One). Crowd's reaction to Jesus (20)
※ Jesus did not invite the crowds. But the crowds gathered. We are?
※ There was no time to eat because there were so many people. But he served them without returning them.
2). Relatives' reaction to Jesus (21)
① I think Jesus is crazy because of the crowd's enthusiasm and their reaction and respect.

② Religious people deliberately refuted Jesus' claim that he was the Messiah and the Son of God.

3. The 4 Disputes of Jesus. (24-30)
※ Jesus said ① Internal strife is always divided and destroyed (24-26). ② The kingdom of Satan is plundered (27). ③ God's love has no limits (28). ④ Thinking of God’s work as Satan’s work is dangerous that cannot be forgiven.
