Luke 9:51-53

The Voice

⁵¹ The time approached for Him to be taken back up to the Father; so strong with resolve, Jesus made Jerusalem His destination.

⁵² He sent some people ahead of Him into the territory of the Samaritans, a minority group at odds with the Jewish majority. He wanted His messengers to find a place for them to stay in a village along the road to Jerusalem. ⁵³ But because the Samaritans realized Jesus was going to Jerusalem, they refused to welcome them.
