At the beginning of our reading Jesus is giving a sermon in the church. The people there get very angry with him and run him off. The way the people viewed him was as Joseph's son. They did not see him as the Savior of the world. Jesus even says that no prophet is accepted by his own people. This is because when you know someone well it makes it hard to believe they are anything, but a normal person.
Next Jesus goes out and heals and gets disciples. He tells these men that they will be fishers of men. They will not literally catch men, but they will be missionaries and disciples of Jesus to lead men to the path of truth and righteousness. Jesus gives many parables along the way as well.
At the end a women who has sinned greatly washes Jesus's feet. Jesus forgives this woman her sins. This can be interpreted to mean that if we are willing to humble ourselves and do service for Jesus that we too may be forgiven of our sins.
