The Lord went out to a mountain and continued in prayer all night over the men He would select to be closest to Him and whom He would trust with authority to carry on after He ascended. He chose twelve men.
Unintimidated Ministry
In a synagogue a handicapped man became a battlefield between Jesus and legalistic clerics. Unintimidated, He healed the man on the Sabbath against their wishes. For this they plotted His destruction.
Stubborn Inflexibility
Christ’s calling of Levi to follow Him lead to criticisms from religious leaders. Then they questioned and whined about His disciples not fasting, then their eating grain in the fields. Jesus stood up to stubbornness.
Actions Louder than Words
As Christ preached in a house so crowded with listeners that four men had to break through the roof to get their paralytic friend to Him. Jesus forgave the man’s sins, then to silence his critics, He healed the man too.
Jesus in Action
Before departing Capernaum Jesus found a solitary place to pray, causing a frantic search for Him. He then preached in Galilee’s synagogues and cast out demons. Then He healed a leper who later disobeyed Him.
