As the Jewish feast of Tabernacles approached Jesus’s brothers encouraged him to go to Jerusalem and continue his ministry in public there, but Jesus held back, knowing the time was not right. He waited until they had left then set off with his disciples, leaving secretly and quietly. On the way they came to a Samaritan village, but when James and John went in the locals did not welcome them. They returned wild-eyed and breathing fire.
James: Lord – the people of the town don’t want us here! Can you believe that?
John: What will you do Lord? Call down a thunderbolt on the town and burn it up?
Jesus: No! We’ll just go on to the next village.
James: But Lord – they were quite vocal about disliking us.
John: Are you sure you don’t want to send down a bolt on them?
