9. Luke 9:51 As the time approached for
him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus
resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 52
And he sent messengers on ahead,
who went into a Samaritan village to
get things ready for him; 53 but the
people there did not welcome him,
because he was heading for
Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples
James and John saw this, they asked,
“Lord, do you want us to call fire down
from heaven to destroy them?” 55 But
Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56
Then he and his disciples went to
another village.

the Lord your God with all
your heart and with all your
