His name means gift of the Lord. He was also called Levi and was from the tribe of Levi's. He was a tax collector or publican & they were hated by the Jews. He is the writer of Matthew.

Matthew 9:9-10 "And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. 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;"

Mark 2:14 "And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him."

Mark 3:18 "And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,"

Luke 5:27 "And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. {28} And he left all, rose up, and followed him. {29} And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them."

Luke 6:15 "Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,"

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}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHO: Jesus Christ WHOM: Jewish people

Matthew 1:1 "The book of the generation of M Jesus M T Christ T, the M son M of David, the M son M of Abraham."

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.

Matthew 2:14 "When he arose, he took the young child and M his M mother by night, and departed into Egypt:"

Matthew 2:15 "And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be [ fulfilled ] which was spoken of the M Lord M by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my M son M."

It might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying Out of Egypt have I called my son:

Hosea 11:1 "When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt."

Matthew 2:16 "Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men."

Matthew 2:17 "Then was [ fulfilled ] that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,"

Matthew 2:18 "In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not."

In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not:

Jeremiah 31:15 "Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not."

Matthew 2:19 "But when Herod was dead, behold, an [ angel ] of the M Lord M appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,"

Matthew 2:22 "But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of /\ God /\ in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:"

Matthew 2:23 "And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be [ fulfilled ] which was spoken by the prophets, M He M shall be called a Nazarene."

He came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene: Note plural prophets for many Old Testament scriptures and not referring to a specific scripture. Nazarene was an unlikely place for the Messiah as this was a despised place. The Northern Galilee Roman garrison was located in Nazareth, and the Jews believed those living there were traitors. The scripture could also refer to a synonym of contemptible or despised from the Hebrew word netzer for rod and branch for Messiah as Jesus was despised.

Isaiah 11:1 "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:" (Rod is <netzer> the same root word used for branch in Isaiah 11:1 and other for Messiah).

Jeremiah 23:5-6 "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. {6} In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS."

John 1:46 "And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see." Nazarene was a synonym for comtemptible or despised place during that time period. Jesus was also despised.

Isaiah 53:3 "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not."

Acts 24:5 "For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:"

E) JOHN THE BAPTIST {MATTHEW 3:1-17}

(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}

It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God:

Deuteronomy 8:3 "And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live."

He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone:

Psalms 91:11-12 "For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. {12} They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."

Matthew 4:7 "M Jesus M said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the M Lord M thy /\ God /\."

Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God:

Deuteronomy 6:16 "Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah."

Matthew 4:8 "Again, the devil taketh M him M up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth M him M all the kingdoms of the world, and the { glory } of them;" Devil own them so he can offer them

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KEYWORD: GLORY {MATTHEW 4:8 – 25:31}

(1) Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; {Matthew 4:8}


(2) 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}


(3) 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}


(4) And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. {Matthew 6:29}

Matthew 4:10 "Then saith M Jesus M unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the M Lord M thy /\ God /\, and /\ him /\ only shalt thou serve."

Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve:

Deuteronomy 6:13 "Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name."

that proceedeth out of the mouth of

Matthew 4:11 "Then the devil leaveth M him M, and, behold, [ angels ] came and ministered unto M him M."

II) KING PROCLAIMED: {MATTHEW 4:12-7:29}

A) JESUS MINISTRY BEGINS: {MATTHEW 4:12-25}

Matthew 4:15 "The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;"

Matthew 4:16 "The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up."

Esaias - The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim Galilee of the Gentiles; The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up:

Isaiah 9:1-2 "Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. {2} The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined."

WHEN: From that time

Matthew 4:20 "And they straightway left their nets, and followed him." They forsook all and followed Jesus.

Matthew 4:21 "And going on from thence, M he M saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and M he M called them."

Matthew 4:22 "And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed M him M."

Followed him:

Matthew 4:24 "And M his M fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto M him M all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and M he M healed them."

Matthew 4:25 "And there followed M him M great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan."

B) JESUS SERMON ON MOUNT: {MATTHEW 5:1-7:29}

a) BEATITUES: {MATTHEW 5:1-12}

JESUS GIVES SERMON ON THE MOUNT: {5:1-7:29} Also found in {Luke 6:20-49, 11, 12}

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

SERMON ON THE MOUNT: {5:1-7:29} Also found in {Luke 6:20-49, 11, 12}

KINGDOM PRINCIPALS: {5, 6, 17, 18, 20, 24} Also found in {Mark 5, 9, 11}, {Luke 9, 15, 17, 24} & {John 13, 15, 16}

Matthew 5:1 "And seeing the multitudes, M he M went up into a mountain: and when M he M was set, M his M disciples came unto M him M:"

Went up into a mountain: This Is the Sermon on the Mount Matthew 5:1 - 7:29. Also referred to as the Sermon on the Plain: Luke 6:177:1, Luke 11:213, 34-36, & Luke 12:23-34, 58

Luke 6:17 "And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;" Possible not at mountain top, but at a level portion.

See my paper: "Sermon on the Mount" MATTHEW 5-7 & LUKE 6, 11 & 12 ARE DISCUSSED VERSE BY VERSE WITH KINGDOM PRINCIPLES for more information on this subject.

Matthew 5:2 "And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,"

Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

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.

Luke 6:20 "And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed <be ye> poor: for yours is the kingdom of God."

Psalms 34:18 "The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit."

Psalms 51:17 "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise."

James 4:9-10 "Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. {10} Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up."

Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted."

Matthew 5:5 "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth."

Meek: Meek, not weak, before God knowing his spiritual limitations.

Numbers 12:3 "(Now the man Moses <was> very meek, above all the men which <were> upon the face of the earth.)" 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.

Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."

Luke 6:21 "Blessed <are ye> that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed <are ye> that weep now: for ye shall laugh."

Hunger and thirst after righteousness they shall be filled: Desire to have Jesus's perfection (Matthew 5:48) & be conformed to His image (Romans 8:29)

Psalms 63:1-2 "A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; {2} To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary."

Matthew 5:7 "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy."

Merciful: for they shall obtain mercy: Whole parable in Matthew 18:23-35. The Lord showed him great mercy & he showed no mercy.  Likewise, God forgave us of all our sins. We should forgive others.

Matthew 18:32-34 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."

Matthew 5:8 "Blessed <are> the pure in heart: for they shall see /\ God /\." Pure is holy or proper motivation to God and acts to others.

Pure in heart: Because Christ changed the Christian's heart.

Jeremiah 24:7 "And I will give them an heart to know me, that I <am> the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart."

Matthew 5:9 "Blessed <are> the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of /\ God /\." Jesus is the Prince of Peace ie example

Peacemakers: Unity in family of God. Stand for peace to others.

John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Peace from fear.

