To fully rely on God

To fully rely on God and those who live by His Word. Equipped only with the bare essentials -even less than that ''take no...'' - they have to trust on people`s charity that charity that they are teaching them. They are equipped with that same power Jesus received from the Father. Also they must not insist in spreading the Good News. If welcome fine if not no forcing but move on to other potential grounds. Without feeling any bad feelings -shake off the dust off their feet.And have to do so in a visible way so that people know where other members of the Family are. Visible but not hostile.

Diffcult to answer

Jesus is welcome they press him and the man begs to be helped. Despereate to receive healing. Like the woman and many others. They touch the cloak and his hand and his firts reaction seems to be negative almost angry - - the power has gone - and in fact the disciples deny immediately being them.Then the woman admits that it was her. So it seems he was pretending putting to test the real faith and their willingness to ask for forgiveness. ``I shouldn`t have done it but my faith was sos trong and the need so desperate that I couldn`t resist``. Also Christ power comes from God the unction annd is not a magical type of power Superman like. Nothing can diminish it. He is the all powerful God in a human frame. Otherwise he would have lived in a shrine from when he was born. The fact that she is healed immediately seems yto confirm this idea. It`s also striking that he says` cheer up`` . Don`t know the original but Jesus consoles her in a very warm informal familiar way. The way she treats her showing it to everyone else presnt or who hears about it. Straight after he responds imediately to the man who has just being discouraged by somebody whose faith is not strong enough. Only believe. Also he wants nobody with him apart from the parents. He still wants to maintain some secrecy about hois real power. Not even the disciples are allowed in.He gives help immediately but wants secrecy.

Great calmness

Not put off by their being afraid he walks away without condemning or rebuking but invites the one who believed from having experienced the healing on his own skin to tell everyone. No rejection so maybe he was leaving the gate open. In time and thanks to testimonies they will believe? what do you think?
