And he arose, and followed him. {10} And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples."
Matthew 10:3 "Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;"

A) JESUS GENEALOGY {MATTHEW 1:1-17}
JESUS GENEALOGY: {1:1-17, 2:1-23} Another genealogy found in {Luke 3:23-38}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISC: JESUS GENEALOGY {MATTHEW 1:1 – 1:17}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. {2} Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; {Matthew 1:1-2}
(2) And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; {Matthew 1:6}
(3) And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. {Matthew 1:16}
(4) So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. {Matthew 1:17}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ: This is written to the Jews who have Abraham as their father and David as the king from Judas tribe family. The genealogy is through the line of Joseph. After Joseph marriage to Mary, Jesus becomes his earthly father which makes Jesus come from Judas/David family tribe. Mary also was from the Judas/David family tribe. Luke 3:23-38 has Jesus genealogy from Adam, and it is through the line of Mary His earthly birth mother.

David the king:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KEYWORD: KING {MATTHEW 1:6 – 27:42}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
() And
Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her
that had been the wife of Urias; {Matthew 1:6}
() Now
when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the
king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
{Matthew 2:1}
() Saying,
Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star
in the east, and are come to worship him. {Matthew 2:2}
() When
Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and
all Jerusalem with him. {Matthew 2:3}
() When
they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they
saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where
the young child was. {Matthew 2:9}
() Nor by
the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is
the city of the great King. {Matthew 5:35}
() And ye
shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a
testimony against them and the Gentiles. {Matthew 10:18}
() But
what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold,
they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. {Matthew
11:8}
() And the
king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat
with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
{Matthew 14:9}
() He
saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him,
saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth
take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
{Matthew 17:25}
()
Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which
would take account of his servants. {Matthew 18:23}
() Tell ye
the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and
sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. {Matthew 21:5}
() The
kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage
for his son, {Matthew 22:2}
() But
when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth
his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
{Matthew 22:7}
() And
when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had
not on a wedding garment: {Matthew 22:11}
() Then
said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him
away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth. {Matthew 22:13}
() Then
shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of
my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation
of the world: {Matthew 25:34}
() And the
King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch
as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto me. {Matthew 25:40}
() And
Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying,
Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
{Matthew 27:11}
() And
when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his
head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before
him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! {Matthew 27:29}
() And set
up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF
THE JEWS. {Matthew 27:37}
() He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. {Matthew 27:42}

(1) But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. {Matthew 4:4}
(2) The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. {9} For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.{10} When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. {Matthew 8:8-10}
(3) When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: {17} That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. {Matthew 8:16-17}
(4) When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. {20} But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; {21} Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. {22} He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. {23} But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. {Matthew 13:19-23}
(5) But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. {24} But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. {25} Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. {Matthew 15:23-25

angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his
works. {Matthew 16:27}

have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man
shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon
twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
{Matthew 19:28}
(7) And
then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and
then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see
the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great
glory. {Matthew 24:30}
(8) When
the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy
angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his
glory: {Matthew 25:31}

BEATITUDES: 5:3 - 5:12 Beatitude means happy. The first four Beatitudes deal with inner life & the remainder deal with outer life or relations with others. A reward is provided with each.
Poor in spirit: The goal is Christ. When the Christian examines himself he see no righteousness of his own. He is poor, but rich. He is rich because God called and elected him into His kingdom.
Meek: Meek, not weak, before God knowing his spiritual limitations.
Moses was the meekest man, but he was a strong leader as he let God defend him.
Inherit the earth: The Christian will live on a new earth forever.

Great is your reward in heaven: The Matthew Sermon on the Mount only has blessings whereas the Luke version of the sermon includes woes.
Seeking wealth, self satisfaction, or prideful reputation are of the flesh.
b) KINGDOM PRINCIPLES: {MATTHEW 5:13-48}
MOSES {5:17-20}, MURDER {5:21-22}, RECONCILIATION {5:23-26}, ADULTRY {5:27-30}, DIVORCE {5:31-32}, OATHS {5:33-37}, NONRESISTANCE {5:38-42}, LOVE {5:43-48}
JESUS PARABLES: Similitude: illustration {Matthew 13:3}, comparison {Mark 4:30}, proverb {Luke 4:23}, figure {Hebrews 9:9}, shadow & example (Hebrews 8:5}.
{Matthew 13:34-35} "All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: {35} That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world."
SALT: {5:13} Also found in {Mark 9:49-50} & {Luke 14:34-35}

