I love Tom Wright’s way of standing back from the text and showing you how astonishing it must have been at the time, and how significant it is now. We’re familiar with the words, but he makes it fresh.
4.15 Did the apostles get tired of the sophisticates of Jerusalem sneering at Galilee? Isaiah 9.1 points to Galilee’s significance.
4.17 Jesus’ message is the same as John’s in 3.2: did the cousins talk together about the kingdom?
4.24 Severe diseases, not minor ones: today, medical workers fear paralysis and seizures.
