Commuter Bible

Luke 5-6, Ecclesiastes 3

Episode Summary

As the crowds begin to gather in greater number, Jesus gets in a boat, pushes out a little, and preaches; this would have helped to amplify his voice and give him a little space from the those who were pushing in on him. As he performs miraculous signs that display his power over creation, dedicated disciples begin to grow in number. He then appoints 12 men to be his apostles. These men would have had unique access to Jesus and responsibilities beyond those given to others who had been gathering as disciples. As disciples accumulate, so do those who are opposed to his teaching, and their rage begins to fester.
