Luke 9:54-56

Expanded Bible

⁵⁴ When James and John, ·followers [disciples] of Jesus, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven and ·destroy [burn up; consume] those people^[a] [2 Kin. 1:10]?”

⁵⁵ But Jesus turned and ·scolded [rebuked] them. |And Jesus said, “You don’t know what kind of spirit you belong to. ⁵⁶ The Son of Man [^Ca title for the Messiah; Dan. 7:13–14] did not come to destroy the ·souls [lives] of people but to save them.”|^[b] Then they went to another town.