Matthew 5:10 "Blessed <are> they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Persecuted for righteousness sake: Righteousness is obeying God.

2 Timothy 3:12 "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." Proof of Christian's changed nature.

Matthew 5:11 "Blessed are ye, when <men> shall revile you, and persecute <you>, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake." For the right cause: Christ, not our issues.

Luke 6:22-23 "Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you <from their company>, and shall reproach <you>, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. {23} Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward <is> great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets."

Persecute for my sake: In Jesus stead, since He is not here, the Overcomer Christian will suffers in His place for Him.

Matthew 5:12 "Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."

Persecuted they the prophets:

Luke 11:47-50 "Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. {48} Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres. {49} Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: {50} That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;"

See my paper: "Church Officers and Their Qualifications" THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRIES & THE DEACON MINISTRY ARE PRESENTED for more information on this subject.

Great is your reward in heaven: The Matthew Sermon on the Mount only has blessings whereas the Luke version of the sermon includes woes.

Luke 6:24-26 "But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. {25} Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. {26} Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets." Seeking wealth, self satisfaction, or prideful reputation are of the flesh.

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}

Matthew 5:13 "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men." Christians who lost their witness is good for nothing.

Luke 14:34-35 "Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? {35} It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."

Salt: To preserve (Christian influence), enhance the flavor (add Christian values) and purify (clean) the people around us.

Mark 9:50 "Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another."

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}

Matthew 5:14 "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid." He who walks the walk can not be hid.

Matthew 5:15 "Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house."

Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and { glorify } your /\ Father /\ which is in heaven."

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.

WHY: Jesus came not to destroy law or prophets, but to fulfill them

Matthew 5:17 "Think not that M I M am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: M I M am not come to destroy, but to [ fulfil ]."

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.

Psalms 40:6-8 "Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. {7} Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, {8} I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart."

Galatians 5:14 "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, <even> in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself"Love fulfills law

Colossians 2:14 "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" 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.

Romans 3:19-22 "Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. {20} Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law <is> the knowledge of sin. {21} But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; {22} Even the righteousness of God <which is> by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:" Law shows our sins.

Romans 3:31 "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." Faith in Jesus completed work.

Romans 10:4 "For Christ <is> the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." We appropriate Jesus righteousness.

Galatians 3:19 "Wherefore then <serveth> the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; <and it was> ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator." Jesus is that promise seed.

Galatians 3:24-25 "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster <to bring us> unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. {25} But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster." Now the Christian has faith and does not need law.

Galatians 5:1 "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." The Christian has liberty, but it's not to justify sin. See Galatians 5:13.

Galatians 5:3-4 "For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. {4} Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace." Anyone under law must do them all.

Galatians 5:13 "For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only <use> not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another." We are under the principle of law and of love.

Hebrews 10:6-10 "In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. {7} Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. {8} Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; {9} Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. {10} By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."

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}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 5:18 "For verily M I M say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be [ fulfilled ]."

One jot or one tittle: These are some of the smallest Hebrew letters indicating smallest laws.

Isaiah 40:8 "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever."

1 Peter 1:25 "But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you."

Matthew 5:19 "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

Break least commandment or teach men so, called least in kingdom:

Luke 11:42 "But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone." This is true of the Christian also. Do all & trust God.

James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one <point>, he is guilty of all."Only if a non-believer.

Matthew 5:20 "For M I M say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." 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:

Micah 6:8 "He hath showed thee, O man, what <is> good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"

Matthew 23:23 "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."

James 1:27 "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, <and> to keep himself unspotted from the world."

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.

Romans 10:2-4 "For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. {3} For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. {4} For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."

Philippians 3:9 "And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:"

Matthew 5:21 "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 ]:"

Thou shalt not kill .. danger of the judgment: This is for harming a person in anyway by word, thought, or deed.

Exodus 20:13 "Thou shalt not kill."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}


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 5:22 "But M I M 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." 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.

Psalms 78:8 "And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God."

1 John 3:15 "Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him."

PRINCIPLES OF RECONCILING: 5:23 - 5:26 Principle: right relations.

Matthew 5:23 "Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;"

Matthew 5:24 "Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift."

Reconcile to thy brother, then offer thy gift: First make your relationship with your brother correct by apologizing & forgiving.

1 John 4:20 "If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" Correct relationships.

Matthew 5:25 "Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison." This looks beyond person to God who can punish.

Matthew 18:15 "Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother."

Luke 12:58 "When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, <as thou art> in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison."

James 5:16 "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."

Matthew 5:25 "Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the [ judge ], and the [ judge ] deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison."

Matthew 5:26 "Verily M I M say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing."

PRINCIPLES OF PURITY: 5:27 -5:30 Principle: Respect & chaste

Matthew 5:27 "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:"

Ye have heard, of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

Exodus 20:14 "Thou shalt not commit adultery." 6th Commandment

Matthew 5:28 "But M I M say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."

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.

James 1:14-15 "But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. {15} Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."

Matthew 5:29 "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."

Matthew 5:30 "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."

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.

Matthew 16:26 "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

Matthew 5:31"It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:"

Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: Put away means to divorce them.

Matthew 19:6-7 "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?"

(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}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 5:32 "But M I M 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."

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.

Deuteronomy 24:1 "When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give <it> in her hand, and send her out of his house." The reason was uncleanness in her, Jesus used fornication.

Mark 10:3-9 "And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? {4} And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put <her> away. {5} And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. {6} But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. {7} For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; {8} And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. {9} What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."

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.

Matthew 19:8-9 "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."

1 John 4:20 "If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" 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

Matthew 5:33 "Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the M Lord M thine oaths:"

Matthew 5:34 "But M I M say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is /\ God’s /\ throne:"

Shalt not swear thyself, perform thine oaths. Swear not at all: A Christian's word must be perfect. He must meet his commitments.

Matthew 23:16 "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!"

See my paper: "Walk as Jesus Walked" PRESENTED ARE THE WALKS OF THE CHRISTIAN DISCIPLE. for more information on this subject.

Matthew 5:35 "Nor by the earth; for it is /\ his /\ footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King."

Matthew 5:36 "Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black."

Matthew 5:37 "But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."

Swear not at all; let your communication be Yea, yea; Nay, nay: The same principles Jesus preached are found in the epistles.

James 5:12 "But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and <your> nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation"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.

Matthew 5:38 "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:"

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.

Exodus 21:23-25 "And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, {24} Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, {25} Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe."

Leviticus 24:19-21 "And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him; {20} Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.{21} And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death."

Deuteronomy 19:19 "Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you."

Exodus 21:24-25 "Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, {25} Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe." The law limited the punishment to fit the crime.

Romans 12:17 "Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men."

Romans 12:19 "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but <rather> give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance <is> mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." Let God handle the problem.

