Luke 9:53-57 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

53. But the people there would not welcome him 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 scolded them. [And Jesus said, “You don’t know what kind of spirit you belong to.

56. The Son of Man did not come to destroy the souls of men but to save them.”] Then he and his followers went to another town.

57. They were all going along the road. Someone said to Jesus, “I will follow you any place you go.”
