Luke 9:51-56

The Christ Revealed, the Cross Announced, and the Jerusalem Road Begun

Luke moves from delegated mission to growing public confusion, from wilderness provision to messianic confession, from glory on the mountain to failure below, and from Galilean ministry toward the determined road to Jerusalem.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

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

52He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.

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

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

55But Jesus turned and rebuked them.

56And He and His disciples went on to another village.