Matthew 5:39 "But M I M say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."

Whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn the other to: Not return evil for evil, but good for evil.

Luke 6:29 "And unto him that smiteth thee on the <one> cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not <to take thy> coat also."

Matthew 5:40 "And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have <thy> cloak also."

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.

1 Corinthians 6:1 "Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?"

1 Corinthians 6:7 "Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather <suffer yourselves to> be defrauded?" This is aimed at two Christians, but holds for sinner.

Matthew 5:41 "And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain."

See my paper: "The Christian Position on Civil Authority & Nonresistance" CHRISTIANITY TEACH LOVE, NONRESISTANCE & OBEY AUTHORITY for more information on this subject.

Matthew 5:42 "Give to him that [ asketh ] thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away." Give, but use judgment. The person must have a genuine need. He should use his own faith.

Luke 6:30 "Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask <them> not again." Do not request return.

Luke 6:34-35 "And if ye lend <to them> of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. {35} But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and <to> the evil."

PRINCIPLES OF LOVE (LOVE ENEMIES): 5:43 - 5:47 Principle: Divine love to all people. Do good deeds to enemies.

Matthew 5:43 "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt [ love ] thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy."

Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy:

Leviticus 19:18 "Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD."

Psalms 139:20-24 "For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. {21} Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? {22} I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. {23} Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: {24} And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

KEYWORD: LOVE {MATTHEW 5:43 - 24:13}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. {44} 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; {45} That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. {46} For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? {47} And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? {48} Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. {Matthew 5:43-48}

(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}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WAY: Jesus taught you to love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, despitefully use you, and persecute you

Matthew 5:44 "But M I M 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;"

Luke 6:27-28 "But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, {28} Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you." 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.

Romans 12:14 "Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not."

Pray for them which despitefully use you:

KEYWORD: PRAYER {MATTHEW 5:4426:54}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(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}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 5:45 "That ye may be the children of your /\ Father /\ which is in heaven: for /\ he /\ maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." 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:

Romans 2:4 "Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?"

Romans 9:22 "<What> if God, willing to show <his> wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:"

Matthew 5:46 "For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?" Love all people.

Luke 6:32-33 "For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. {33} And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same."

Matthew 5:46 "For if ye [ love ] them which [ love ] you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?" Christians love by God,s example

Matthew 5:47 "And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?"

PRINCIPLE OF IMITATATION (REPRODUCTION): 5:48 Principle: = God

Matthew 5:48 "Be ye therefore [ perfect ], even as your /\ Father /\ which is in heaven is perfect."

Be perfect as your Father is perfect: Absolute maturity is perfect.

The scriptures teach levels of perfection. Absolute is fullness.

Genesis 17:1 "And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I <am> the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect."

Leviticus 19:2 "Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy."

Ephesians 4:13 "Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:"

Philippians 3:12-15 "Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. {13} Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, {14} I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. {15} Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you."

Colossians 1:28 "Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:"

Hebrews 6:1-2 "Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, {2} Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment." Basic teachings

Hebrews 5:9 "And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;" This is Jesus.

Hebrews 10:14 "For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified." The sanctified are perfected by Jesus.

1 Peter 1:15-16 "But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; {16} Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy."

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.

Luke 6:36 "Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful."

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.

Matthew 18:32-34 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."

Matthew 6:2 "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."

Do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites..they have their reward:

Matthew 6:3 "But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:"

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.

Psalms 112:9 "He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour."

2 Corinthians 9:10-11 "Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) {11} Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God."

Matthew 6:4 "That thine alms may be in secret: and thy /\ Father /\ which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly."

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).

Matthew 6:5 "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." They are praying so others see and hear them.

When thou prayest:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 6:6 "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."

Matthew 6:7 "But when ye [ pray ], use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking."

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.

Colossians 4:12 "Epaphras, who is <one> of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God."

Luke 11:5-11 "And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; {6} For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? {7} And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. {8} I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. {9} And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." Pray at all times & for all needs. Not many words are to be used. Not repeating requests.

Luke 18:1-8 "And he spake a parable unto them <to this end>, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; {2} Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: {3} And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. {4} And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; {5} Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. {6} And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. {7} And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? {8} I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" 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.

Jeremiah 32:17 "Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, <and> there is nothing too hard for thee:"

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:

James 4:3 "Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume <it> upon your lusts." Not make the item a god to us.

1 John 2:15 "Love not the world, neither the things <that are> in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." The item should not own you. You are to use it for God.

Matthew 6:8 "Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your /\ Father /\ knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye [ ask ] him."

Your Father knows what things ye have need of, before ye ask him:

Isaiah 65:24 "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear."

Acts 15:18 "Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world." God has our blessing. We must only pray.

Matthew 6:10 "/\ Thy /\ kingdom come. /\ Thy /\ will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."

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.

Luke 11:20 "But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you."

Luke 17:21 "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

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.

Matthew 6:11 "Give us this day our daily bread."

Luke 11:3 "Give us day by day our daily bread."

Give us this day our daily bread: God will supply all things to His children.

Philippians 4:19 "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors: Jesus shows us an example from the parable in Matthew 18:23-35 Unmerciful Servant.

Mark 11:26 "But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."

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}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 6:13 "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."

Luke 11:4 "And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil."

Lead us not into temptation: God does not tempt anyone. God allows Satan to test and tempt us.

Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed <is> willing, but the flesh <is> weak."

James 1:13-14 "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: {14} But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed."

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.

John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

John 16:24 "Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full." "Jesus, not the name"

Colossians 3:17 "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, <do> all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." 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}

Matthew 6:14 "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly /\ Father /\ will also forgive you:"

If ye forgive men, heavenly Father will forgive you:

Mark 11:25 "And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

Matthew 6:15 "But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your /\ Father /\ forgive your trespasses."

PRINCIPLES OF FASTING: 6:16 - 6:18 Principle: self giving.

Matthew 6:16 "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 M I M say unto you, They have their reward."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 6:17 "But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;"

When thou fast: Fast unto the Lord that He alone knows.

Examples of fasting:

To stand in gap for people:

Deuteronomy 9:18 "And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger."

To learn God's will:

Ezra 8:21 "Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance."

To stand in gap for healing country:

2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

To heal child for parents sin:

2 Samuel 12:16 "David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth."

To heal someone:

Matthew 17:21 "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."Some difficult healings or removing demons are by fasting.

Matthew 6:18 "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."

Appear not unto men to fast, but to thy Father which is in secret:

Isaiah 58:3-7 "Wherefore have we fasted, <say they>, and thou seest not? <wherefore> have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. {4} Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as <ye do this> day, to make your voice to be heard on high. {5} Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? <is it> to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes <under him>? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? {6} <Is> not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? {7} <Is it> not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?"

