What is being described? Who are the characters and what are they saying or doing? Does the text tell us why they are doing or saying these things?
Read the passage again.
Reflect | Consider how this text exemplifies the spiritual discipline described in this lesson.
What can we learn about Jesus from this text? Are any instructions given? Does this text bring to mind other passages of Scripture?
Read the passage one last time.

What can you learn about how to follow Jesus from this text? How might this text change the way you practice spiritual disciplines? How can you act on what you’ve learned?
