scroll and sat down. Every one looked up
in astonishment and in silence. Jesus then said, " I
am the Messiah of
whom the prophet speaks. I am come for
the very purpose to set men free from the
power of Satan and from habits of sin. I
am come to bring light to the minds of
men, by teaching them about God. I am

He lived on earth. One day a man
came to Him, and said that he would go
with Jesus wherever He went.
Jesus said, " I have no home for you to
come to. The foxes have their holes to
live in, the birds are warm in their little
nests, but I have no place to call my own,
where I can lay my head. "

About this time He most likely lived in
Peter's house at Capernaum, by the lake of
Gennesaret.
He would often go into the ships of His
