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.
53. But the people there would not welcome Jesus because he was going toward Jerusalem.
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.
