Ministry in Galilee

Jesus was going about in all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

And He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying,

Therefore, whoever nullifies one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching;

for He was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.

Then a scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, “Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?”

Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.

The Meaning of Discipleship

“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master.

It is enough for the disciple that he may become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they insult the members of his household!

John’s Questions

When Jesus had finished giving instructions to His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

The Desire for Signs

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

Jesus Teaches in Parables

On that day Jesus had gone out of the house and was sitting by the sea.

And He came to His hometown and began teaching them in their synagogue, with the result that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man acquire this wisdom and these miraculous powers?

And in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”

Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

The Temple Tax

Now when they came to Capernaum, those who collected the two-drachma tax came to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the two-drachma tax?”

The Rich Young Ruler

And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do so that I may obtain eternal life?”

Authority Challenged

When He entered the temple area, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was teaching, and said, “By what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

And they *sent their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and do not care what anyone thinks; for You are not partial to anyone.

saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother.’

When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”

But as for you, do not be called Rabbi; for only One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers and sisters.

And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near; I am keeping the Passover at your house with My disciples.”’”
