Chapter summary
Nazareth rejection — 'a prophet is not without honour, but in his own country.' The Twelve sent out two by two. Herod's birthday feast; John the Baptist beheaded. Five thousand fed (five loaves, two fish, twelve baskets remain). Walking on the sea; Gennesaret's sick healed at the hem of his garment.
Drafted from Matthew Henry, Calvin, Gill, Clarke, JFB, and Barnes.
