Luke 9:51-56

51 When the days were approaching for ¹His ascension, He was determined ²to go to Jerusalem;

52 and He sent messengers on ahead * of Him, and they went and entered a village of the ³Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.

53 But they did not receive Him, ⁴because He was traveling toward Jerusalem.

54 When His disciples ⁵James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to ⁶command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"

55 But He turned and rebuked them, [and said, "You do not know what kind of spirit you are of;

56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."] And they went on to another village.