PRINCIPLES OF POSSESSIONS: 6:19 - 6:24 Principle: Invest in God.

Matthew 6:19 "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:"

Matthew 6:20 "But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:"

Luke 12:33 "Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth."

Matthew 6:21 "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

Luke 12:34 "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also: Your treasures are what are most important to you.  It is a god.

Exodus 20:3 "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."1st Commandment

Matthew 6:22 "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light."

Luke 11:34-36 "The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when <thine eye> is evil, thy body also <is> full of darkness. {35} Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. {36} If thy whole body therefore <be> full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light." 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.

1 John 2:15-17 "Love not the world, neither the things <that are> in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. {16} For all that <is> in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. {17} And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever"Nothing wrong with possessing, but have no affection for them.

Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Matthew 6:23 "But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!"

Matthew 6:24 "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."

No man can serve two masters, hate one & love other, Ye can't serve God and mammon (money):

1 Timothy 6:10 "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."

PRINCIPLES OF APPREHENSION (WORRY NOT): 6:25 - 6:34 Principle: Faith

Matthew 6:25 "Therefore M I M 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?"

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.

Luke 12:22-23 "And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. {23} The life is more than meat, and the body <is more> than raiment."

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}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 6:26 "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?"

Luke 12:24 "Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?" Much

Matthew 6:27 "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Cubit = 18 inches; Second - by taking thought. How tail you are

Luke 12:25 "And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?"

Matthew 6:28 "And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:"

Luke 12:26-27 "If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? {27} Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."

Matthew 6:29 "And yet M I M say unto you, That even Solomon in all his { glory } was not arrayed like one of these."

Luke 12:28 "If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more <will he clothe> you, O ye of little faith?"

Matthew 6:30 "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 6:31 "Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?"

Luke 12:29 "And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind."

Matthew 6:32 "(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly /\ Father /\ knoweth that ye have need of all these things."

Luke 12:30 "For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things."

WHEREAS: Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you

Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of /\ God /\, and /\ his /\ righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Luke 12:31 "But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Seek ye the kingdom of God..his righteousness..all things be added:

Psalms 21:2 "Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah."

Matthew 19:29 "And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life."

Mark 10:29-30 "And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, {30} But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life."

Matthew 6:34 "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."

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.

Matthew 7:1 "[ judge ] not, that ye be not [ judged ]."

Luke 6:37 "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:"

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}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 7:2 "For with what [ judgment ] ye [ judge ], ye shall be [ judged ]: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."

Luke 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."

Judge not, that ye be not judged:

Romans 14:4 "Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand."Christians have Jesus as master.

Romans 14:10 "But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ."

Matthew 7:3 "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"

Luke 6:41-42 "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? {42} Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye."

Mote in thy brother's eye, not the beam in thine own eye:mote=speck

Galatians 6:7 "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Judgment for same problem.

Matthew 7:4 "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 7:5 "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."

PRINCIPLES OF DISCRETION: 7:6 Principle: Guardian of truth.

Matthew 7:6 "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."

Give not holy unto the dogs; cast pearls to swine: Give in accordance to spiritual understanding. Dogs/swine: gentiles/lowly

Matthew 10:14-15 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. {15} 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 15:26 "But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and cast <it> to dogs." Dogs = gentiles

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}

Matthew 7:7 "[ Ask ], and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:"

Ask, Seek & knock: Diligently seek Him. What is most important?

Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith <it is> impossible to please <him>: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and <that> he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."God gives

Luke 11:9 "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."

See my paper: "Faith" FAITH PROMISES PRESENTED FOR EVERY ASPECT OF THE CHRISTIANS LIFE: SALVATION & HEALING. THE CONDITIONS. for more information on this subject.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MISC: ASK/RECEIVE {MATTHEW 7:7 - 7:12}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: {Matthew 7:7}

(2) For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. {Matthew 7:8}

(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) Therefore 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}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 7:8 "For every one that [ asketh ] receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."

Luke 11:10 "For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."

Matthew 7:9 "Or what man is there of you, whom if his son [ ask ] bread, will he give him a stone?"

Luke 11:11 "If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if <he ask> a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?"

Matthew 7:10 "Or if he [ ask ] a fish, will he give him a serpent?"

Luke 11:12 "Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?"

Matthew 7:11 "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 /\?"

Luke 11:13 "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall <your> heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?"

Ye, being evil give good gifts, much more Father give Holy Spirit:

James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;"

See my paper: "Godhead Relationship" HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH MANIFESTATION OF THE GODHEAD FOR FULFILLMENT, NOT ONLY JESUS. for more information on this subject.

PRINCIPLES OF GOLDEN RULE: 7:12 Principle: One way to live Bible.

This one scripture does the law and prophets which is the equivalent to the entire Bible (Old Testament was only Bible at this time).

See my paper: "The Purpose of Jesus Coming (Eight "W's")" SALVATION PRESENTATION WITH "W'S" TWIST. for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Walk as Jesus Walked" PRESENTED ARE THE WALKS OF THE CHRISTIAN DISCIPLE. for more information on this subject.

Matthew 7:12 "Therefore 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."

Luke 6:31 "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise."

d) KINGDOM LIFE PROOFS: {7:13-29}

PRINCIPLES OF GATES: 7:13 - 7:14 Principle: Right way.

Matthew 7:13 "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:"

Matthew 7:14 "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

Strait gate vs wide gate: Camel had to bend down on knees to go.

Mark 10:25 "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."Small

PRINCIPLES OF DEEDS: 7:15 - 7:20 Principle: Measure Christian life

Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."

See my paper: "Jesus as Prophet, Priest, & King" SCRIPTURES SHOWS JESUS AS A PROPHET, MELCHISEDEC PRIEST & ETERNAL KING for more information on this subject.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MISC: TRUE & FALSE PROPHETS TEST {MATTHEW 7:15}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 7:16 "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"

Matthew 7:17 "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit."  By there fruit you can know them

Luke 6:43 "For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."

Good tree bringeth forth good fruit:

Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, {23} Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

Matthew 7:18 "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."

Matthew 7:19 "Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."

Matthew 7:20 "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."

Luke 6:44 "For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes."

By their fruits ye shall know them:

Matthew 12:33 "Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by <his> fruit."

Luke 6:45 "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh."

Judgment of self works: Judge your own: motives, works, words and sins. See my papers: "Judgment of Believer & Un-Believer" and "Christian Growth" for more information on these subjects.

1 Corinthians 3:11-15 "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. {12} Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; {13} Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. {14} If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. {15} If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire."

1 Corinthians 11:31-32 "For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. {32} But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world."

2 Corinthians 5:10 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things <done> in <his> body, according to that he hath done, whether <it be> good or bad."

PRINCIPLES OF DOING GOD'S WILL: 7:21 - 7:23 Principle: Obedience.