JESUS PARABLES: Similitude: illustration {Matthew 13:3}, comparison {Mark 4:30}, proverb {Luke 4:23}, figure {Hebrews 9:9}, shadow & example (Hebrews 8:5}.
{Matthew 13:34-35} "All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: {35} That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world."
LIGHTED CANDLE: {5:14-16} Also found in {Mark 4:21-25} & {Luke 11:33-36}
Christian Light shine: God should receive all the glory for the Christians deeds which are the evidences of their salvation. The people around should see Christ in our life. Jesus is the light of the world (John 8:12). Light (Jesus) guides us on the correct path.
KINGDOM PRINCIPLES: 5:17 - 5:48 These principles are taking Old Testament laws and showing a deeper meaning which is God's principle.
Think not I am come to destroy the law, but to fulfill: Jesus is the only man who did everything perfectly under the law. He fulfilled all the requirements of God's eternal & perfect law. We can not keep the law perfectly, but we can receive from Jesus of His accomplishments through our faith. Jesus showed, in the sermon, that the law must be fulfilled in the Christian's heart.
Love fulfills law
The law was removed for Christians.
See my paper: "Questions & Answers on Law, Faith & Liberty" THE PURPOSE OF LAW, FAITH BEFORE THE LAW, FAITH IS GOD'S PLAN & LIBERTY FROM THE LAW. for more information on this subject.
Christians are not under law but principles shown in scriptures:
This is an inner attitude of the heart as compared with outward conformity. The Christian has no rules or laws. He has Biblical principles. He is not to break the law, since God's law is perfect for all times.
Law shows our sins.
Faith in Jesus completed work.
We appropriate Jesus righteousness.
Jesus is that promise seed.
Now the Christian has faith and does not need law.
The Christian has liberty, but it's not to justify sin. See Galatians 5:13.
Anyone under law must do them all.
We are under the principle of law and of love.
See my paper: "What Does God Really Want?" WHAT LAWS OF GOD ARE CHRISTIANS TO FOLLOW. SHOWN ARE STEPS TO RECEIVE GOD FORGIVENESS for more information on this subject.

MISC: LAW & PROPHETS {MATTHEW 5:17 - 23:23}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil{Matthew 5:17}
(2) Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled {Matthew 5:18}
(3) All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets {Matthew 7:12}
(4) For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John {Matthew 11:13}
(5) On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets {Matthew 22:40}
(6) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone {Matthew 23:23}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One jot or one tittle: These are some of the smallest Hebrew letters indicating smallest laws.
Break least commandment or teach men so, called least in kingdom:
Through Jesus we exceed the righteousness of everyone allowing us entance into God’s kingdom of heaven.
Your righteousness exceeds scribe and Pharisees, not enter kingdom:
See my paper: "Israel & Jewish People in God's Plan" JESUS JEWISHNESS, ISRAEL, JERUSALEM, & JEWS IN GOD'S PLAN; JEWS & GENTILE SALVATION for more information on this subject.
See my paper: "Christians Are Not Under Law, But Jews Can Culturally Keep God's Commandments" COMMANDMENTS WERE GIVEN TO JEWS NOT GENTILES; CHRISTIANS ARE NOT UNDER LAW; BUT JEWISH BELIEVERS MAY CONTINUE KEEPING LAW NOT FOR SALVATION for more information on this subject.
PRINCIPLES OF ANGER: 5:21 - 5:22 Jesus first brings in the Old Testament law or sayings and then enlarges it to what God meant as the principle (here, self control) the Christian is to live by.
Shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees: This means the appearance should be greater thaan any religious person.

Thou shalt not kill .. danger of the judgment: This is for harming a person in anyway by word, thought, or deed.
God's 5th commandment to Moses
See my paper: "Judgments of Believer & Unbeliever" PRESENTED ARE SEVERAL JUDGMENTS FOR THE SAVED AND UN-SAVED for more information on this subject.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KEYWORD: JUDGMENT {MATTHEW 5:21 - 27:19}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: {Matthew 5:21}
(2) But I
say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without
a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever
shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of
the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool,
shall be in danger of hell fire. {Matthew 5:22}
(3) For
with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with
what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
{Matthew 7:2}
(4) Verily
I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of
Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
{Matthew 10:15}
(5) But I
say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at
the day of judgment, than for you. {Matthew 11:22}
(6) But I
say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of
Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee. {Matthew
11:24}
(7) Behold
my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in
whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him,
and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. {Matthew 12:18}
(8) A
bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not
quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. {Matthew
12:20}
(9) But
I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
{Matthew 12:36}
(10) The
men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and
shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of
Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is
here. {Matthew 12:41}
(11) The
queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the
uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and,
behold, a greater than Solomon is
here. {Matthew 12:42}
(12) Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted
the weightier matters of the law, judgment,
mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done,
and not to leave the other undone. {Matthew 23:23}
(13) When
he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him,
saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for
I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
{Matthew 27:19}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raca means empty head or idiot. Fool means worthless.
Whosoever is angry with his brother...in danger of the judgment: Jesus takes the law & changes it from a letter to a heart attitude.
PRINCIPLES OF RECONCILING: 5:23 - 5:26 Principle: right relations.
Reconcile to thy brother, then offer thy gift: First make your relationship with your brother correct by apologizing & forgiving.
Correct relationships.
This looks beyond person to God who can punish.
PRINCIPLES OF PURITY: 5:27 -5:30 Principle: Respect & chaste
Ye have heard, of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
6th Commandment
Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart: The principle is that the Christian should have inward purity. A non-Christian, if he thought he would not be punished, he would do the act. Therefore, he is guilty in his heart.
If thy right eye offends thee, pluck it out, profitable one member perish, thy whole body be cast into hell: Shown is the importance of salvation over your eye of hand. The Lord is not recommending removing the members of your body, but putting God first.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISC: SINS SEVERTY {MATTHEW 5:29 – 5:30}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. {30} And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. {Matthew 5:29-30}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRINCIPLES OF FAITHFUL: 5:31 - 5:32 Principle: marriage is sacred.
Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: Put away means to divorce them.
See my paper: "Marriage, Divorce, & Remarriage" PRESENTED IS MOST SCRIPTURES FOR WHEN TWO ARE MARRIED & GOD'S PERMITTING DIVORCES for more information on this subject.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISC: MARRIAGE & DIVORCE {MATTHEW 5:31 – 19:12}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: {32} But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. {Matthew 5:31-32}
(2) The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? {4} And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, {5} And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? {6} Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. {7} They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? {8} He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. {9} And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. {10} His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. {11} But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. {12} For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. {Matthew 19:3-12}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whosoever put away his wife, give her a writing divorcement: An Old Testament rule. This is not God's perfect plan, but Moses allowed it because of the hardness of their heart.
The reason was uncleanness in her, Jesus used fornication.
That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery. Whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery:
Jesus allowed fornication as reason for divorce. However, Christians should not get divorced. This topic is very difficult to discuss in these few verses. Marriage is a spiritual commitment which last for as long as the two live. It may also start with the sexual union.
Relationship between wife and husband reach hate. If they do not forgive and love then the person can not be a Christian. Christians must forgive each other. See Prayer Matthew 6:12 (God forgives us as forgive others).
See my paper: "Man's Relationship With His Wife, Family & Friends" HOW TO IMPROVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS USING SCRIPTURES for more information on this subject.
PRINCIPLES OF TRUE TO WORD (VOW): 5:33 - 5:37 Principle: truthful
Shalt not swear thyself, perform thine oaths. Swear not at all: A Christian's word must be perfect. He must meet his commitments.
See my paper: "Walk as Jesus Walked" PRESENTED ARE THE WALKS OF THE CHRISTIAN DISCIPLE. for more information on this subject.
Swear not at all; let your communication be Yea, yea; Nay, nay: The same principles Jesus preached are found in the epistles.
God's word makes it clear by saying: above all things.
PRINCIPLES OF NON-RESISTANCE (EYE FOR AN EYE): 5:38 - 5:42 Principle: non-resistance or not to retaliate.
An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: Old Testament rules. Love your enemies is the New Testament principle to replace the old.
The law limited the punishment to fit the crime.
Let God handle the problem.
Whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn the other to: Not return evil for evil, but good for evil.
If any man will sue thee at the law, take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also: Do more. God will provide the replacements.
This is aimed at two Christians, but holds for sinner.
See my paper: "The Christian Position on Civil Authority & Nonresistance" CHRISTIANITY TEACH LOVE, NONRESISTANCE & OBEY AUTHORITY for more information on this subject.
Give, but use judgment. The person must have a genuine need. He should use his own faith.
Do not request return.
PRINCIPLES OF LOVE (LOVE ENEMIES): 5:43 - 5:47 Principle: Divine love to all people. Do good deeds to enemies.
Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy:
See my paper: "Love" DEFINITION OF LOVE; LOVE IN ACTION IS CHARITY; BIBLE LOVE CHAPTERS; EXAMPLES OF LOVE; LOVE COMMANDS for more information on this subject.

