MMW 12 Chapter Notes - Chapter Reading: Pharisees, Saint Peter
Document Summary
John the baptist foretells the coming of christ. Christ exorcises a man in the crowd he"s preaching to. Jesus goes around curing people, casting out demons, and proclaiming his message (that he was the son of god). He cured a leper and the leper told everyone what happened and he got so popular he couldn"t openly go into towns. He says that anyone who does the work of god is his family. He chooses the 12 disciples: simon peter, james, john, andrew, philip, bartholomew, matthew, thomas, james the lesser, thaddaeus, simon, judas. Jesus speaks only in parables and confuses the shit out of everyone. An old woman touches jesus" cloak and is healed of chronic disease. Herod and his people don"t know who jesus is. Herod had james the baptist beheaded because his daughter did a nice dance and he promised her whatever she wanted.