WHILE: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father

Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, M Lord M, M Lord M, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of M my M /\ Father /\ which is in heaven."

Luke 6:46 "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"

Not saith Lord, but he that doeth the will of my Father in heaven:

Acts 19:13-15 "Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. {14} And there were seven sons of <one> Sceva, a Jew, <and> chief of the priests, which did so. {15} And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?"

Romans 2:13 "(For not the hearers of the law <are> just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MISC: DO GOD’S WILL {MATTHEW 7:17 – 21:31}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(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}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 7:22 "Many will say to M me M in that day, M Lord M, M Lord M, have we not prophesied in M thy M name? and in M thy M name have cast out devils? and in M thy M name done many wonderful works?"

Many will say, Lord, we prophesied, cast out devils, done works:

They had a works religion, using Jesus's name, not a relationship with God.

Acts 19:13 "Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth."

Acts 19:15-16 "And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? {16} And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked & wounded."

See my paper: "What is a Born-Again & How to Become One" BORN-AGAIN PRINCIPLES ARE PRESENTED. THE STEPS TO RECEIVE JESUS ARE SHOWN. for more information on this subject.

Matthew 7:23 "And then will M I M profess unto them, M I M never knew you: depart from M me M, ye that work iniquity."

I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity: Self works

PRINCIPLES OF PERFORMANCE: 7:24 - 7:27 Principle: Obedience or do deeds. Sermon on the Mount is for today.

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."

TWO FOUNDATIONS: {7:24-27} Also found in {Luke 6:47-49}

Matthew 7:24 "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, M I M will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:"

Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them: Jesus is telling us today to be do the word, not just a hear the sermon.

See my paper: "Preservation and Perseverance of the Elect" ELECT HAVE ETERNAL SECURITY BEING KEPT BY GOD UNTO ETERNAL LIFE. for more information on this subject.

Luke 6:47-48 "Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like: {48} He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock."

Matthew 7:25 "And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock."

Matthew 7:26 "And every one that heareth these sayings of M mine M, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:"

Every one that heareth these sayings on mine and doeth them not:

James 1:22 "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."

Luke 6:49 "But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great."

Matthew 7:27 "And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it."

PRINCIPLES OF AUTHORITY: 7:28 - 7:29 Principle: Jesus authority.

Matthew 7:28 "And it came to pass, when M Jesus M had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:"

Matthew 7:29 "For M he M taught them as one having [ authority ], and not as the scribes."

People astonish at his doctrine, he taught, as having authority: Jesus used scripture and not man make laws of tradition.

Mark 7:5-7 "Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? {6} He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with <their> lips, but their heart is far from me. {7} Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching <for> doctrines the commandments of men."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KEYWORD: AUTHORITY {MATTHEW 1:2227:35}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


() For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. {Matthew 7:29}


() 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. {Matthew 8:9}


() But 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}


() And 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}


() And 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}


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

III) KING HEALED PEOPLE: {MATTHEW 8:1-11:1}

A) JESUS POWER OVER SICKNESS: {MATTHEW 8:1-34}

JESUS HEALS LEPER: {8:1-4} Also found in {Mark 1:40-45} & {Luke 5:12-16}

Jesus ministry includes super-natural healing of the sick and those possessed by demons as proof of His deliverance over consequences of sin and elements of its sickness control:

Matthew 4:23-24 "And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people."

{24} And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them."  Jesus used these threefold ministries of teaching, preaching, and healing.

Matthew 8:16-17 "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 10:1 "And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease."

Matthew 8:1 "When M he M was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed M him M."

Matthew 8:2 "And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped M him M, saying, M Lord M, if M thou M wilt, M thou M canst make me clean." The man knew Jesus can clean him

Matthew 8:3 "And M Jesus M put forth M his M hand, and touched him, saying, M I M will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed."

Matthew 8:4 "And M Jesus M saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them."

Show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them:

Leviticus 14:2-4 "This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest: {3} And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper; {4} Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:"

Numbers 12:10-15 "And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. {11} And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned. {12} Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb. {13} And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee. {14} And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again {15} And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again."

2 Kings 5:10-15 "And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. {11} But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. {12} Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. {13} And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? {14} Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. {15} And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant."

(9) And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour. {Matthew 8:13}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 8:9 "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."

Man under authority: If a lessor officer can give orders than Christ can give orders.

Matthew 8:10 "When M Jesus M heard it, M he M marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily M I M say unto you, M I M have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel."

I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel: Two Gentiles had this great faith.

Matthew 14:29-31 "And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. {30} But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. {31} And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?"

Matthew 15:25-28 "Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. {26} But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and cast it to dogs. {27} And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. {28} Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour."

Luke 7:47-50 "Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. {48} And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. {49} And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? {50} And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace."

Luke 17:5-6 "And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. {6} And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you."

Matthew 8:11 "And M I M say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 8:12 "But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Matthew 8:13 "And M Jesus M said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour."

JESUS HEALS PETER’S MOTHER-IN-LAW: {8:14-15} Also found in {Mark 1:29-31} & {Luke 4:38-39}

Matthew 8:14 "And when M Jesus M was come into Peter's house, M he M saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever."

Matthew 8:15 "And M he M touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them."

JESUS HEALS & CAST OUT DEMONS FOR MANY: {8:16-17} Also found in {Mark 1:32-34} & {Luke 4:40-41}

WAY: Jesus cast out the spirits with his word and healed all that were sick

Matthew 8:16 "When the even was come, they brought unto M him M many that were possessed with devils: and M he M cast out the spirits with M his M [ word ], and healed all that were sick:"

WHAT: To fulfill Esaias the prophet, saying, himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses

Matthew 8:17 "That it might be [ fulfilled ] which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, M himself M took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses."

WHY: To fulfill Esaias the prophet

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses: Healing for the sick is part of the atonement as is salvation.

Isaiah 53:4 "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted."

1 Peter 2:24 "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."

MISC: PURPOSE OF HEALING {ISAIAH 53: TO MATTHEW 8:148:17}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. {Matthew 8:14}

(2) And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. {Matthew 8:15}

(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: {Matthew 8:16}

(4) That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. {Matthew 8:17}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 8:18 "Now when M Jesus M saw great multitudes about M him M, M he M gave commandment to depart unto the other side."

Matthew 8:19 "And a certain scribe came, and said unto M him M, M Master M, I will follow M thee M whithersoever M thou M goest."

Matthew 8:20 "And M Jesus M saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the M Son M of man hath not where to lay M his M head."

Matthew 8:21 "And another of M his M disciples said unto M him M, M Lord M, suffer me first to go and bury my father." Excuses as to why they are not following Jesus as their prime purpose.

