The Gospel narrates Jesus calling disciples to join him in a new mission. Despite successes and failures, including betrayals and denials, Jesus consistently trusts and gently guides them. The disciples experience both joy and disappointment in their journey, yet Jesus doesn’t replace them. Instead, he believes in their potential for growth and contribution to his Kingdom.
