  "context": "Luke identifies the refusal with Jesus’s destination, not an inability of all Samaritans to respond. The next chapter’s Samaritan neighbor and the later grateful Samaritan prevent making this village stand for an entire people.",
  "question": "How does Jesus respond to the disciples’ desire to punish rejection?",
