The act of turning indicates a deliberate and intentional response from Jesus. This moment highlights His awareness and attentiveness to the actions and attitudes of His disciples. In the broader context of the Gospels, Jesus often turns to address His followers, emphasizing His role as a teacher and guide. The physical act of turning can also symbolize a shift in focus or a change in direction, both literally and metaphorically, as Jesus redirects the disciples' thoughts and actions.<p><b>and rebuked them.</b><br>The rebuke from Jesus is significant, as it demonstrates His disapproval of the disciples' suggestion to call down fire from heaven on the Samaritan village. This reflects Jesus' teachings on love, mercy, and forgiveness, contrasting with the disciples' initial reaction of judgment and retribution. The rebuke serves as a reminder of Jesus' mission to seek and save the lost, not to destroy them. This moment also connects to other instances in the Gospels where Jesus corrects His disciples, teaching them the values of the Kingdom of God. The rebuke underscores the importance of aligning one's actions with the character and mission of Christ, who embodies grace and compassion.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a></b><br>The central figure in this passage, Jesus is the Son of God, who came to teach, heal, and ultimately sacrifice Himself for humanity's sins.

Looking to the general use of the word "spirit" in our Lord's teaching, the former way of taking the words seems, on the whole, preferable, and agrees better with what follows. The Spirit which had claimed them for its own was one that led Him to save and not to destroy.
