Luke 9:49-56

English Standard Version

Anyone Not Against Us Is For Us

^49 (A)John answered, “Master, we saw someone ^(B)casting out demons in your name, and ^(C)we tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us.” ⁵⁰ But Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him, ^(D)for the one who is not against you is for you.”

A Samaritan Village Rejects Jesus

⁵¹ When the days drew near for ^(E)him to be taken up, ^(F)he set his face ^(G)to go to Jerusalem. ⁵² And ^(H)he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of ^(I)the Samaritans, to make preparations for him. ⁵³ But ^(J)the people did not receive him, because ^(K)his face was set toward Jerusalem. ⁵⁴ And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell ^(L)fire to come down from heaven and consume them?”^{[a] 55} But he turned and rebuked them.^{[b] 56} And they went on to another village.
