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.

What do we learn about the Kingdom of Heaven in verses 1-16? How did the disciples react (this time) to Jesus' announcement of his impending execution? Were James and John eager "to be mocked and flogged and crucified"? [22] Who became angry, and why? How did Jesus handle the situation? [24-28] What relationship(s) and attitude(s) did Jesus say must characterize the disciples? [26-28] How were the blind beggars treated?
