Gospel Chaos

This activity is like the one you experienced in the intergenerational session on Divine Revelation. See the chart below. Read aloud to each other the Gospel stories listed in the left hand column of the chart. Fill in responses to the three questions. Use the items in the following list to answer the three questions in the top row of the chart.

  • A leper
  • Scribes question Jesus’ authority
  • Peter, James, John
  • Jesus becomes known in every town
  • Left their boats, nets, and father behind
  • A paralytic, a large crowd, the Scribes
  • Voice from heaven, “This is my beloved son.”
  • They ponder the meaning of resurrection
  • Simon, Andrew, James
  • Baptizes Jesus
  • Terrified. Don’t know what to say.
  • Goes and tells everyone about his healing
  • Jesus heals the paralytic
  • John the Baptist
  • Became Jesus’ disciples
