  10. Sow, Jesus seeds a parable and a pun, and lettuce understand. But when the corn grows, what ears hear and what ears don't?
  11. Jesus sends out His Twelve Sent-Ones on their first mission. Why does He give them the instructions that He gives . . . and what's up with the staff?
  12. "Your faith has made you well" . . . except faith never believes in itself, but trusts only in its object, namely Jesus.
