Earthquakes, famines, diseases, and the rise of Islamic terrorism were recorded as our future history a long time ago. This is the time that Jesus referred to as the "beginning of sorrows," (Matthew 24:8 KJV). It is a future history that was spelled out before any of us were ever born.

This passage is an interesting one in terms of its reading. Not only does each passage have its own meaning and information, we have two Luke passages in a single read, each one having its own wording which I will go into later. First passage we have Matthew who starts the passage off with Jesus going through all the cities and villages teaching in

Laramie, WY, is a trivial town that became infamous within a few hours in the fall of 1998, when Matthew Shepard, a homosexual college scholar, was spotted tied to a fence after being ferociously whipped and left to die, prompting a countrywide debate about crime, hate, and homophobia. 30 days after the incident, Moses Kaufman, a director and writer with the New York City theater group the Tectonic Theater Project, shifted to Laramie to prepare for an upcoming production.

4. Commentary. 8:27.While Mark has been clearly focusing on Jesus’ ministry in Galilee where his authority was exhibited in his teaching and the miraculous, he now transits by altering his scene of action from Galilee to the ‘the way’ to Jerusalem via Caesarea Philippi. The construction ‘Jesus and his disciples’ is not frequently employed by the author especially when reporting on Jesus’ journeying episodes.
