Notes: -(v.1-6) When Jesus went to his hometown, people questioned where Jesus get his wisdom and power, and were offended by him. Jesus, amazed at their lack of faith, sad, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." He did not do any miracles except healing a few sick because of their lack of faith.
-(v.7-12) Jesus called the Twelve and gave them authority over evil spirits. He instructed them to take nothing except a staff, to wear sandals but not an extra tunic, and to stay at a house until they leave that town. If any place is unwelcome to them, they were to shake the dust off their feet when they leave.
-(v.14-29) Some had claimed that Jesus was John the Baptist raised from the dead, or Elijah, or a prophet. Herod, who had given orders to have John arrested and beheaded, thought that John has been raised from the dead. Herod beheaded John from the orders of Herodias, Herod's brother Philip's wife. Herodias' daughter pleased the king and was offered anything she asked--she wanted the head of John the Baptist. John's head was brought on a platter
-(v.30-44) Jesus went to a solitary place, but was followed by a crowd. He had compassion on them because they were like a sheep without a shepherd, so he began to to teach. When it was late, he told his disciples to give them something to eat. He took five loaves of bread and two fish, gave thanks, and fed five thousand men. There were twelve basketfulls leftover.
-(v.45-56) At evening, Jesus started walking to his disciples in the middle of the late. When they saw him, they were terrified. Jesus told them to take courage, and then climbed into the boat with them.
