Hi, my name is Johnny Artivannis, and this is Dialin. In our previous episode, we saw that Jesus

calls and we saw that the disciples that Jesus calls are not the most educated, nor the most

there for the

first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine, but you have kept the good wine
