  • PER209 The journey through Samaria

    Pericope 209 recounts the journey of Jesus and his disciples through Samaria, reported only by Luke. Leaving Galilee on October 3, AD 32, Jesus chooses the shorter Samaritan route to Jerusalem. Some villages refuse to welcome him, illustrating the tensions between Jews and Samaritans, while others accept him. This passage foreshadows the universal mission and the future evangelization of the region by the 70 disciples.

    Luke 9.52-53 (King James Version) :
    And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

  • PER210 The reaction of James and John

    During Jesus’ journey through Samaria, James and John, the “sons of thunder,” propose calling down fire from heaven on a hostile Samaritan village. Jesus sternly rebukes them, reminding them that he came to save people, not to destroy them. This episode, reported only by Luke (Lk 9.54-56), illustrates the Jewish-Samaritan tensions and the gradual formation of the disciples toward a spirit of mercy.

    Luke 9.54-56 (King James Version) :
    And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
