“For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.”
And they went to another village — the response to the Samaritan rejection is simply to go to another village. The non-retaliatory departure is the enacted application of the dust-shaking instruction: leave the unreceptive place and move on. The kingdom does not force its welcome.
