Luke 9:46-56
46ThenG1161 an argumentG1261 startedG1525 amongG1722 the disciples as to whichG5101G302 of themG846 would beG1510 the greatestG3173. 47ButG1161 JesusG2424, knowingG1492 theG3588 thoughtsG1261 ofG3588 theirG846 heartsG2588, hadG1949G2476G846 a little child standG3813 besideG3844 HimG1438. 48AndG2532 He saidG2036 to themG846, “WhoeverG3739G1437 welcomesG1209 thisG3778 little childG3813 inG1909 MyG1473 nameG3686 welcomesG1209 MeG1473, andG2532 whoeverG3739G302 welcomesG1209 MeG1473 welcomesG1209 theG3588 One who sentG649 MeG1473. ForG1063 whoeverG3588 isG5225 the leastG3398 amongG1722 allG3956 of youG4771, heG3778 isG1510 the greatestG3173.”
49“MasterG1988,” saidG611G2036 JohnG2491, “we sawG3708 someoneG5100 driving outG1544 demonsG1140 inG1722 YourG4771 nameG3686, andG2532 we tried to stopG2967 himG846, becauseG3754G3756 he does not accompanyG190G3326 usG1473.”
50“Do notG3361 stopG2967 him,” JesusG2424 repliedG2036, “forG1063 whoeverG3739 isG1510 notG3756 againstG2596 youG4771 isG1510 forG5228 youG4771.”
AsG1722 theG3588 dayG2250 ofG3588 HisG846 ascensionG354 approachedG4845, Jesus resolutely set outG4741G3588G4383G4198 forG1519 JerusalemG2419. 52He sentG649 messengersG32 on aheadG4253G846G4383, who wentG4198G1525 intoG1519 a villageG2968 of the SamaritansG4541 toG5613 make arrangementsG2090 for HimG846. 53ButG2532 the people there refused to welcomeG3756G1209 HimG846, becauseG3754 HeG846G3588G4383 wasG1510 headingG4198 forG1519 JerusalemG2419.
54WhenG1161 theG3588 disciplesG3101 JamesG2385 andG2532 JohnG2491 sawG3708 this, they askedG2036, “LordG2962, do You wantG2309 us to callG2036 downG2597 fireG4442 fromG575 heavenG37721 to consumeG355 themG846?”
55ButG1161 Jesus turnedG4762 and rebukedG2008 themG846.2 56AndG2532 He and His disciples went onG4198 toG1519 anotherG2087 villageG2968.