Matthew 8:22 "But M Jesus M said unto him, Follow M me M; and let the dead bury their dead."

Let the dead bury their dead: Priority of Jesus first. Let the spiritual dead bury the physically dead. This is a cost of following Jesus.

Luke 9:59-62 "And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. {60} Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. {61} And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. {62} And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

JESUS STILLS SEA STORM: {8:23-27} Also found in {Mark 4:35-41} & {Luke 8:22-25}

Matthew 8:23 "And when M he M was entered into a ship, M his M disciples followed M him M."

Matthew 8:24 "And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but M he M was asleep."

Matthew 8:25 "And M his M disciples came to M him M, and awoke M him M, saying, M Lord M, save us: we perish." Fear and lack of faith in Jesus

Matthew 8:26 "And M he M saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then M he M arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

WHILE: Jesus rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm and the men marvelled at what manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him

Matthew 8:27 "But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey M him M!"

What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him: Jesus is both true man and true God on earth

Matthew 14:33 "Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God."

Mark 6:51 "And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered."

JESUS CASTS OUT GADARENE DEMONIAC: {8:28-34} Also found in {Mark 5:1-20} & {Luke 8:26-39}

Matthew 8:28 "And when M he M was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met M him M two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way."

Matthew 8:29 "And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with M thee M, M Jesus M, thou M Son M of /\ God /\? art M thou M come hither to torment us before the time?"

What have we to do with thee:

1 Kings 17:18 "And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?"

Matthew 8:30 "And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding."

Matthew 8:31 "So the devils besought M him M saying, If M thou M cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine."

Matthew 8:32 "And M he M said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters."

Matthew 8:33 "And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils."

When they were come out, they went into the herd of swine:

Luke 8:31-33 "And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. {32} And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. {33} Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked."

See my paper: "Jewish Bible Teachings on Heaven, Hell & Spirit Beings" OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES SHOW SUBJECTS. for more information on this subject.

WHILE: The whole city came out to meet Jesus and besought him that he would depart out of their coasts

Matthew 8:34 "And, behold, the whole city came out to meet M Jesus M: and when they saw M him M, they besought M him M that M he M would depart out of their coasts." They saw Jesus authority and power and wanted Him to leave.

The whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts:

Luke 4:28-30 "And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, {29} And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. {30} But he passing through the midst of them went his way,"

Acts 16:39 "And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city."

B) JESUS PARDONS SINS: {MATTHEW 9:1-17}

JESUS HEALS PARALYTIC: {9:1-8} Also found in {Mark 2:1-12} & {Luke 5:17-26}

Matthew 9:1 "And M he M entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into M his M own city."

Matthew 9:2 "And, behold, they brought to M him M a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and M Jesus M seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee."

Matthew 9:3 "And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth."

Matthew 9:4 "And M Jesus M knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?"

Matthew 9:5 "For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?"

Matthew 9:6 "But that ye may know that the M Son M of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith M he M to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house."

Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins: Jesus then heals the man to prove His authority.  The people believed that sins resulted in mans sickness, which is true sometimes.

John 9:1-3 "And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. {2} And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? {3} Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him."

John 11:4 "When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby."

Matthew 9:7 "And he arose, and departed to his house."

Matthew 9:8 "But when the multitude saw it, they marvelled, and { glorified } /\ God /\, which had given such power unto men."  The people understood Jesus power over sickness.

See my paper: "Messianic Prophecies That Jesus Fulfilled" OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES PROPHECIES & THEIR NEW TESTAMENT FULFILLMENT BY JESUS. for more information on this subject.

Matthew 9:9 "And as M Jesus M passed forth from thence, M he M saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and M he M saith unto him, Follow M me M. And he arose, and followed M him M."

Named Matthew: Jesus calls Matthew to be a disciple.

Matthew 9:10 "And it came to pass, as M Jesus M sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with M him M and M his M disciples."

Matthew 9:11 "And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto M his M disciples, Why eateth your M Master M with publicans and sinners?"

Matthew 9:12 "But when M Jesus M heard that, M he M said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick."

They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick:

Mark 2:17 "When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

Luke 10:34-35 "And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. {35} And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee."

Colossians 4:14 "Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you."

Matthew 9:13 "But go ye and learn what that meaneth, M I M will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for M I M am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to [ repentance ]."

I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance:

Proverbs 21:3 "To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice."

Hosea 6:6 "For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings."

Micah 6:6-8 "Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? {7} Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? {8} He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"

Matthew 9:14 "Then came to M him M the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but M thy M disciples fast not?"

Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not:

Matthew 11:18-19 "For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. {19} The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children."

Matthew 6:16 "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 9:15 "And M Jesus M said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast."

Luke 5:33-35 "And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink? {34} And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? {35} But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days."

(9) {Matthew 20:23} "And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father."

(10) {Matthew 20:28} "Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."

(11) {Matthew 21:2} "Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me."

(12) {Matthew 21:43} "Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof."

(13) {Matthew 23:34} "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:"

(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."

(15) {Matthew 26:2} "Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified."

(16) {Matthew 26:21-23} "And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. {22} And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? {23} And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me."

(17) {Matthew 26:26-29} "And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. {27} And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; {28} For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. {29} But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."

(18) {Matthew 26:31-32} "Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. {32} But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee."

(19) {Matthew 26:34} "Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice."

(20) {Matthew 28:10} "Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me."

JESU 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."

GARMENT & WINE: {9:16-17} Also found in {Mark 2:21-22} & {Luke 5:36-39}

Matthew 9:16 "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, and the rent is made worse."  Jesus in this verse and the next provides a parable of the difference of the Old and New Testament with its consequences.

Matthew 9:17 "Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved."

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:

Luke 5:37 "And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish." 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.

C) JESUS POWER OVER SATAN: {MATTHEW 9:18-38}

JESUS RAISES JAIRUS’S DAUGHTER & HEALS HEMORRHAGE: {9:18-26} Also found in {Mark 5:21-43} & {Luke 8:40-56}

Matthew 9:18 "While M he M spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped M him M, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay M thy M hand upon her, and she shall live." Great faith for Jesus to heal the dead.

Matthew 9:19 "And M Jesus M arose, and followed him, and so did M his M disciples."

Matthew 9:20 "And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind M him M, and touched the hem of M his M garment:"

Matthew 9:21 "For she said within herself, If I may but touch M his M garment, I shall be whole." Faith to not even have Jesus say the word to heal her

Matthew 9:22 "But M Jesus M turned M him M about, and when M he M saw her, M he M said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour."

Matthew 9:25 "But when the people were put forth, M he M went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose."

Matthew 9:26 "And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land."

The fame hereof went abroad into all that land:

Matthew 4:24 "And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them."

