THE APOSTLES CHOSEN

As soon as he returned victorious from the temptation in the wilderness, Jesus entered on the work of his public ministry.  We find him, at once, preaching to the people, healing the sick, and doing many wonderful works.  The commencement of his ministry is thus described by St. Matt. iv:  23-25.  “And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness, and all manner of disease among the people.  And his fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.  And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond Jordan.”  What a blessed beginning of the most blessed of all ministries this was!  He came to bless our world.  He did bless it, as no one else could have done.  And here, we see, how he entered on his work.
