Jesus had both his public ministry to the multitudes and his personal discipleship of his own disciples. His public teaching ministry looked much like Marge's teaching method (the history teacher in the video above) and his day-to-day discipleship looked more like Tom's (the guitar tutor from the same video).

Yet neither of these approaches is an accurate reflection of the early church. More here: [ Ссылка ]
