What happens:
- Jesus collects followers
- Jesus heals a man with a skin condition
- Jesus heals a paralyzed man
- Levi, a tax collector, follows Jesus
- Jesus answers questions about his followers fasting (parable of the old and new coat, and the old and new wine skins)
Reflection:
Simon listens to Jesus even though it doesn't seem likely that they'll catch fish, keep in mind that God often asks us to do strange things. Just believe and trust him. Chances are if it doesn't work out it wasn't from God. And God will never ask us to do something that isn't biblical.
The friends of the paralyzed man didn't give up because they knew Jesus could help their friend. If you have a friend that needs Jesus in their life don't give up on them. Look for a door in the roof, be persistent, think outside the box, and live your faith in front of them.
