Notes

  • Go tell that fox: In the first century AD, Jews saw foxes as harmful and animals that had no worth.

  • driving out demons and healing people: These actions showed that the kingdom of God was already present. His resurrection on the third day would later show that he truly brought in God’s kingdom.
