Movement 09 Helping a Friend, Threatening the Status Quo |
| Jesus' friend Lazarus is sick. His sisters appeal for help. The disciples remember the hostile crowds of Jerusalem just over the hill from Bethany. Resolute, Jesus returns and helps his friend. Then he and his twelve closest followers retreat to the wilderness valleys north of Jerusalem where they remain out of sight until the time for the Spring Feast of Passover. |
