SCRIPTURE

"And they did not receive him, because his face was [as though he were] going to Jerusalem." — Luke 9:53 (ASV)

And they did not receive him (κα ουκ εδεξαντο αυτον). Adversative use of κα = But.

Because his face was going to Jerusalem (οτ το προσωπον αυτου ην πορευομενον εις Ιερουσαλημ). Periphrastic imperfect middle. It was reason enough to the churlish Samaritans.
