Pages 132-135 (plus top paragraph of 136)
Notes (additional):
1. Repent: Metanoia (meta + nous = change of mind) needs to be on an ontological level
2. Kingdom: Basileia (Greek word for kingdom) has direct relation to a key building in Old Town Alexandria, because the ancient basilica style of architecture came from government / royal buildings -- not religious worship sites such as Jewish or pagan temples
3. A fourth key group in Judea not mentioned on p135 is the Essenes from Qumran. Scholars point to St. John the Baptist and St. Mark as key (former?) Essenes who shape the ministry of Jesus.
