51. The time was coming near when Jesus would leave and go back to heaven. He decided to go to Jerusalem.
52. He sent some men ahead of him. They went into a town in Samaria to make everything ready for him.

54. James and John, the followers of Jesus, saw this. They said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven and destroy those people?”
55. But Jesus turned and criticized them for saying this.
56. Then he and his followers went to another town.
57. They were all traveling along the road. Someone said to Jesus, “I will follow you anywhere you go.”
58. He answered, “The foxes have holes to live in. The birds have nests. But the Son of Man has no place where he can rest his head.”
