Luke 9:53 Context
51¶ And it came to passe, when the time was come that he should bee receiued vp, he stedfastly set his face to goe to Hierusalem, 52And sent messengers before his face, and they went and entred into a village of the Samaritanes to make ready for him. 53And they did not receiue him, because his face was as though he would goe to Hierusalem. 54And when his disciples, Iames and Iohn sawe this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that wee command fire to come downe from heauen, and consume them, euen as Elias did? 55But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what maner spirit ye are of.

9:53 His face was as though he would go to Jerusalem - It plainly appeared, he was going to worship at the temple, and thereby, in effect, to condemn the Samaritan worship at Mount Gerizim.
People's Bible Notes for Luke 9:53
Lu 9:53 They did not receive him. Because he was evidently journeying to Jerusalem. This stirred up their bigotry. They thus not only refused Jesus as a prophet, but violated the sacred duties of hospitality. The refusal to receive a religious teacher was considered rejection of his claims.
