From Ps Titom Taken from prophet insight Samaritan Nation In Luke 9, the Samaritans, who had the serious spiritual problem of mixing the Jewish faith with false religious notions, wanted Jesus to leave their region. Jesus disciples were terribly offended for His sake: 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? But He turned and rebuked them, and said, You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; for the Son of Man did not come to destroy mens lives, but to save them. And they went on to another village (Luke 9:54-56 NASB). However, even after being initially rejected by the Samaritans, in the very next chapter, Jesus uses them as a surprising symbol of Gods kindness in sharing the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). Later on, in the Book of Acts, the whole region of Samaria responds to Jesus.
