Luke 9:52-56
52And ahe sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of bthe Samaritans, to make preparations for him. 53But cthe people did not receive him, because dhis face was set toward Jerusalem. 54And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell efire 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. Luke 10:32-35
32So likewise ha Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33But a iSamaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34He went to him and jbound up his wounds, pouring on koil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35And the next day he took out two ldenarii ▼▼A denarius was a day’s wage for a laborer
and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ John 4:9
9The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” ( nFor Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)John 4:21-22
21Jesus said to her, o“Woman, believe me, pthe hour is coming when qneither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 rYou worship what you do not know; swe worship what we know, for tsalvation is ufrom the Jews.John 4:39-42
39Many Samaritans vfrom that town believed in him wbecause of xthe woman’s testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.” 40So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. 41And many more believed ybecause of his word. 42They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, zand we know that this is indeed aathe Savior abof the world.”John 8:48
Before Abraham Was, I Am
48The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and achave a demon?”Acts 1:8
8But you will receive adpower aewhen the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and afyou will be agmy witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and ahSamaria, and aito the end of the earth.”Acts 8:5-25
5 ajPhilip went down to the city ▼▼Some manuscripts a city
of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ. 6 alAnd the crowds with one accord paid attention to what was being said by Philip, when they heard him amand saw the signs that he did. 7For anunclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who had them, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. 8So aothere was much joy in that city. Simon the Magician Believes
9But there was a man named Simon, apwho had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, aqsaying that he himself was somebody great. 10They all paid attention to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, ar“This man is the power of God that is called asGreat.” 11And they paid attention to him because for a long time he had atamazed them with his magic. 12But when authey believed Philip as he preached good news avabout the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, awthey were baptized, both men and women. 13Even Simon himself believed, and after being baptized he continued with Philip. And axseeing signs and aygreat miracles ▼▼Greek works of power
performed, bahe was amazed. 14Now when bbthe apostles at Jerusalem heard that bcSamaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John, 15who came down and prayed for them bdthat they might receive the Holy Spirit, 16for behe had not yet bffallen on any of them, but bgthey had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17Then bhthey laid their hands on them and bithey received the Holy Spirit. 18Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money, 19saying, “Give me this power also, so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” 20But Peter said to him, bj“May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God bkwith money! 21You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for blyour heart is not right before God. 22Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, bmif possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you. 23For I see that you are in bnthe gall ▼
▼That is, a bitter fluid secreted by the liver; bile
of bitterness and in bpthe bond of iniquity.” 24And Simon answered, bq“Pray for me to the Lord, that nothing of what you have said may come upon me.” 25Now when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, brpreaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