(2) And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. {Matthew 6:5}
(3) No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. {Matthew 6:24}
(4) Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. {Matthew 19:19}
(5) Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. {38} This is the first and great commandment. {39} And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. {40} On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. {Matthew 22:37-40}
(6) And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, {7} And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. {Matthew 23:6-7}
(7) And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. {12} And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. {13} But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. {Matthew 24:11-13}

What God does for us.
Bless them that curse you..persecute you: The same principles Jesus preached in the sermon are found also in the epistles.
Pray for them which despitefully use you:

KEYWORD: PRAYER {MATTHEW 5:44 – 26:54}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you {Matthew 5:44}
(2) And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. {6} But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. {7} But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. {8} Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. {9} After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. (Matthew 6:5-9)
(3) Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. {Matthew 9:38}
(4) And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. {Matthew 14:23}
(5) Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? {20} And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. {21} Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. {Matthew 17:19-21}
(6) Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. {14} But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. {Matthew 19:13-14}
(7) And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, {13} And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. {Matthew 21:12-13}
(8) Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. {22} And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. {Matthew 21:21-22}
(9) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. {Matthew 23:14}
(10) But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: {21} For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. {22} And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. {Matthew 24:20-22}
(11) Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. {37} And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. {38} Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. {39} And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. {40} And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? {41} Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. {42} He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. {43} And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. {44} And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. {Matthew 26:36-44
(12) Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? {54} But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? {Matthew 26:53-54}

God supplies blessings to both the believer (by grace) and unbeliever (by caring)
Sun to rise on evil & on the good, rain on just & on the unjust:
Love all people.
Christians love by God,s example
PRINCIPLE OF IMITATATION (REPRODUCTION): 5:48 Principle: = God
Be perfect as your Father is perfect: Absolute maturity is perfect.
The scriptures teach levels of perfection. Absolute is fullness.
The sanctified are perfected by Jesus.
See my paper: "Christian Growth" PRESENTED IS THE STEPS A CHRISTIAN COULD GO THROUGH ONTO PERFECTION. for more information on this subject.
See my paper: "Sanctify" SANCTIFICATION PROCESS: GOD PREDESTINES THE CHRISTIAN AS SON OF GOD, SANCTIFIES OR SETS HIM APART FOR HIS PURPOSE, BEING MADE HOLY, GOING ON TO THE PERFECTION, MADE IN THE IMAGE OF CHRIST, BECOMES GOD-LIKE, MADE IN THE DIVINE NATURE AS HE MATURES for more information on this subject.
Be merciful as your Father is merciful: Mercy is not getting punishment we deserve. Grace (getting what we do not deserve) is what God give us.
Merciful: for they shall obtain mercy: Whole parable in Matthew 18:23-35. The Lord showed him a great mercy & he showed no mercy. Likewise God forgave us of all our sins. We should forgive others.

