When the days for Jesus to be taken up were fulfilled, he resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem, and he sent messengers ahead of him. On the way they entered a Samaritan village to prepare for his reception there, but they would not welcome him because the destination of his journey was Jerusalem. When the disciples James and John saw this they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?” Jesus turned and rebuked them, and they journeyed to another village.

Nie bądź mściwy
Gdy dopełniały się dni wzięcia Jezusa z tego świata, postanowił udać się do Jeruzalem, i wysłał przed sobą posłańców. Ci wybrali się w drogę i weszli do pewnego miasteczka samarytańskiego, by przygotować Mu pobyt. Nie przyjęto Go jednak, ponieważ zmierzał do Jeruzalem. Widząc to, uczniowie Jakub i Jan rzekli: «Panie, czy chcesz, byśmy powiedzieli: Niech ogień spadnie z nieba i pochłonie ich?» Lecz On, odwróciwszy się, zgromił ich. I udali się do innego miasteczka. Łk 9, 51-56

Poor and Rich
Jesus said to the Pharisees: “There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day. And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table. Dogs even used to come and lick his sores. When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, and from the netherworld, where he was in torment, he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he cried out, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me. Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering torment in these flames.’ Abraham replied, ‘My child, remember that you received what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what was bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented. Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is established to prevent anyone from crossing who might wish to go from our side to yours or from your side to ours.’ LK 16:19-26
