New King James Version
Luke 9:46-56
46Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest.
47And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a little child and set him by Him,
48and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all will be great.”
49Now John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”
50But Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side.”
51Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,
52and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him.
53But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem.
54And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?”
55But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of.
56For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village.
