*
Now John answered and said , "
Master ,
we saw someone casting out demons in Your name ,
and we forbade him because he does not follow with us ."
*
But Jesus said to him , "
Do not forbid him ,
for he who is not against us is on our side ."
*
Now it came to pass ,
when the time had come for Him to be received up ,
that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem ,
*
and sent messengers before His face .
And as they went ,
they entered a village of the Samaritans ,
to prepare for Him .
*
But they did not receive Him ,
because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem .
*
And when His disciples James and John saw this ,
they said , "
Lord ,
do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them ,
just as Elijah did ?"
*
But He turned and rebuked them ,
and said , "
You do not know what manner of spirit you are of .
*
For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men '
s lives but to save them ."
And they went to another village .
