When Christ found the people falling away from him and the religious leaders plotting against his life, he felt the need to concentrate more and more on the chosen Twelve, who were to be his representatives. Today's broadcast shows how he drew apart from the crowds that still flocked to hear him, so as to find privacy and leisure to train his twelve apostles, and how he gave them special power and authority to take his message to the whole world.
