Cross-references

Luke 9:52–56
Contrast
In Luke 9:52-56, Samaritans rejected Jesus and James/John wanted fire; here the same apostles preach and are received — a reversal showing gospel triumph.
John 4:41
Parallel
In John 4:41, many Samaritans believed through Jesus' word; here the apostles continue that harvest in the same region — a direct mission continuity.
