And they rose up and thrust Him outside the city, and led Him up to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, in order to throw Him down.

And they were astonished at His doctrine, for His word was with authority.

And He 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 going toward Jerusalem.

For the Son of Man has not come to destroy men's lives, but to save. And they went to another village.

And into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.
