Luke9:54
54 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.
The History of Elias (to which the Disciples refer) is doubtless that, 2 Kings 1.10. where Elias not without direction from God, called for Fire from Heaven to destroy those Captains and their Fifties, which the King sent to take him.
Marginal references: 2 Kings 1.10.
