nd it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. **A**nd he sent messengers before his face; and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him. **A**nd they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem¹. **A**nd when his disciples James and John had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?
And turning, he rebuked them², saying: You know not of what spirit you are. The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save.
And they went into another town
Douay-Rheims 1899
¹ Face to go to Jerusalem. The Samaritans were Schismatics from the Jews, and had a Schismatical temple in mount Garizim, of purpose to draw men thither from God’s temple in Jerusalem, where only was the true, and as it were, the Catholic service and sacrifice unto God. Therefore they did not gladly receive our Saviour, because they perceived he was going to Jerusalem.
² He rebuked them. Not justice nor all rigorous punishment of sinners is here forbidden, nor Elias’ fact reprehended, nor the Church or Christian Princes blamed for putting heretics to death: but that none of these should be done for desire of our particular revenge, or without discretion, and regard of their amendment, and example to others. Therefore Peter used his power upon Ananias and Saphira, when he struck them both down to death for defrauding the Church.
