9:51	Now it happened that, while the days of his dissipation were being completed, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
9:52	And he sent messengers before his face. And going on, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.
9:53	And they would not receive him, because his face was going toward Jerusalem.
9:54	And when his disciples, James and John, had seen this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call for fire to descend from heaven and consume them?”
9:55	And turning, he rebuked them, saying: “Do you not know of whose spirit you are?
9:56	The Son of man came, not to destroy lives, but to save them.” And they went into another town.