Do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites..they have their reward:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KEYWORD: HYPOCRITES {MATTHEW 6:2 – 24:51}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
() Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. {Matthew 6:2}
() And
when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are:
for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners
of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you,
They have their reward. {Matthew 6:5}
()
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad
countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear
unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
{Matthew 6:16}
() Thou
hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then
shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
{Matthew 7:5}
() Ye
hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, {Matthew 15:7}
() And in
the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is
red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of
the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
{Matthew 16:3}
() But
Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye
hypocrites? {Matthew 22:18}
() But woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the
kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves,
neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. {Matthew 23:13}
() Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows'
houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall
receive the greater damnation. {Matthew 23:14}
() Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and
land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold
more the child of hell than yourselves. {Matthew 23:15}
() Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint
and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters
of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done,
and not to leave the other undone. {Matthew 23:23}
() Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the
outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of
extortion and excess. {Matthew 23:25}
() Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto
whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are
within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
{Matthew 23:27}
() Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the
tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
{Matthew 23:29}
()And
shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the
hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. {Matthew
24:51}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: Let your gifts be known only to God & He will reward you for them.
PRINCIPLES OF PRAYER: 6:5 - 6:8 Prayer is a conversation or communication (dialogue of 2 sides) of our heart with God. It should not be general but specific and its purpose is to get God's will done. The intent should not be aimed at changing God's mind or purpose. It should include repentance, praise, worship, thanksgiving, interceding and our requests (We have the petitions when we prayed in faith). Prayer should include praying in other tongues (Baptism of Holy Spirit: God's perfect prayer for each of us).
They are praying so others see and hear them.
When thou prayest:
See my paper: "Prayer" PRESENTS PRAYER STEPS. THE LORD'S PRAYER AND OTHER NEW TESTAMENT PRAYER EXAMPLES SHOWN. for more information on this subject.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISC: LORD’S PRAYER {MATTHEW 6:5 - 6:15}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. {Matthew 6:5}
(2) But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. {Matthew 6:6}
(3) But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. {Matthew 6:7}
(4) Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. {Matthew 6:8}
(5) After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. {Matthew 6:9}
(6) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. {Matthew 6:10}
(7) Give us this day our daily bread. {Matthew 6:11}
(8) And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. {Matthew 6:12}
(9) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. {Matthew 6:13}
(10) For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: {Matthew 6:14}
(11) But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. {Matthew 6:15}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use not vain repetitions for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking:
HOW TO USE YOUR FAITH FOR GOD'S PROMISES: The prayer, of faith, should be made in the name of Jesus. It should be in the will of God. A search of God's word on the subject should be made first. A large number of scriptures show God's promises. See my paper: "Faith" for many of the scriptures which cover most subjects. Since the subject is according to the will of God, we can pray with expectation for an immediate manifestation to result. If it does not we are to hold on to the request in faith. When you pray, your request should be made once for each subject. Any additional requests for the same subject would be made in un-belief. Prayer in the future, on that same subject, should be a praise and thanksgiving prayer for the finish work. Since the first prayer was done in faith, then the work is completed in the faith dimension. When God manifests the work, in this dimension, is in His timing. We are to believe it has been completed already.
See my paper: "Faith" FAITH PROMISES PRESENTED FOR EVERY ASPECT OF THE CHRISTIANS LIFE: SALVATION & HEALING. THE CONDITIONS. for more information on this subject.
CORRECT PERSISTENCE IS OK: We can pray thanksgiving for receiving the petition: in faith first and then when God manifests it.
Pray at all times & for all needs. Not many words are to be used. Not repeating requests.
We should ask in faith. Then our prayer should be thanks for receiving the items requested. 2nd prayer is a lack of faith.
HOW WE SHOULD NOT PRAY:
KILL THE ANOINTING: "I don't know if it’s your will to do this or not." "If it be thy will." Search the scriptures first to understand if it is God's will. We should move/pray in God's will.
RELIGIOUS WORKS: Prayer should not be by the clock. It is not an obligation as required work or duty. Prayer should not be aimed at others to hear, but it is to be directed to God. It should be simple conversation with God from our hearts. Jesus prayed one hour in Mark 14:37-38 and all night in Luke 6:12. David & Daniel prayed three times a day as in Psalms 55:17 & Daniel 6:10.
WRONG MOTIVATION:
Not make the item a god to us.
The item should not own you. You are to use it for God.
Your Father knows what things ye have need of, before ye ask him:
God has our blessing. We must only pray.

KEYWORD: ASK {MATTHEW 6:8 - 27:20}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Be
not ye therefore like unto them:
for your Father knoweth what
things ye have need of,
before ye ask him.
{Matthew 6:8}
(2) Ask,
and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you: {Matthew 7:7}
(3) Or
what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will
he give him a stone? {Matthew 7:9}
(4) Or
if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? {Matthew
7:10}
(5) If
ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto
your children, how much more shall your Father which is in
heaven give good things to them that ask him? {Matthew 7:11}
(6) And,
behold, there was a man which had his hand
withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to
heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
{Matthew 12:10}
(7)
Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she
would ask. {Matthew 14:7}

Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked
his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man
am? {Matthew 16:13}
(9) And
his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes
that Elias must first come? {Matthew 17:10}
(10) Again
I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as
touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for
them of my Father which is in heaven. {Matthew 18:19}
(11) But
Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are
ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be
baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say
unto him, We are able. {Matthew 20:22}
(12) And
all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing,
ye shall receive. Matthew 21:22
(13) And
Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one
thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell
you by what authority I do these things. {Matthew 21:24 }
(14) The
same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is
no resurrection, and asked him, {Matthew 22:23}
(15) Then
one of them, which was
a lawyer,
asked him
a question, tempting
him, and saying, {Matthew
22:35}
(16) While
the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
{Matthew 22:41}
(17) And
no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man
from that day forth ask him any more questions.
{Matthew 22:46}
(18) And
Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked
him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus
said unto him, Thou sayest. {Matthew 27:11}
(19) But
the chief priests and elders
persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas,
and destroy Jesus.
{Matthew 27:20}

LORD'S PRAYER: 6:9 - 6:13; Luke 11:2-4
Our Father: Our true Father. Abba, Father
God is holy as is His name: His Name and Word are God Himself.
See my paper: "Jesus Titles & Characteristics" TITLES FOR JESUS WITH THEIR MEANINGS for more information on this subject.
See my paper: "Names of God" OLD TESTAMENT & NEW TESTAMENT TITLES FOR GOD WITH MEANINGS. for more information on this subject.
Thy kingdom come: We ask God to help us accomplish His kingdom. The kingdom of God tells who runs it; Kingdom of Heaven tells where it is. It always existed with God as King. Jesus is King, within the Christians, of His present Kingdom. Jesus came to bring the kingdom. His second coming will have Him as king for the Millennium.
See my paper: "Kingdom of God & Heaven" JESUS CAME TO ESTABLISH HIS KINGDOM. WHAT IS HIS KINGDOM? HOW CAN IT BE ENTERED? for more information on this subject.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven: God's will is done. We ask God to help us do His will. Prayer is to pray in God's will.
Give us this day our daily bread: God will supply all things to His children.
Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors: Jesus shows us an example from the parable in Matthew 18:23-35 Unmerciful Servant.
See my paper: "Forgiveness of Sins" GOD FORGIVES OUR SINS THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS. for more information on this subject.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISC: FORGIVENESS {MATTHEW 6:12 - 18:35}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. {13} And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. {14} For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: {15} But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. {Matthew 6:12-15}
(2) Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? {22} Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. {Matthew 18:21-22}
(3) Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. {24} And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. {25} But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. {26} The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. {27} Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. {28} But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. {29} And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. {30} And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. {31} So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. {32} Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: {33} Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? {34} And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. {35} So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. {Matthew 18:23-35}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lead us not into temptation: God does not tempt anyone. God allows Satan to test and tempt us.
Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever:
Additional praise and worship to our God. Our prayers should start Father, in the Jesus name and conclude with: "in Jesus' name", not "in his name." The power and answer is in the name of Jesus.
Prayer is both words and deeds.
See my paper: "Triunity: Father, Son, & Holy Spirit" GOD IS A QUALITATIVE ONE TRIUNITY NOT TRIUNE: THREE SEPARATE PERSONS. for more information on this subject.
Amen: This means: Yea, it shall be so.
PRINCIPLES OF FORGIVEN: 6:14 - 6:15 Principle: Forgive others.
JESUS DISCOURSES: Thoroughly say: reason {Acts 6:2}, (discuss (argument or exhortation), dispute) {Acts 24:25}, preach {1 Peter 3:15}, persuade {Acts 18:16}, & speak
FORGIVENESS: {6:14-15, 18:21-35} Also found in {Mark 11:25-26} & {Luke 17:3-4}
If ye forgive men, heavenly Father will forgive you:
PRINCIPLES OF FASTING: 6:16 - 6:18 Principle: self giving.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISC: FAST {MATTHEW 6:16 - 6:18}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. {Matthew 6:16}
(2) But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; {Matthew 6:17}
(3) That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. {Matthew 6:18}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When thou fast: Fast unto the Lord that He alone knows.
Examples of fasting:
To stand in gap for people:
To learn God's will:
To stand in gap for healing country:
To heal child for parents sin:
To heal someone:
Some difficult healings or removing demons are by fasting.
Appear not unto men to fast, but to thy Father which is in secret:
PRINCIPLES OF POSSESSIONS: 6:19 - 6:24 Principle: Invest in God.
Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also: Your treasures are what are most important to you. It is a god.
1st Commandment
Single means without distortion.
Light of the body is the eye, the eye is single, body full light: The Christian is to see with spiritual vision, not fleshly vision.
Nothing wrong with possessing, but have no affection for them.
No man can serve two masters, hate one & love other, Ye can't serve God and mammon (money):
PRINCIPLES OF APPREHENSION (WORRY NOT): 6:25 - 6:34 Principle: Faith
Take no thought for your life, eat, drink, your body, or what you put on: "Take no thought" mention 5 times in Matthew 6:25, 27, 28, 31 & 34. This is important since it is stated 5 times. We are not to worry.
See my paper: "Man's Greatest Need - Relationship With God" ANSWERS QUESTIONS ABOUT GOD CHARACTERISTICS & MAN'S PURPOSES. for more information on this subject.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISC: TAKE NO THOUGHT FOR YOUR LIFE {MATTHEW 6:25 - 6:34}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? {Matthew 6:25}
(2) Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? {Matthew 6:26}
(3) Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? {Matthew 6:27}
(4) And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: {Matthew 6:28}
(5) And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. {Matthew 6:29}
(6) Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? {Matthew 6:30}
(7) Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? {Matthew 6:31}
(8) (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. {Matthew 6:32}
(9) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. {Matthew 6:33}
(10) Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. {Matthew 6:34}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cubit = 18 inches; Second - by taking thought. How tail you are
Seek ye the kingdom of God..his righteousness..all things be added:
See my paper: "True Gospel for Salvation by the Imputed Righteousness of Jesus" GOSPEL SHOWN IN SCRIPTURES MUST INCLUDE THE REVELATION OF THE IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS. for more information on this subject.
See my paper: "Imputed/Reckoned/Counted Righteousness of Jesus" TRANSFER OR THE IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS TO THE CHRISTIAN & CHRISTIAN'S SINS TO JESUS. for more information on this subject.
PRINCIPLES OF JUDGING: 7:1 - 7:5 Principle: Judge rightly.
Christians can judge sin, not the small issues. By their fruits you can know them. See Matthew 7:16 and 7:20.
See my paper: "Judgments of Believer & Unbeliever" PRESENTED ARE SEVERAL JUDGMENTS FOR THE SAVED AND UN-SAVED for more information on this subject.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISC: JUDGE NOT {MATTHEW 7:1 - 7:5}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Judge not, that ye be not judged. {Matthew 7:1}
(2) For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. {Matthew 7:2}
(3) And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? {Matthew 7:3}
(4) Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? {Matthew 7:4}
(5) Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. {Matthew 7:5}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge not, that ye be not judged:
Christians have Jesus as master.
Mote in thy brother's eye, not the beam in thine own eye:mote=speck
Judgment for same problem.
PRINCIPLES OF DISCRETION: 7:6 Principle: Guardian of truth.
Give not holy unto the dogs; cast pearls to swine: Give in accordance to spiritual understanding. Dogs/swine: gentiles/lowly
PRINCIPLES OF ASSURANCE (ASK, SEEK, KNOCK): 7:7 - 7:11 Principle: Assurance for the diligent person.
JESUS PARABLES: Similitude: illustration {Matthew 13:3}, comparison {Mark 4:30}, proverb {Luke 4:23}, figure {Hebrews 9:9}, shadow & example (Hebrews 8:5}.
{Matthew 13:34-35} "All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: {35} That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world."
ASKING MAN: {7:7-11} Also found in {Luke 11:5-13}

