Heir Ship Dirigible

After making his rounds throughout the cities of Israel, Jesus returns to his childhood home of Nazareth. As he does regularly, he attends the synagogue on the Sabbath. When it comes his turn to read and expound, he teaches on the present fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy in chapter 61. At first, the people are captivated and amazed, but they soon take offense as they realize the deeper implications of the things he is saying. Soon afterward, Jesus believes twelve of his closest followers to be ready to replicate the things which he is saying and doing. He had taught them and trained them one on one, and now he sends them out to the cities of Israel just as he himself had done, commanding them to heal the sick, cast out demons, and raise the dead. Essentially, they were to show and tell that God was establishing His kingdom upon the earth. In the midst of this, Herod executes John the Baptist, after which Jesus and his followers retreat into a desert place for a brief respite.Support the show
