Jesus Forbids Sectarianism

49 aNow John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”  
50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him, for ahe who is not against us is on2 our side.”  

A Samaritan Village Rejects the Savior

51 Now it came to pass, when the time had come for aHim to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,  
52 and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him.
53 But athey did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem.  
54 And when His disciples aJames and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them,1 just as bElijah did?”  
55 But He turned and rebuked them,1 and said, “You do not know what manner of aspirit you are of.  
56 For athe Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village.  

The Cost of Discipleship

57 aNow it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.”

Luke 9:51

That he should be received up - Bishop Pearce says: "I think the word must signify, of Jesus' s retiring or withdrawing himself, and not of his being received up: because the word , here used before it, denotes a time completed, which that of his ascension was not then. The sense is, that the time was come, when Jesus was no longer to retire from Judea and the parts about Jerusalem as he had hitherto done; for he had lived altogether in Galilee, lest the Jews should have laid hold on him, before the work of his ministry was ended, and full proofs of his Divine mission given, and some of the prophecies concerning him accomplished. John says, John 7:1 : Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. Let it be observed, that all which follows here in Luke, to Luke 19:45, is represented by him as done by Jesus in his last journey from Galilee to Jerusalem."

He steadfastly set his face - That is, after proper and mature deliberation, he chose now to go up to Jerusalem, and firmly determined to accomplish his design.
