“And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.”
And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him — the journey toward Jerusalem passes through Samaria — the most direct route through hated territory. The Samaritan village that is approached for hospitality represents both the inclusive reach of the mission and the specific rejection that will follow.
