I really am starting to like how Jesus shuts up all the people who are offended by his teachings. He finds real sins that aren't considered sins and says that little things like not washing your hands before eating bread aren't really sins. I also like when he says that you have to have faith. In my own words, it's like the bible is telling us that nothing is really impossible. If you truly believe in something, then it will happen. I like that to a certain extent, but walking on water, come on…I also didn't know that Peter also walked on the sea. Even though it was only for a short moment, he also did what Jesus could do and my interpretation is that he only didn't last as long because he didn't have as much faith as Jesus. It seems that towards the end the disciples start to ask a lot of questions. They kind of seem lost now that they now that Jesus was going to be killed. It reminds me of the movie Mean Girls, when the two friends start following Katie around when Regina is no longer at the head. They seem lost and they turn to the next best thing. I wonder where the disciples will turn after the death of Christ.
The chief priests and Pharisees being afraid of the multitude when they want to put their hands on Christ is perfectly foreshadowing everything that will happen when the Church comes into power. Everyone is scared of the Church because of its power and thus do nothing. Just like these Pharisees and chief priests cannot touch Jesus, no one will dare do bad against the Church for the same reason.
