The crowds continue to seek after Jesus as His miraculous healings and exorcisms gain notoriety across the land. It\u2019s clear that His power and authority over nature, over sickness, and over demons are a surprising and puzzling sight for those encounter these miracles. They incite fear in those who understand the gravity of His power and they spark hope in those who see His compassion. His teaching comes across as strange, yet authoritative, and His wisdom is unparalleled. The religious leaders grow increasingly angry with Jesus, as he continues to rebuke them openly. Jesus directed his ministry and teachings to the Jews first, then the Gentiles, but when a Gentile mother displays both faith and humility, Jesus commends her and heals her daughter.
