Jesus Is Lord Over the Sabbath Day(Mk. 2:23-28; Lk. 6:1-5) 12 1About that same time, Jesus was walking through the fields of grain on a Sabbatha day. His followers were with him, and they were hungry. So they began to pick the grain and eat it. 2The Phariseesb saw this. They said to Jesus, "Look! Your followers are doing something that is against the law to do on the Sabbath day." 3Jesus said to them, "You have read what Davidc did when he and those with him were hungry. 4David went into God's house. He and those with him ate the bread that was offered to God. It was against the law for David or those with him to eat that bread. Only the priests were allowed to eat it. 5And you have read in the Law of Mosesd that on every Sabbath day the priests at the Templee break the law about the Sabbath day. But they are not wrong for doing that. 6I tell you that there is something here that is greater than the Temple. 7The Scripturesf say, 'I don't want animal sacrifices; I want you to show kindness to peopleg.' You don't really know what that means. If you understood it, you would not judge those who have done nothing wrong. 8"The Son of Manh is Lord over the Sabbath day."
Jesus Heals a Man on the Sabbath Day(Mk. 3:1-6; Lk. 6:6-11) 9Jesus went from there to their synagoguei. 10In the synagogue there was a man with a crippled hand. Some Jews there were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus of doing wrong. So they asked him, "Is it right to heal on the Sabbatha day?"j 11Jesus answered, "If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a ditch on the Sabbath day, you will take the sheep and help it out of the ditch. 12Surely a man is more important than a sheep. So it is right to do good on the Sabbath day." 13Then Jesus said to the man with the crippled hand, "Hold out your hand." The man held out his hand, and it became well again, the same as the other hand. 14But the Phariseesb left and made plans to kill Jesus.
Jesus Is God¡¯s Chosen Servant 15Jesus knew what the Phariseesb were planning. So he left that place, and many people followed him. He healed all who were sick, 16but he warned them not to tell others who he was. 17This was to give full meaning to what Isaiah the prophetk said when he spoke for God:
| 18"Here is my servant, the one I have chosen.
He is the one I love, and I am very pleased with him.
I will fill him with my Spiritl, and he will bring justice to the nations. 19He will not argue or shout; no one will hear his voice in the streets. 20He will not break off even a bent stem of grassm. He will not put out even the weakest flame. He will not give up until he has made justice victorious. 21All people will hope in him."n | |
Jesus¡¯ Power Is From God(Mk. 3:20-30; Lk. 11:14-23; 12:10) 22Then some people brought a man to Jesus. This man was blind and could not talk, because he had a demono inside him. Jesus healed the man, and he could talk and see. 23All the people were amazed at what Jesus did. They said, "Maybe he is the promised Son of Davidp!" 24When the Phariseesb heard this, they said, "This man uses the power of Satanq to force demons out of people. Satan is the ruler of demons." 25Jesus knew what the Pharisees were thinking. So he said to them, "Every kingdom that fights against itself will be destroyed. And every city or family that is divided against itself will not survive. 26So if Satanq forces out his own demonsr, then he is fighting against himself, and his kingdom will not survive. 27You say that I use the power of Satan to force out demons. If that is true, then what power do your people use when they force out demons? So your own people will prove that you are wrong. 28But I use the power of God's Spirit to force out demons, and this shows that God's kingdoms has come to you. 29Whoever wants to enter a strong man's house and steal his things must first tie him up. Then they can steal the things from his house. 30Whoever is not with me is against me. And anyone who does not work with me is working against me. 31"So I tell you, people can be forgiven for every sinful thing they do and for every bad thing they say against God. But anyone who speaks against the Holy Spiritt will not be forgiven. 32You can even speak against the Son of Manh and be forgiven. But anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven - not now or in the future.
What You Do Shows What You Are(Lk. 6:43-45) 33"If you want good fruit, you must make the tree good. If your tree is not good, it will have bad fruit. A tree is known by the kind of fruit it produces. 34You snakes! You are so evil. How can you say anything good? What people say with their mouths comes from what fills their hearts. 35Those who are good have good things saved in their hearts. That's why they say good things. But those who are evil have hearts full of evil, and that's why they say things that are evil. 36I tell you that everyone will have to answer for all the careless things they have said. This will happen on the day of judgment. 37Your words will be used to judge you. What you have said will show whether you are right or whether you are guilty."
