shows the ruins of the temple of
Augustus ("Augusteum") in Samaria. It
was constructed by Herod the Great, as
a gratitude to Caesar Augustus, who
gave Herod territories as a present.

Lk 9:52-56:"And
sent messengers before his face: and
they went, and entered into a village
of the Samaritans, to make ready for
him. And they did not receive him,
because his face was as though he
would go to Jerusalem.
And when his
disciples James and John saw this,
they said, Lord, wilt thou that we
command fire to come down from heaven,
and consume them, even as Elias did?
But he turned, and rebuked them, and
said, Ye know not what manner of
spirit ye are of. For the Son of man
is not come to destroy men's lives,
but to save them. And they went to
another village".