Prophet: A spokesman for another, as for God. Other names/titles in the Bible are as follows: Man of God; Servant of the Lord; Messenger of the Lord; and Seer (to see).
Exodus 7:1-2 "And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. {2} Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land."
Numbers 11:29 "And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, <and> that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!"
Jeremiah 1:7 "But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I <am> a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak."
Amos 3:7-8 "Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. {8} The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?"
1 Samuel 9:9 "(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for <he that is> now <called> a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)"
John 15:15 "Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you."
1 Corinthians 12:28 "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, diversities of tongues."
Prophet would meet the following:
- Spoke only in the name of the Lord (Yahweh).
- God had a special calling for him to by a prophet.
- His life matches his position. He did not practice divination.
- Do not assume signs and wonders prove his position.
- His God given prophecies came to pass.
Deuteronomy 13:1-3 "If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, {2} And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; {3} Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul."
2 Thessalonians 2:9 "<Even him>, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,"
- His message was in harmony with previous revelation. History will confirms his authenticity.
Deuteronomy 18:21-22 "And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? {22} When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that <is> the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, <but> the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."
- Moral quality and spiritual essence of the message.
- Inner witness to the Holy Spirit believer.
- Test the prophets revelation against what the Bible states.
1 Corinthians 14:29 "Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge."
Holy Scriptures:
God's word is above that of His name:
Psalms 138:2 "I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name." God's words is most important.
Word of God is Jesus (God's name) who is in every Scriptures:
Isaiah 55:11 "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." The Bible, scriptures, are God's words.
Psalms 40:7 "Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book <it is> written of me," (fulfilled see Hebrews 10:7) The Bible is centered on Jesus (God) before & after He is manifested in flesh.
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Jesus is God & the Word of God.

(1) Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. {18} A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. {19} Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. {20} Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. {21} Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. {22} Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? {23} And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. {Matthew 7:17-23}
(2) But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? {49} And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! {50} For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. {Matthew 12:48-50}
(3) While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. {Matthew 17:5}
(4) But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. {29} He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. {30} And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. {31} Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. {Matthew 21:28-31}

he doeth it. {Matthew 8:9}

Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that
the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they
that are great exercise authority upon them. {Matthew 20:25}

when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and
the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said,
By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave
thee this authority? {Matthew 21:23}
() And
Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one
thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by
what authority I do these things. {Matthew 21:24}

they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he
said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these
things. {Matthew 21:27}

(14) {Matthew 24:1-} "And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple. {2} And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. {3} And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? {4} And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. {5} For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. {6} And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. {7} For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. {8} All these are the beginning of sorrows. {9} Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. {10} And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. {11} And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. {12} And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. {13} But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. {14} And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. {15} When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) {16} Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: {17} Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: {18} Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. {19} And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! {20} But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: {21} For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. {22} And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. {23} Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. {24} For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. {25} Behold, I have told you before. {26} Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. {27} For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. {28} For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. {29} Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: {30} And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. {31} And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. {32} Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: {33} So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. {34} Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. {35} Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. {36} But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. {37} But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. {38} For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, {39} And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. {40} Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. {41} Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. {42} Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. {43} But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. {44} Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. {45} Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? {46} Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. {47} Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. {48} But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; {49} And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; {50} The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, {51} And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

{Matthew 13:34-35} "All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: {35} That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world."
GARMENT & WINE: {9:16-17} Also found in {Mark 2:21-22} & {Luke 5:36-39}
Jesus in this verse and the next provides a parable of the difference of the Old and New Testament with its consequences.
No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment. Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break:
The old and new cannot be combined as the old skins lost elasticity and burst when the wine fermented. The point is that the new teaching of the grace of Christ can not be mixed with the law of the Old Testament.

