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.”
