Luke 9:51-55

⁵¹The time was soon coming for Jesus to go back to heaven, and he knew that, so he started to go to Jerusalem city. He wasn’t going to let anything stop him.

⁵²He walked along the road, and he was getting close to a community in Samaria country, so he sent some messengers ahead of him to ask the people there for a place to camp that night.

⁵³But the people in that community said, “No. He is going to Jerusalem. We don’t like that Jerusalem mob, so he is not our friend. He can’t camp here tonight.”

⁵⁴James and John, 2 of his close followers, heard what they said, and those 2 said to Jesus, “Can we ask God to send fire down from the sky and kill all those people? Do you want us to do that?”

⁵⁵Jesus turned around and said, “No. That is very wrong. Don’t do it.”
