Genesis 42:1-34, 38 - I realize that we're picking up Joseph's story near the end. It may be worth your time this week to skim over the previous chapters and cover how Joseph ended up in Egypt in the first place. In this section we see Joseph's first encounter with his brothers since their betrayal of him. In what ways does Joseph mistreat them? In what ways does he show them kindness? In verse 28, the brothers realize that they have their money back after receiving the grain. Why are they troubled by this?
Mark 12:1-12 - Jesus appears to be speaking this parable against the religious leaders. How does this parable fit with Jesus' story? In what ways are we tempted to "kill the son" and claim the inheritance?
