And Jesus offered this example, “Can a blind person lead another blind person?
Surely both will fall into a ditch. A disciple is not above the master; but when fully
trained, he will be like the master. So why do you pay attention to the speck in your

But I say to you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. Bless
those who curse you and pray for those who treat you badly. To the one who strikes you on the
cheek, turn the other cheek; from the one who takes your coat, do not keep back your shirt. Give

Again Jesus set out; from the country of Tyre he passed through Sidon and skirting the sea of Galilee, he came to the territory of Decapolis.
There a deaf man who also had difficulty in speaking was brought to him. They asked Jesus to lay his hand upon him. Jesus took him apart
from the crowd, put his fingers into the man’s ears and touched his tongue with spittle. Then, looking up to heaven, he groaned and said

Some people asked him, “The disciples of John fast often and say long prayers, and

One day, as Jesus stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, with a crowd gathered around him listening to the word of God, he caught
sight of two boats, left at the water’s edge by fishermen, now washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging
to Simon, and asked him to pull out a little from the shore. There he sat, and continued to teach the crowd. When he had finished

Leaving the synagogue, Jesus went to the house of Simon. His mother-in-law was suffering from high fever and they asked
him to do something for her. Bending over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she got up and waited on
them. At sunset, people suffering from many kinds of sickness were brought to Jesus. Laying his hands on each one, he healed

Jesus went down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee, and began teaching the people at the sabbath meetings. They were astonished
at the way he taught them, for his word was spoken with authority. In the synagogue there was a man possessed
by an evil spirit who shouted in a loud voice, “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I recognize you:

(...) Jesus then unrolled the scroll and found the place where it is written: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. He has
anointed me, to bring good news to the poor; to proclaim liberty to captives; and new sight to the blind; to free the
oppressed; and to announce the Lord’s year of mercy.” (...) Then he said to them, “Today, these prophetic words come true,
even as you listen.” All agreed with him, and were lost in wonder, while he spoke of the grace of God. Nevertheless they asked, “Who is
this but Joseph’s Son?” (...) Jesus added, “No prophet is honored in his own country. Truly, I say to you, there were many widows
in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens withheld rain for three years and six months and a great famine came over
the whole land. Yet, Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow of Zarephath, in the country of Sidon. (...) On hearing
these words, the whole assembly became indignant. They rose up and brought him out of the town, to the edge of the hill on
which Nazareth is built, intending to throw him down the cliff. But he passed through their midst and went his way.
Reflection:
People would usually admire you if you will admire them in return.
This mutual admiration if based on scratching each others back is not genuine.
It comes from mutual need and not based on reality. Jesus could say good
words to His town mates to win them to His side. He could neutralize them with
praise and flattery. But He does not. He prefers to tell them the truth. He prefers
to win them not with sweet words but with the true knowledge of who they
are. This does not seat well with the assembly. They are affronted by the frank words
of the Lord. And so they rise as one to do Him violence. If Jesus is not centered and
calm, He would have been lost in the swirl of their violent emotions. But He
walks calmly against their turbulent reaction and goes His way. When one remains
coolheaded despite heated emotions, one can always stay above the fray.

One day, the Pharisees gathered around Jesus and with them were some teachers of the Law who had just come from Jerusalem.
They noticed that some of his disciples were eating their meal with unclean hands, that is, without washing them. Now the Pharisees,
and in fact, all the Jews, never eat without washing their hands for they follow the tradition received from their ancestors. Nor do they
eat anything when they come from the market without first washing themselves. And there are many other traditions they observe, for example,

Imagine someone who, before going abroad, summoned his servants to entrust his property to them. He gave five talents of silver to
one servant, two talents to another servant, and one talent to a third, to each, according to his ability; and he went away. (...) He who received
five talents went at once to do business with the talents, and gained another five. The one who received two talents did the same, and gained
