Luke 9:53-56
J.B. Phillips New Testament
He sets off for Jerusalem to meet inevitable death
51-54 Now as the days before he should be taken back into Heaven were running out, he resolved to go to Jerusalem, and sent messengers in front of him. They set out and entered a Samaritan village to make preparations for him. But the people there refused to welcome him because he was obviously intending to go to Jerusalem. When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Master, do you want us to call down fire from heaven and burn them all up?”
55-56 But Jesus turned and reproved them, and they all went on to another village.
