International Standard Version
A Samaritan Village Refuses to Welcome Jesus
51 When the days grew closer for Jesus[a] to be taken up to heaven,[b] he was determined to continue his journey to Jerusalem. 52 So he sent messengers on ahead of him. On their way they went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him. 53 But the people[c] would not welcome him, because he was determined to go to Jerusalem. 54 When his disciples James and John observed this rejection,[d] they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?”[e] 55 But he turned and rebuked them,[f] 56 and they all[g] went on to another village.
