A wild man in the desert wearing camel hair, eating locusts, screaming 'repent.' He's preparing the way for someone bigger.
John Declares 'The Lamb of God'

Jesus Flips Tables in the Temple
Jesus walks into the temple, sees it turned into a marketplace, and starts flipping tables. Nobody stops him.
The Sabbath Showdowns

John the Baptist Beheaded
A birthday party, a dance, and a horrifying request. The greatest prophet loses his head because of a grudge.
John the Baptist's Last Words
As his own following shrinks, John says 'He must increase, I must decrease.' A prophet who knew his role.

A Syrophoenician woman begs Jesus to heal her daughter. He tests her. She fires back with one of the best comebacks in the Bible.

The Transfiguration
Jesus takes three disciples up a mountain. His face blazes like the sun. Moses and Elijah appear. Peter wants to build tents.
Jesus Predicts His Death
Jesus tells the disciples exactly what's coming — betrayal, death, resurrection. They don't understand. He says it three times.
The Cursed Fig Tree & Temple Fury
Jesus curses a fruitless fig tree and clears the temple of merchants. Both acts say the same thing: bear fruit or be cut off.
Mary & Martha

Sending Out 72 Missionaries
