Exegesis

• It is interesting to see that the disciples were gathered together in mighty prayer and fasting. It appears as though they were beginning to catch on to the fact that disputations are bad and that unity and prayer are good. Christ mentions several times previously about how there were dissentions among them about how to do things and He told them that contentions were of the devil. I think this teaches a good lesson for marriage or other sorts of relationships--that we should unite in prayer and fasting rather than allow disputations seperate us.

• Fascinating that the disciples had such limited awareness that when Christ asks, "What will ye that I shall give unto you?" (ie. What do you desire that I should give you?), instead of saying, "Give us power to rend mountains," or "Give us Eternal Life," they ask, "What do you want us to call your church?". Talk about blowing an opportunity!

• Also, it's interesting how, in answer to their question of what to call the church, Christ launches in to a lengthy and (see chiastically organized discourse which extends way beyond the scope of their question.