Sowing of the seed parable in Matthew 13:18-23, Mark 4:3-20, and Luke 8:5-15
Jesus is sower and the seed is the Word of Kingdom of God
Wayside->Understand not->Devil takes the Word away->
Rocks->Receives Word with joy->Believes for while->No roots->Persecution->Offended
Thorns->Cares of world/riches->Choke the Word->
Good ground->Hears Word->Understands->Bear fruit->100/60/30 fold
If the person is a Christian, then he will love God & man. Faith works will follow. If they do not show these signs, it proves that they are not of the elect Christians.
Luke 8:5-15 "A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. {6} And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. {7} And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. {8} And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. {9} And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? {10} And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. {11} Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. {12} Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. {13} They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. {14} And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. {15} But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience." Matthew 13:3-23
Four types of people are shown in this parable where the seed represents the Word of God. The non believer is type 1 group. The mere believer is types 2 group. The carnal Christian will not endure to the end is type 3 group. The Elect Christian will endure to the end is type 4 group.
1) Way side -> trodden down -> fowls devour it -> people hear Word -> Devil takes away Word -> out of their hearts -> lest they believe & be saved
The Sower Parable shows four groups of hearer of the Word. Non believers never receive the Word, the Devil takes the Word away from their heart, so they never believe or act on it. They are from the Sower Parable as group 1.
2) Rock -> sprung up -> withered away -> lack moisture -> Mere believer's hear the Word -> receive with joy -> no root -> for awhile believe -> in time of temptation -> fall away
There is a distinction between a mere believer who simply follows Christianity professes faith who receives the Word, acts on it, endures for a time, tempted, & falls away. They are from the Sower Parable as group 2.
3) Thorns -> sprung up -> thorns choked it -> Carnal worldly believer's heard Word -> go forth -> choked with cares and riches -> pleasures of this life -> bring no fruit -> to perfection
There are carnal followers of Christianity who receives the Word, acts on it, looked as if they were the Elect, endure for a time. However, the cares, riches, and deceitful pleasures of the world means they don't produce Christian faith fruits nor go on to perfection. They are from the Sower Parable as group 3.
4) Good ground -> sprang up -> bare fruit -> hundred fold -> Elect believer's with a honest and good heart -> heard the Word -> keep it -> bring forth faith fruits with patience
The Elect believer will receives the Word, act on it to the end, & bring forth fruit. The scriptures teach that Elect people will persevere because God will preserve them. They are from the Sower Paravle as group 4.

MISC: SOWER PARABLE {MATTHEW 13:3 – 13:23}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; {Matthew 13:3}
(2) And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: {Matthew 13:4}
(3) Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: {Matthew 13:5}
(4) And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. {Matthew 13:6}
(5) And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: {Matthew 13:7}
(6) But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. {Matthew 13:8}
(7) Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. {Matthew 13:9}
(8) And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? {Matthew 13:10}
(9) He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. {Matthew 13:11}
(10) For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. {Matthew 13:12}
(11) Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. {Matthew 13:13}
(12) And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: {Matthew 13:14}
(13) For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. {Matthew 13:15}
(14) But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. {Matthew 13:16}
(15) For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. {Matthew 13:17}
(16) Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. {Matthew 13:18}
(17) When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. {Matthew 13:19}
(18) But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; {Matthew 13:20}
(19) Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. {Matthew 13:21}
(20) He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. {Matthew 13:22}
(21) But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. {Matthew 13:23}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why speakest thou unto them in parables:
Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given:
Given .. taken away:
That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them:

(4) So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? {Matthew 13:27}
(5) He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? {Matthew 13:28}
(6) But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. {Matthew 13:29}
(7) Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. {Matthew 13:30}
(8) Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. {Matthew 13:36}
(9) He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; {Matthew 13:37}
(10) The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; {Matthew 13:38}
(11) The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. {Matthew 13:39}

(14) And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. {Matthew 13:42}

(3) And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! {Matthew 21:20}
(4) Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. {Matthew 21:21}

(5) For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him. {Matthew 21:32}

(1) Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: {Matthew 21:33}
(2) And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. {Matthew 21:34}
(3) And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. {Matthew 21:35}
(4) Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. {Matthew 21:36}

(7) And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. {Matthew 21:39}
(8) When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? {Matthew 21:40}
(9) They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. {Matthew 21:41}
(10) Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? {Matthew 21:42}
(11) Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. {Matthew 21:43}
(12) And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. {Matthew 21:44}
(13) And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. {Matthew 21:45}

(4) Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. {Matthew 22:4}
(5) But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: {Matthew 22:5}
(6) And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. {Matthew 22:6}
(7) But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. {Matthew 22:7}
(8) Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. {Matthew 22:8}
(9) Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. {Matthew 22:9}
(10) So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. {Matthew 22:10}
(11) And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: {Matthew 22:11}
(12) And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. {Matthew 22:12}
(13) Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. {Matthew 22:13}

(2) And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou (3) regardest not the person of men. {Matthew 22:16}
(4) Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? {Matthew 22:17}
(5) But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? {Matthew 22:18}
(6) Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. {Matthew 22:19}
(7) And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? {Matthew 22:20}
(8) They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God’s. {Matthew 22:21}
(9) When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. {Matthew 22:22}

