Luke 9:52

50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

51 As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.

He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.

53 But the people there refused to welcome Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.

54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”
