Luke 10:38-42
Who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to what he was saying. Mary sat listening to the lord while Martha (mary’s sister) did work. Martha wanted mary’s help to do the jobs but she was listening to Jesus. Martha asked Jesus for his help to tell Mary to help her do her work but Jesus tells her that Mary chose the best choice, to listen to Jesus.
Mary was listening to Jesus but Martha was too distracted to listen. Martha wanted God to fix her problems but Mary would sit and listen to God rather than help Martha.
Mary chose to listen and learn to Jesus rather than Martha was distracted and did not want to listen to Jesus.
Mary listened to Jesus to what he had to say rather than help Martha. I think Mary is going to do nothing to help and listen to God.
Summary: John 11:5-6 Lazarus grows ill and Jesus stays with him for 2 days while Mary and Martha leave.
Landan- Jesus loved them all and felt the need to stay longer for Lazarus because he was sick.
Jesus loved all three of them and felt the need to stay with Lazarus because he was very ill and the other two were not so he left them to stay with him. He stayed two days longer so he was there for Lazarus.
Jesus’s attitude towards Martha, May, and Lazarus is that he loved them all and he even stayed two days because he was ill and didn’t want him to be alone.
Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus and when he found out that Lazarus was ill he stayed for 2 days because he didn’t want to be left alone. /
Summary- John 11:20-22
Martha went to see Jesus and Mary stayed home. Martha was then upset with Jesus because Lazarus had died.
Martha blames God for Lazarus dying. I don’t think that Martha has a good relationship with God or she wouldn’t blame him.
Martha’s faith is not based on logic was based on just her opinion, it would not make sense if someone is not there and someone dies that the person who is not there it’s their fault.
Martha’s faith was based on that she had lost trust in God and she blames him for letting Lazarus for dying. I think she had a good relationship with him until he died and then now she doesn’t have a good relationship because of blaming him for letting Lazarus die.
Martha’s faith in the lord is based on her relationship with Jesus because she believes that if it was with her brother he wouldn’t have died and she had faith that if he stayed he wouldn’t have died. Lazarus dies and Martha believes if Jesus stayed he would still be alive. Summary: It is just like what path you want to take when you are older the good one or the bad one

Summary: The reading is taken from the well-known story of
Matthew 14:24-33
What does Peter do when he sees Jesus?
Jesus appeared to the disciples and said, “Take heart, it is I, do not be afraid” Peter then answered Jesus and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water”. Peter did not react the same way as the other disciples that saw and feared Jesus. Instead, Peter answered Jesus’ question and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” Jesus then said, “Come.” As Peter got out of the boat, he then started walking on the water and came towards Jesus. While Peter was walking towards Jesus, Peter noticed a strong wind, and began to sink he then cried out to Jesus, “Lord save me!” Jesus then immediately reached out his hand and caught him. Jesus then said “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”. When Peter sees Jesus he answers and follows him out onto the water.

What does Peter suggest in this passage?

Peter suggests that these mountains are a great place because the sun lights up Jesus’ face like lanterns, and Jesus talks to them shortly after his clothes became dazzling white.
John 13:3-10
What does Jesus do? How does Peter respond?
This passage is from the time around Jesus’ Passion. Holy Thursday; when Jesus and His disciples are having the Last Supper in the upper room. Jesus presents himself to his disciples as a servant and washes their feet in a basin. When Jesus offers to clean him, Peter responds in a stubborn manner, stating that unless Peter washes Jesus’ feet, Jesus can have no share with him. Simon Peter continues to say that if Jesus is to clean His disciples, He should not only wash his feet but also his hands and his head.
Based on these passages, which of the intelligence does Peter often use to understand and respond to Jesus?
Based on these passages, I can infer that Peter responds to Jesus with interpersonal intelligence. Interpersonal intelligence is knowledge derived from social interaction with other people. In the first passage, Peter displays great humility, but Jesus forgave Peter and offered to teach Peter of his great forgiveness. This tells us that Peter knows Jesus would have some form of response to his actions, thus further confirming his knowledge of interpersonal intelligence. Passage two further develops Peter’s responses to Jesus. We read of Peter’s response to Jesus’ pleas for him to come out onto the water with him. Peter comes as Jesus commands him. In passage three, Peter recognizes the presence of others and offers to make dwellings for them. Passage four shows another act of Peter’s humility, telling Jesus that his feet, hands, and head all need to be washed to really be clean.
Section G
Romans 7:14-23
The Inner Conflict
For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am of the flesh, sold into slavery under sin. I do not understand my own actions. I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good. But in fact, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me.
So I find it to be a law that when I want to do what is good, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God in my innermost self, but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind, making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.
Who does Paul talk about as he tries to explain law and grace?

The passage talks about how Paul is admitting that he has sinned and that he does not do what he wants to do but what he hates.
1 Corinthians 2:1-5
Proclaiming Christ Crucified
When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come proclaiming the mystery of God to you in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I came to you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. My speech and my proclamation were not with plausible words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God.
What does Paul say helped reveal the power of the spirit?
Paul reveals the power of the spirit by saying he chose not to know nothing among him except for Jesus Christ and him being crucified. He came to the spirit and said this he was in fear.
He also asked for his help in what to do.
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
even considering the exceptional character of the revelations. Therefore, to keep me from being too elated, a thorn was given to me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I appealed to the Lord about this, that it would leave me, but he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.“ So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities for the sake of Christ; for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.
Paul understands that in his grace the law that God has given him is visible.
Which of the intelligence is Paul using in these passages to help people understand God?
Paul used fear as his intelligence to face the fears of the spirit.
