Jesus first reason was for self-evaluation. He wanted them to see if their natural abilities worked for them. He also wanted to see if they would recall and implement what he had been trying to teach them all along. To change an environment through a word of faith and make it suitable where as it may not have been. Jesus was always teaching the word and often demonstrated lessons. Jesus’ proclamation always was; I did not come to institute a religion but establish a Kingdom.
