Luke 9:55 Context
53And they did not receiue him, because his face was as though he would goe to Hierusalem. 54And when his disciples, Iames and Iohn sawe this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that wee command fire to come downe from heauen, and consume them, euen as Elias did? 55But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what maner spirit ye are of. 56For the Sonne of man is not come to destroy mens liues, but to saue them. And they went to another village. 57¶ And it came to passe that as they went in the way, a certaine man said vnto him, Lord, I wil follow thee whithersoeuer thou goest.

People's Bible Notes for Luke 9:55
Lu 9:55 He . . . rebuked them. Their spirit was not his. He quietly left the inhospitable village and went elsewhere. He was not a destroyer, but a Savior. Zeal for Christ is no excuse for fanaticism.
