About this episode

The episode discusses Jesus' relationship with his apostles and disciples as they journey to Jerusalem, focusing on themes of ministry, devotion, and a parable about loving one's neighbor.

Today’s chapters focus more on the relationship Jesus has with his apostles and his disciples, as he empowers them for ministry, provides for them, calls them to wholehearted devotion, and warns them of his future death. Jesus and His disciples begin making their way to Jerusalem where He will face the agony of the cross, but He has much to say and to teach before that hour arrives. On the road to Jerusalem, when asked to define what it means to love your neighbor, Jesus tells a parable that would have shocked his audience, as he makes a detestable Samaritan the hero of the story rather than an upright, religious Jew.
