Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Luke 9:49-56

49“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
50“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”
51As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
52He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.
53But the people there refused to welcome Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.
54When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”
55But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
56And He and His disciples went on to another village.
