Sitting at His Feet

One sentence in particular, stood out to me – ‘Mary, who also sat at the Jesus’ feet and heard His word.’

I wondered, ‘Why was this specifically mentioned in Luke’s narrative, and is this mentioned of anyone else?’ I discovered it is. In Acts 22:3 Paul writes, “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city (Jerusalem) at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the strictness of our fathers’ law…”  Gamaliel was a Pharisee who taught the law and was highly respected by all the Jewish people.

Through Myrah’s Eyes

The very next day,  Jamal burst through the door of their small house.  “The Preacher Man is in a deserted place just outside of Capernaum!” He exclaimed.  “Let’s take our sons and go!” 
A multitude of people streamed to where the Preacher was said to be healing the sick and speaking of the Kingdom of God.  “We must hurry,” Jamal urged.