(5) And last of all the woman died also. {Matthew 22:27}
(6) Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. {Matthew 22:28}
(7) Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. {Matthew 22:29}
(8) For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. {Matthew 22:30}
(9) But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, {Matthew 22:31}

(3) All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. {Matthew 23:3}
(4) For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. {Matthew 23:4}
(5) But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, {Matthew 23:5}
(6) And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, {Matthew 23:6}
(7) And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. {Matthew 23:7}
(8) But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. {Matthew 23:8}
(9) And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. {Matthew 23:9}
(10) Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. {Matthew 23:10}
(11) But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. Matthew {23:11}
(12) And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. {Matthew 23:12}
(13) But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. {Matthew 23:13}
(14) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. {Matthew 23:14}
(15) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. {Matthew 23:15}
(16) Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! {Matthew 23:16}
(17) Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? {Matthew 23:17}
(18) And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. {Matthew 23:18}

(24) Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. {Matthew 23:24}
(25) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. {Matthew 23:25}
(26) Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. {Matthew 23:26}
(27) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. {Matthew 23:27}
(28) Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. {Matthew 23:28}
(29) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, {Matthew 23:29}
(30) And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. {Matthew 23:30}
(31) Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. {Matthew 23:31}
(32) Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. {Matthew 23:32}
(33) Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? {Matthew 23:33}
(34) Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: {Matthew 23:34}
(35) That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. {Matthew 23:35}

(15) When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) {Matthew 24:15}
(16) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: {Matthew 24:16}
(17) Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: {Matthew 24:17}
(18) Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. {Matthew 24:18}
(19) And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! {Matthew 24:19}
(20) But [ pray ] ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: {Matthew 24:20}
(21) For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. {Matthew 24:21}
(22) And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. {Matthew 24:22}
(23) Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. {Matthew 24:23}
(24) For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. {Matthew 24:24}
(25) Behold, I have told you before. {Matthew 24:25}
(26) Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. {Matthew 24:26}
(27) For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. {Matthew 24:27}
(28) For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. {Matthew 24:28}
(29) Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: {Matthew 24:29}
(30) And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. {Matthew 24:30}
(31) And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. {Matthew 24:31}
(32) Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: {Matthew 24:32}
(33) So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. {Matthew 24:33}
(34) Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. {Matthew 24:34}
(35) Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. {Matthew 24:35}
(36) But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. {Matthew 24:36}
(37) But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. {Matthew 24:37}
(38) For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, {Matthew 24:38}
(39) And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. {Matthew 24:39}
(40) Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. {Matthew 24:40}
(41) Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. {Matthew 24:41}
(42) Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. {Matthew 24:42}
(43) But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. {Matthew 24:43}
(44) Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. {Matthew 24:44}
(45) Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? {Matthew 24:45}
(46) Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. {Matthew 24:46}
(47) Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. {Matthew 24:47}
(48) But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; {Matthew 24:48}
(49) And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; {Matthew 24:49}
(50) The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, {Matthew 24:50}
(51) And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. {Matthew 24:51}

(5) While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. {Matthew 25:5}

(8) And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. {Matthew 25:9}
(9) But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. {Matthew 25:9}
(10) And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. {Matthew 25:10}

(7) And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. {Matthew 25:20}
(8) His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. {Matthew 25:21}

(12) And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. {Matthew 25:25}
(13) His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strowed: {Matthew 25:26}
(14) Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. {Matthew 25:27}
(15) Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. {Matthew 25:28}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: {Matthew 27:1}
(2) And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. {Matthew 27:2}
(3) And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. {Matthew 27:11}
(4) And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. {Matthew 27:12}
(5) Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? {Matthew 27:13}
(6) And he answered him to never a [ word ]; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. {Matthew 27:14}
(7) Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. {Matthew 27:15}
(8) And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. {Matthew 27:16}
(9) Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or M Jesus M which is called Christ? {Matthew 27:17}
(10) For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. {Matthew 27:18}
(11) When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him {Matthew 27:19}
(12) But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. {Matthew 27:20}
(13) The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. {Matthew 27:21}
(14) Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. {Matthew 27:22}
(15) And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. {Matthew 27:23}
(16) When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. {Matthew 27:24}
(17) Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. {Matthew 27:25}
(18) Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. {Matthew 27:26}

(2) And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. {Matthew 27:28}
(3) And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! {Matthew 27:29}
(4) And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. {Matthew 27:30}
(5) And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him. {Matthew 27:31}
(6) And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. {Matthew 27:32}
(7) And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, {Matthew 27:33}
(8) They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. Matthew 27:34
(9) And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. {Matthew 27:35}
(10) And sitting down they watched him there; {Matthew 27:36}
(11) And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. {Matthew 27:37}
(12) Then were there two thieves crucified with M him M, one on the right hand, and another on the left. {Matthew 27:38}

(14) And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. {Matthew 27:40}
(15) Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, {Matthew 27:41}
(16) He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. {Matthew 27:42}
(17) He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. {Matthew 27:43}
(18) The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. {Matthew 27:4}
(19) Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. {Matthew 27:45}
(20) And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli\, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God my God why hast thou forsaken me? {Matthew 27:46}
(21) Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. {Matthew 27:47}
(22) And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. {Matthew 27:48}
(23) The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him. {Matthew 27:49}
(24) Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. {Matthew 27:50}
(25) And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; {Matthew 27:51}
(26) And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, {Matthew 27:52}
(27) And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. {Matthew 27:53}
(28) Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. {Matthew 27:54}
(29) And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: {Matthew 27:55}
(30) Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children. {Matthew 27:56}

(8) Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. {Matthew 27:64}
(9) Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. {Matthew 27:65}
