Jesus and his disciples are in Caesarea Philippi when this conversation happens.  This town was also known by the name Banias and it is here, at the foot of Mount Herman is the beginning of the Jordan River.  In Jesus’ day, this place was VERY religious, but not in the way you would like or approve. 

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!  And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.
