New Testament

Luke 9:50-54 Amplified Bible (AMP)

50. But Jesus told him, Do not forbid [such people]; for whoever is not against you is for you.

51. Now when the time was almost come for Jesus to be received up [to heaven], He steadfastly and determinedly set His face to go to Jerusalem.

52. And He sent messengers before Him; and they reached and entered a Samaritan village to make [things] ready for Him;

53. But [the people] would not welcome or receive or accept Him, because His face was [set as if He was] going to Jerusalem.

54. And when His disciples James and John observed this, they said, Lord, do You wish us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, even as Elijah did ? [II Kings 1:9-16.]
