And, be happy with the pay you receive.”…(Later, John denounced Herod Antipas, the ruler, by saying, “You were wrong to marry Herodias.

  • John 1:29-30 – The next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him. John said, “Look, God’s Lamb who will take away the world’s sin! 30This is the one I was talking about: ‘The man who is coming behind me has been ahead of me, because he was alive before I was.’ 
  • John 2:14-16 – 14He found some men in the temple courtyard. They were selling cattle, sheep, and pigeons. The money-exchangers were also sitting there.b 15Jesus made a whip from some ropes.

He turned the money-exchangers’ tables over and scattered their coins. 16He said to the men who were selling pigeons, “Get those things out of here! Don’t turn my Father’s House into a place of business!”

He took Jesus at his word and left. 51While the man was going down to Capernaum, his servants met him. They said, “Your child lives!” 52Then the man began asking them questions about the exact time when the boy got better. They answered, “The fever left him yesterday at one o’clock in the afternoon.” 
  • Matthew 8:2-3 – Then, suddenly, a man with leprosy came to him. He bowed down in front of Jesus.

Immediately, the man’s leprosy was healed. 
  • Matthew 7:24-29 – “So, every person who listens to these words of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house upon bedrock. 25It rained and the rivers overflowed. The winds blew hard against that house, but the house did not fall, because it was founded upon bedrock! 26However, every person who listens to these words of mine but does not obey them is like a foolish man; he built his house upon sand. 27The rain came down and the rivers overflowed. The winds blew hard against that house, and it fell down. It was a terrible fall!” 28And when Jesus finished saying these things, the crowds were greatly amazed at his teaching. 29Jesus was teaching them as one having authority, not like their teachers of the law.
  • John 20:30-31 – Jesus showed many more proofs from God in front of his followers, but those are not written in this book. 31These proofs have been written, so that you, the readers, might believe this: Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God.

  • Mark 3:14-19 – He appointed twelve and named them “apostles.”b He wanted them to be with him and to send them out to proclaim. 15They would have authority to throw out demons. 16These are the twelve men whom Jesus chose: Simon (Jesus called him Peter.); 17James, the son of Zebedee; John, James’ brother (Jesus gave them the name Boanerges; this means “sons of thunder.”); 18Andrew; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James (the son of Halphaeus); Thaddaeus; Simon the Revolutionary;c 19and Judas Iscariot (the one who turned against Jesus).
  • Luke 8:1-3 –  Later, Jesus was traveling through each town and village. He was proclaiming and preaching the Good News about God’s kingdom. The twelve apostles were with him. 2There were also some women with him. Jesus had healed these women of evil spirits and sicknesses. One of the women was Mary, from a town called Magdala. Seven demons had come out of her. 3Also, there were: Joanna, the wife of Chuza (Herod Antipas’ business manager), Suzanna, and many other women. These women used their own money to help Jesus and his apostles.
  • Matthew 10:9-12 – Don’t take along any gold, silver, or copper in your money-belts. 10Don’t take a bag for the trip, an extra suit of clothes, shoes, or a walking cane.
