51As the days before his being taken up to heaven were growing few, Jesus set his face resolutely in the direction of Jerusalem; and he sent on messengers in advance.
52On their way, they went into a Samaritan village to make preparations for him,
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.
51And it was done, when the days of his taking up were fulfilled (or when it would soon be the day that he would be taken up into heaven), he set fast his face, to go to Jerusalem,
52and sent messengers before his sight. And they went, and entered into a city of Samaritans, to make ready to him (or to prepare it for him).
