Num 17-18 Ps 29 Mk 4

Grumbling and misunderstanding of the 10 spies are dealt with by the Lord and Jesus spoke to his 12 by explaining the parables to them however it wasn’t until Pentecost that they fully “got it “. God makes it clear who was in charge by budding Aaron's Rod and Christ demonstrates his authority by calming the storm. Both groups of 12 were frightened by these real displays of authority thus we must be careful never to offend the sanctuary of God by a grumbling, bad attitude.
