About this listen

In Genesis 32-33, Jacob prepares nervously to meet his brother Esau after many years apart. The night before their meeting, Jacob encounters a mysterious figure and wrestles with him until daybreak. This struggle changes Jacob profoundly, earning him the name Israel, but raises the question: Who was this enigmatic opponent, and why did this encounter leave such a lasting impact on Jacob?

In Matthew 12:22-45, Jesus performs a miraculous healing of a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, astonishing the crowd. The Pharisees, however, accuse Jesus of casting out demons by the power of Beelzebul, leading to a profound discourse by Jesus about a kingdom divided against itself. This confrontation raises the suspenseful question: Will the people recognize Jesus as the Messiah, or will they be swayed by the Pharisees' accusations?
