Giving to the Poor: In Matthew 6:1-4, Jesus assumes that they would give to the needy. It was His expectation that any disciple of His would be concerned and engaged in giving to the poor and needy.
Praying: In Matthew 6:5-14, Jesus assumes that they would pray. It was His expectation that any disciple of His would be concerned and engaged in staying closely connected to God the Father by prayer.
Fasting: In Matthew 6:16-18, Jesus assumes that they would fast. It was His expectation that any disciple of His would be concerned and engaged in some form of fasting.
So, Jesus assumed His first disciples would give, pray, and fast.
