Questions to Ponder in C-Group:
1. What resonates with you, draws your attention, or surprises you?
2. What did the disciples that left Jesus conclude by his words? What
would you have concluded?
3. Jesus was obviously making a reference to what we now call
communion... why do you think the idea of communion was/is confusing?
4. In what ways do you distinguish between faith and patience for the
disciples that continued following Jesus?
Personal Reflection Questions:
1. Read the passage and write down what your response would be to
Jesus' words at the moment he spoke them... in other words what would
your response have been if you were standing in the sandals of the
disciples?
2. How is your understanding of communion changed or clarified through
this passage of scripture?
3. If those disciples that left Jesus had stayed, responding the way
Simon Peter did, what would they have learned about community?
