51When the days drew near for ahim to be taken up, bhe set his face cto go to Jerusalem. 52And dhe sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of ethe Samaritans, to make preparations for him. 53But fthe people did not receive him, because ghis face was set toward Jerusalem. 54And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell hfire to come down from heaven and consume them?” ▼▼Some manuscripts add as Elijah did
55But he turned and rebuked them. ▼▼Some manuscripts add and he said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of; for the Son of Man came not to destroy people’s lives but to save them”
56And they went on to another village. 2 Corinthians 10:1
Paul Defends His Ministry
1 kI, Paul, myself entreat you, by the lmeekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold toward you when I am away!—Philippians 2:7-8
7but memptied himself, by taking the form of a nservant, ▼▼Greek bondservant
pbeing born in the likeness of men. 8And being found in human form, he humbled himself by qbecoming obedient to the point of death, reven death on a cross. 1 Peter 2:21-23
21For sto this you have been called, tbecause Christ also suffered for you, uleaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 vHe committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 wWhen he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, xbut continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.
