                                Jesus’ Testimony to John 

 A Reading from the Gospel of Matthew                                                                                                11:2-11
When John the Baptist heard in prison of the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples to Jesus with this question, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?” Jesus said to them in reply, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them. And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me.” As they were going off, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, “What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind? Then what did you go out to see? Someone dressed in fine clothing? Those who wear fine clothing are in royal palaces. Then why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is the one about whom it is written: Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way  before you. Amen, I say to you, among those born of women there has been none greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.”

1. Be on time. That includes participation in our daily community morning prayers. Credit will be given to those who are present during the assembly. Do not enter the classroom without permission from your teacher.

 

2. Do first things first. Unpack your book bags quietly. Organize your books/materials you need for the day. Come ready and prepared.

 

3. Attend to personal needs before coming to class. I have been instructed not to give passes to bathrooms and to limit passes, so please do not ask for a pass unless you have a true emergency.

 
 

4. Remain in your assigned seat unless you have permission to get up. Throw scraps away at the end of the period on your way out or during breaks.

 

5. Do not eat candy or other food in class unless you have been given special permission. School sponsored sales will be permitted during the last 5 minutes of class if we are finished with the lesson and permission is granted. Be sure to ask first. Clean after yourself.

 
 

6. Bring required materials every day unless you are otherwise directed.

 

7. Talk only when permitted. Be aware of the situation since quiet talking is allowed in some situations and speaking to the entire group without raising your hand may be allowed in others. I will remind you once and expect compliance.

 
 

8.  Be respectful at all times. Use polite speech and body language. Unkind teasing and impolite behavior is unacceptable.

 

9. Do not cheat. Students caught cheating will receive a zero and a phone call home. Both the student who shares his work for an independent assignment AND the person who copies it will suffer the same consequences. I expect you to do your own work and to be sure no one can copy it.

 

10. Follow the teacher's directions immediately. Keep me happy and I'll do a better job

for you!
