9:55

But Jesus turned and rebuked them:
Jesus was probably leading the disciples along the road. He turned around to speak to James and John. He answered them by rebuking them, that is, by telling them that they were thinking in a wrong way. Jesus did not want them to ask God to kill the Samaritan villagers. Another way to translate this clause is:

But Jesus turned and scolded them (New Century Version)
-or-
But Jesus turned and corrected them for what they had said (Contemporary English Version)

rebuked: The word rebuked means that Jesus made it clear that what the disciples had said was wrong. They had a wrong attitude. In some languages it may be necessary to use direct speech. Supply something general such as:

said, “No. That is wrong.”
