Matt 3, Mark 1, Luke 3

Jesus is all grown up. John baptizes him and the heavens open up and proclaim that He is indeed the Son of God.
Jesus gathers up a few fishermen and promises that if they leave their nets, they shall be fishers of men.
We also see Jesus cure a leper and a fever. He asks that the cured leper (not to be confused with cured ham) speak nothing of it, but he doesn't listen. Now Jesus has the leper poparazii to deal with.
There is also, at the end of Luke 3, a blood line from Jesus back to Adam.

I really like this translation really(quickly) pushing and explaining what it means to repent...not just asking for forgiveness of sins, but actual regret for those sins, AND a sincere attempt/committment to change in the future.

I like John's humbleness.

Jesus had brothers....now, how great for their descendants to know their geneaology all the way back to the beginning of mankind. I wonder if there is anyone in Israel (or elsewere) now that can trace their line back to one of Jesus' brothers. That would be the coolest. I digress.

Tomorrow is Matt. 4, Luke 4-5, and John 1:15-51
