Luke 9

49 Ref And John answering said, `Master, we saw a certain one in thy name casting forth the demons, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow with us;'

50 Ref and Jesus said unto him, `Forbid not, for he who is not against us, is for us.'

51 Ref And it came to pass, in the completing of the days of his being taken up, that he fixed his face to go on to Jerusalem,

52 Ref and he sent messengers before his face, and having gone on, they went into a village of Samaritans, to make ready for him,

53 Ref and they did not receive him, because his face was going on to Jerusalem.

54 Ref And his disciples James and John having seen, said, `Sir, wilt thou `that' we may command fire to come down from the heaven, and to consume them, as also Elijah did?'

55 Ref and having turned, he rebuked them, and said, `Ye have not known of what spirit ye are;

56 Ref for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save;' and they went on to another village.
