In 593BC Ezekiel, born into a Judean priestly family and taken into Babylonian exile, is 30 years old when he sees a vision of God. The Lord calls Ezekiel to deliver his condemnation to the stubborn and rebellious Israelites, even though they may not listen to the words of the prophet. 2 Corinthians 12:2-10 Paul will not boast of his own achievements, but mentions visions and revelations from the Lord – one of “a man caught up in Paradise, hearing things he cannot tell”. He admits to a personal weakness “a thorn in my flesh”, endured because it enables him to experience the grace and power of Christ. Mark 6:1-13 After crossing back into Galilee, Jesus preaches at the Synagogue in his home town of Nazareth. But his teaching is not accepted, for the people know him merely as the carpenter-son of a local family, and have no faith in him. Later he sends the twelve disciples out in pairs, to preach repentance and to heal the sick. They are told to travel light and depend on God.
