The Ascension | Bible Story

The Ascension | Bible Story The disciples found that what Jesus had said was true. Peter had always felt guilty about denying that he knew Jesus when he was put to death. But one night, when he, James, John, and some others were fishing unsuccessfully, a man on the shore asked him to cast his net on the other side. Peter obeyed him and got a large haul of fish. “It is the Lord!” John shouted, and Peter waded into the water. He saw Jesus waiting with bread to share with the fish. When they had eaten, Jesus asked Peter, “Do you love me more than these others?” “You know I do, Lord,” replied Peter humbly. “Feed my lambs,” said Jesus and asked him the same question a second and a third time. And again, Peter gave the same reply. And then Peter knew that Jesus had forgiven him! “Remain

Herod And Pilate Judgement | Bible Story

Herod And Pilate Judgement | Bible Story Herod was delighted to see Jesus. He had heard so much about this man and his miraculous powers. He had wanted to see him do a miracle in front of him, and he still hoped to witness something. He questioned Jesus repeatedly, but Jesus stood silent and did not say a word in reply to Herod. This made him feel frustrated and angry. The scribes and elders continued to accuse Jesus before Herod. So he finally mocked him by putting a gorgeous robe on him and sending him back to Pilate. Herod and Pilate had been enemies for some time, but this incident made them come together as friends.

The Authority of Jesus | Bible Story

The Authority of Jesus | Bible Story The city’s priests, elders, and Pharisees were angry with Jesus. He asked people to believe in God and realize the power of their faith. “If you have faith and don’t doubt, and you tell this mountain to fall into the sea, it will be moved from here and thrown into the sea!” Jesus told the crowds. If the people started to listen to what he said, the priests and others who had been tricking them in the name of God would lose all their money and power. So, they tried to stop him by asking, “Who gave you permission to do and say these things?” Jesus replied, “I’ll ask you one question, and if you answer it, I’ll answer your question.” How did John the Baptist know what to do when he baptized people?

The Good Guest | Bible Story One day, while it was the Sabbath, Jesus stopped in the house of a Pharisee. Many guests gathered outside the house, including a man who suffered from dropsy or sleeping sickness. Everyone wondered if it was right to heal someone on the Sabbath, as it was said that no work must be done on that day. “If your ox or ass falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take him out?” Jesus asked as he proceeded to cure the man of his illness. Then Jesus spoke to them about pride and humility, for the Pharisee and his friends were important people in the community and proud too. “If you are invited to a wedding feast,” he said, “don’t rush to take the best room or seat.” You may have to move to a less critical room or seat for someone more
