Jesus called his cowboys over to him and said, "I feel sorry for all these people. They have been here with us for three days and some of 'em haven't had anything to eat. If some of 'em leave, they might pass out before they get home."

His cowboys said, "Man, this place is like a barren desert. We could butcher one hundred cows and not have enough food for all these people."

he took the seven biscuits and the can of sardines and gave thanks for them. He then broke them and handed 'em to his cowboys so they could pass 'em out to everybody.

When Jesus and his crew were near the town of Caesarea Philippi, he asked them, "So what do people say about the Son of the Boss?"

The cowboys realized Jesus was talkin' about his buddy John the Baptist.

When all his cowboys had gathered with him near Galilee, he told 'em, "I'm gonna be double-crossed.

When Jesus and his boys rode into Capernaum, a tax collector pulled Pete aside and asked if Jesus paid the church tax.

"Of course he does!" Pete boasted.When Pete caught up with the others, Jesus asked him, "Pete, do you think the governor of this territory or his family pays taxes for his salary or does he just make other people pay them?"

"He don't pay taxes to himself. He just makes others pay them," Pete replied. "Then his sons don't have to pay the taxes either," Jesus said.

"The Boss's place is like a rancher who had loaned money to some of his cowboys.

The cowboy wasn't able to pay the money so the rancher told his foreman to go and get every horse the cowboy owned, his horse trailer, his saddle, and his truck and sell all of them so he could get his money back.