Pharisees said Jesus casts out devils through the prince of the devils: They called good evil which means they have no hope of repenting

JESUS SENDS APOSTLES TO PREACH & HEAL: {9:35-11:1} Also found in {Mark 6:7-13} & {Luke 9:1-6}

Matthew 9:35 "And M Jesus M went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the [ gospel ] of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people." The gospel of the kingdom and healing is the message of Jesus

Matthew 9:36 "But when M he M saw the multitudes, M he M was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd."

As sheep having no shepherd:

Jeremiah 50:6 "My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace."

Matthew 10:6-8 "But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. {7} And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. {8} Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."

APOSTLES: {10:1-16} Also found in {Mark 3:13-19} & {Luke 6:12-16}

Matthew 10:1 "And when M he M had called unto M him M M his M twelve disciples, M he M gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease." The apostles were giving power to heal and cast out devils

He gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease:

Luke 9:1 "Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. {2} And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick."

Luke 10:1, 9, 17, 18-19 "After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. {9} And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. {17} And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. {19} Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. {20} Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, {Matthew 11:2}

(2)} And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? {Matthew 11:3}

(3) Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see: {Matthew 11:4}

(4) The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. {Matthew 11:5}

(5) And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. {Matthew 11:6}

(6) And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? {Matthew 11:7}

(7) 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}

(8) But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. {Matthew 11:9}

(9) For this is he, of whom, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. {Matthew 11:11}

(10) And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. {Matthew 11:12}

(11) For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. {Matthew 11:13}

(12) And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. {Matthew 11:14}

(13) He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. {Matthew 11:15}

(14) But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, {Matthew 11:16}

(15) And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. {Matthew 11:17}

(16) For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. {Matthew 11:18}

Matthew 11:3 "And said unto M him M, Art thou M he M that should come, or do we look for another?"

Matthew 11:4 "M Jesus M answered and said unto them, Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see:"

Matthew 11:5 "The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the [ gospel ] preached to them."

The blind receive their sight .. the poor have the gospel preached to them:

Isaiah 29:18-19 "And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. {19} The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel."

Matthew 11:6 "And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in M me M."

Matthew 11:7 "And as they departed, M Jesus M began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?"

Matthew 11:8 "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 11:9 "But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, M I M say unto you, and more than a prophet."

Matthew 11:10 "For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, /\ I /\ send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before M thee M."

Matthew 11:11 "Verily M I M say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."

Matthew 11:12 "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."

Until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force:

Luke 16:16 "The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it."

Matthew 11:13 "For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John." John is included with last of Old Testament prophets and end of the law for relationship with God..

Matthew 11:14 "And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come."

Matthew 11:15 "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."

Matthew 11:16 "But whereunto shall M I M liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,"

Matthew 11:17 "And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented."

Matthew 11:18 "For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil."

Matthew 11:19 "The M Son M of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children." Jesus is accused wrongly for sins without a cause as good is called bad.

Matthew 11:22 "But M I M say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of [ judgment ], than for you."

The day of judgment:

Matthew 11:23 "And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day."  Punishment for not receiving Jesus as their savior

Matthew 11:24 "But M I M say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of [ judgment ], than for thee."

Matthew 11:25 "At that time M Jesus M answered and said, M I M thank thee, O /\ Father /\, M Lord M of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes." God predestinates His grace to whosoever He wishes.

(3) But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; {Matthew 12:3}

WHY: Jesus said, that in this place is one greater than the temple

But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless:

Hosea 6:6 "For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings."

Micah 6:6-8 "Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? {7} Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? {8} He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"

Matthew 9:13 "But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

Matthew 12:12 "How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days."  Jesus gives them the correct information, but they are stuck to the law only.

Matthew 12:13 "Then saith M he M to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other."

Matthew 12:14 "Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against M him M, how they might destroy M him M."  They now hate Jesus who tried to teach them grace and mercy.

WHAT: Pharisees said, this fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils

(3) For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. {Matthew 12:40}

(4) 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}

(5) 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}

1 Kings 10:9 "Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice."

Matthew 12:43 "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none."

Matthew 12:44 "Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished."

Matthew 12:45 "Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation."

Unclean spirit is gone out of a man .. return into my house from whence I came out .. takes seven other spirits more wicked than himself:

Matthew 7:22-23 "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." It is not enough to repent and clean ones life.  It must also include a complete change of trust only in Jesus for salvation.

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.

(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}

(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}

Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given:

Matthew 13:16 "But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear."

Matthew 13:17 "For verily M I M 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."

That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them:

1 Peter 1:10-12 "Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: {11} Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. {12} Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into."

Deuteronomy 5:16 "Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."

Matthew 5:23-24 "Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; {24} Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift."

Mark 7:11-13 "But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.{12} And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; {13} Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye."

Matthew 15:6 "And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of /\ God /\ of none effect by your tradition." God’s Spirit of the law rejected by traditions.

Matthew 15:7 "Ye [ hypocrites ], well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,"

Matthew 15:8 "This people draweth nigh unto /\ me /\ with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from /\ me /\."

Honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me:

Ezekiel 33:31 "And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness."

Matthew 15:9 "But in vain they do worship /\ me /\, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Man’s doctrines rather than God’s doctrines.

They do worship me teaching for doctrines the commandments of men:

Matthew 21:12 "And M Jesus M 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," Jesus may have cleaned the temple more than once as in John 2:14 as Jesus begins His ministry and this near the end of His ministry.

Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple:

(2) 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 21:13}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 21:13 "And said unto them, It is written, M My M house shall be called the house of [ prayer ]; but ye have made it a den of thieves."

My house shall be called the house of prayer:

Isaiah 56:7 "Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people."

Matthew 21:14 "And the blind and the lame came to M him M in the temple; and M he M healed them."

Matthew 21:15 "And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that M he M did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the M son M of David; they were sore displeased," They had wrong ideas about what Jesus was doing.  They were evil and jealous of Jesus.

Matthew 21:16 "And said unto M him M, Hearest thou what these say? And M Jesus M saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings /\ thou /\ hast [ perfected ] praise?"

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise:

Psalms 8:2 "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger."

Matthew 21:17 "And M he M left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and M he M lodged there."

JESUS CURSES FIG TREE: {21:18-22} Also found in {Mark 11:12-26}

Matthew 21:18 "Now in the morning as M he M returned into the city, M he M hungered."

FIG TREE {21:18 – 21:22}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) Now in the morning as M he M returned into the city, M he M hungered. {Matthew 21:18}

(2) And when M he M saw a fig tree in the way, M he M came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. {Matthew 21:19}

(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) And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. {Matthew 21:22}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 21:19 "And when M he M saw a fig tree in the way, M he M came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away."  The tree has fruit and leave growing together.  This is a symbol of Judaism not having fruits with their many advantages of the Bible and prophets.

