7. What is the spiritual meaning of the statement, "To everyone who has shall be given more, but from him who has not, even that which he has shall be taken away from him.?"
8. What is the author's purpose in relating the outstanding service of David Zebedee?
9. Can one follow the will of God while living in an unbelieving family?
10. Why do you think Jesus did not confront the apostles who were carrying swords?
11. Is it surprising that Jesus singled out Zaccheus, the chief tax collector, to say at his house?
