For each passage we'll note who Jesus encountered, whether he initiated the contact, what type of interaction he had with them, whether He took direct action to meet human needs (see Matthew 25:35-36 for examples), whether His "do-ing" was miraculous, and any commands He gave.
How did Jesus handle doubters or those who opposed Him [what did Jesus do?] (chapter 9)? How should we handle opposition [what should we do?] (chapter 10)? What standard or basis for judgment does Jesus establish in chapter 11 (see verses 4-6, and 19)?