Matthew 21:20 "And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!"

Matthew 21:21 " M Jesus M answered and said unto them, Verily M I M 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." This shows the power of faith in the Christian.

If ye have faith..but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done:

Matthew 21:24 "And M Jesus M answered and said unto them, M I M also will [ ask ] you one thing, which if ye tell M me M, M I M in like wise will tell you by what [ authority ] M I M do these things."

Matthew 21:25 "The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?" Again the leadership rejected the men God sent. Their had a failed religious system.

The baptism of John:

Matthew 21:26 "But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet."

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

(2) He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. {Matthew 21:29}

(3) And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. {Matthew 21:30}

(4) 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 21:31}

(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}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 21:32 "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." Many sinners repented of their sins, but the religious leadership rejected God’s messenger.

(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}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 21:34 "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 21:35 "And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another." The same was true of John the Baptist and Jesus by the religious leadership.

Matthew 21:36 "Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise."

Matthew 21:37 "But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son."

Matthew 21:43 "Therefore say M I M unto you, The kingdom of /\ God /\ shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof."  The end results of their rejection of Jsus.

Matthew 21:44 "And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."

Matthew 21:45 "And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them."

(3) And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. {Matthew 22:3}

(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}

Matthew 22:2 "The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,"

Matthew 22:3 "And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come."  The religious leadership rejected Jesus the Son of God when He was presented.

(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}

(1) Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, {Matthew 23:1}

(2) Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: {Matthew 23:2}

(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}

(19) Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? {Matthew 23:19}

(21) And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. {Matthew 23:21}

(22) And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. {Matthew 23:22}

(23) 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}

(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}

(36) Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. {Matthew 23:36}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(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. {Matthew 24:1}

(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. {Matthew 24:2}

(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? {Matthew 24:3}

(4) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. {Matthew 24:4}

(5) For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. {Matthew 24:5}

(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. {Matthew 24:6}

(7) For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. {Matthew 24:7}

(8) All these are the beginning of sorrows. {Matthew 24:8}

(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. {Matthew 24:9}

(10) And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. {Matthew 24:10}

(11) And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. {Matthew 24:11}

(12) And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. {Matthew 24:12}

(13) But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. {Matthew 24:13}

(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. {Matthew 24:14}

(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}

(2) And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. {Matthew 25:2}

(3) They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: {Matthew 25:3}

(4) But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. {Matthew 25:4}

(6) And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. {Matthew 25:6}

(7) Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. {Matthew 25:7}

(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}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 25:2 "And five of them were wise, and five were foolish."

Five of them were wise, and five were foolish:

Jude 1:19 "These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit."

Matthew 25:3 "They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:"

Matthew 25:4 "But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps."  Oil is symbolic of the Holy Spirit as means of showing your light to others.

Matthew 25:5 "While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept."

Matthew 25:6 "And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him."

Matthew 25:10 "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 25:11 "Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, M Lord M, M Lord M, open to us."

Matthew 25:12 "But he answered and said, Verily M I M say unto you, M I M know you not." They did not have the Holy Spirit or were prepared for Jesus second coming.

Matthew 25:13 "Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the M Son M of man cometh."

(4) And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. {Matthew 25:17}

(5) But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. {Matthew 25:18}

(6) After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. {Matthew 25:19}

(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}

(9) He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. {Matthew 25:22}

(10) His lord said unto him, Well done, 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 25:23}

(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}

(16) For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. {Matthew 25:29}

(17) And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. {Matthew 25:30}

Matthew 25:18 "But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money."

Matthew 25:24 "Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strowed:"

Matthew 25:25 "And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine." No excuse for not using the gifts of God in many different ways for His purpose.

Matthew 25:26 "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 25:27 "Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury." Interest at least.

Matthew 25:28 "Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents."

Matthew 25:29 "For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MISC: JESUS JUDGMENT BY ROMANS {27:1 – 27:26}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(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}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew 27:1 "When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against M Jesus M to put M him M to death:"

Matthew 27:2 "And when they had bound M him M, they led M him M away, and delivered M him M to Pontius Pilate the governor."

Matthew 27:3 "Then Judas, which had betrayed M him M, when he saw that M he M was condemned, [ repented ] himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,"

Matthew 27:4 "Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that." Judas knew his sin was great and the Jewish leadership did not care.

Matthew 27:5 "And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself." Judas commits suicide instead of repenting for his sins.

Matthew 27:6 "And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood."

Matthew 27:7 "And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in." To make pottery and then the holes were used to bury people.

Matthew 27:8 "Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day."

Field was called, The field of blood, unto this day:

Psalms 69:25 "Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents."

Acts 1:19-20 "And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. {20} For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishopric let another take."  Bishopric means his office as overseer.

Matthew 27:9 "Then was [ fulfilled ] that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of M him M that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;"

Thirty pieces of silver the prise of him that was valued:

Zechariah 11:12-13 "And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. {13} And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD."

Matthew 27:10 "And gave them for the potter's field, as the M Lord M appointed me."

Matthew 27:11 "And M Jesus M stood before the governor: and the governor [ asked ] M him M, saying, Art thou the [ King ] of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest."

Matthew 27:12 "And when M he M was accused of the chief priests and elders, M he M answered nothing."

Matthew 27:13 "Then said Pilate unto M him M, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against M thee M?"

Matthew 27:14 "And M he M answered him to never a [ word ]; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly."

He answered him to never a word:

Isaiah 53:7 "He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth."

Matthew 27:15 "Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would."

Matthew 27:16 "And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas."

Matthew 27:17 "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 T Christ T?"

Matthew 27:18 "For he knew that for envy they had delivered M him M."

Matthew 27:19 "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 M him M."

Matthew 27:20 "But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should [ ask ] Barabbas, and destroy M Jesus M."

Matthew 27:21 "The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas."

Matthew 27:22 "Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with M Jesus M which is called T Christ T? They all say unto him, Let M him M be crucified."

Matthew 27:23 "And the governor said, Why, what evil hath M he M done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let M him M be crucified."

Matthew 27:24 "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 27:25 "Then answered all the people, and said, M His M blood be on us, and on our children."

His blood be on us, and on our children:

Deuteronomy 19:10 "That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee."

Matthew 27:26 "Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged M Jesus M, he delivered M him M to be crucified."

Acts 7:52 "Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:"

(2) And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. {Matthew 27:28}

(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}

(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}

(13) And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, {Matthew 27:39}

(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}

(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}

WAY: They crucified Jesus

Matthew 27:35 "And they crucified M him M, and parted M his M garments, casting lots: that it might be [ fulfilled ] which was spoken by the prophet, They parted M my M garments among them, and upon M my M vesture did they cast lots."