Some People Doubt Jesus¡¯ Authority(Mk. 8:11-12; Lk. 11:29-32) 38Then some of the Phariseesb and teachers of the law answered Jesus. They said, "Teacher, we want to see you do a miracleu as a sign from God." 39Jesus answered, "Evil and sinful people are the ones who want to see a miracle as a sign. But no miracle will be done to prove anything to them. The only sign will be the miracle that happened to the prophetk Jonahv. 40Jonah was in the stomach of the big fish for three days and three nights. In the same way, the Son of Manh will be in the grave three days and three nights. 41On the judgment day, you people who live now will be compared with the people from Ninevehw, and they will be witnesses who show how guilty you are. Why do I say this? Because when Jonah preached to those people, they changed their lives. And you are listening to someone greater than Jonah, but you refuse to change! 42"On the judgment day, you people who live now will also be compared with the Queen of the Southx, and she will be a witness who shows how guilty you are. I say this because she traveled from far, far away to listen to Solomon's wise teaching. And I tell you that someone greater than Solomon is right here, but you won't listen!
The Danger of Emptiness(Lk. 11:24-26) 43"When an evil spirit comes out of a person, it travels through dry places looking for a place to rest, but it finds none. 44So it says, 'I will go back to the home I left.' When it comes back, it finds that home still empty. It is all neat and clean. 45Then the evil spirit goes out and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself. They all go and live there, and that person has even more trouble than before. It is the same way with the evil people who live today."
Jesus¡¯ Followers Are His True Family(Mk. 3:31-35; Lk. 8:19-21) 46While Jesus was talking to the people, his mother and brothers stood outside. They wanted to talk to him. 47Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are waiting for you outside. They want to talk to you." 48Jesus answered, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?" 49Then he pointed to his followers and said, "See! These people are my mother and my brothers. 50Yes, anyone who does what my Father in heaven wants is my true brother and sister and mother." aSabbath Saturday, the seventh day of the week and a special day for Israelites or Jews. By God¡¯s command it was set aside as a time for the people to rest and honor God. bPharisee A person who belonged to a Jewish religious group that claimed to follow carefully all Jewish laws and customs. cDavid Israel¡¯s greatest king, who ruled about 1000 years before Christ. Besides being a great military and political leader, he was a deeply spiritual man and a gifted musician, who wrote many of the Psalms. He made plans and arrangements for the building of the first Temple in Jerusalem (¡°the city of David¡±), which was actually completed by his son Solomon. The Scriptures said that a descendant of David would be God¡¯s chosen messiah (king), who would establish an eternal kingdom. For that reason, Jesus is sometimes called ¡°the Son of David.¡± dMoses One of the most important leaders of the Israelites during the time of the Old Testament. God used him to give the people his law, which is often called ¡°the Law of Moses.¡± eTemple The permanent building in Jerusalem that replaced the portable ¡°Holy Tent¡± that was used by the Israelites from the time of their wandering in the desert to the reign of King Solomon, when the first Temple was built. Like the Holy Tent, the Temple was the center of Israelite worship, although provision was made for it to be ¡°a house of prayer for all nations¡± (Isa. 56:7). fScripture Part of the Scriptures or ¡°Holy Writings¡± - the Old Testament. g12:7 Quote from Hos. 6:6. hSon of Man The name that Jesus most often used for himself. The phrase in Hebrew or Aramaic means ¡°human being¡± or ¡°mankind,¡± but in Dan. 7:13-14 it is used of a future savior and king, and this was later understood to be the Messiah, the one God would send to save his people. isynagogue A place in many cities where Jews gathered for prayer, study of the Scriptures, and other public meetings. j12:10 ¡°Is it right ¡¦ day¡± It was against Jewish law to work on the Sabbath day. kprophet A person who speaks a message from God. Many of the books in the Old Testament are messages spoken or written by ¡°the prophets,¡± who were some of those God chose to speak for him. God often used dreams or visions to tell or show his prophets what they should say. lSpirit See ¡°Holy Spirit.¡± m12:20 stem of grass Literally, ¡°reed.¡± nIsaiah 42:1-4 odemon An evil spirit from the devil. pSon of David A name for the Messiah (Christ) because it was prophesied that he would come from the family of David. See ¡°David.¡± q12:24 Satan Literally, ¡°Beelzebul¡± (the devil). Also in verse 27. r12:26 if Satan ¡¦ demons Literally, ¡°if Satan forces out Satan.¡± sGod¡¯s kingdom The ¡°reign¡± or ¡°rule¡± of God over all people who submit to him by accepting Jesus as the Messiah (the appointed king), who represents God¡¯s kingdom on earth. Jesus was the perfect example of submission to the will of God. When people give control of their lives to Jesus, they become part of God¡¯s kingdom and begin to enjoy the blessings he has promised his people from the beginning. (Note that in Matthew this term also translates the Greek word ¡°kingdom¡± by itself or the phrase, ¡°the kingdom of the heavens,¡± which was used by Jews as a way to avoid saying the divine name.) tHoly Spirit Also called the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ, and the Comforter. In union with God and Christ, he does God¡¯s work among people in the world. umiracle An amazing act done by the power of God. v12:39 Jonah The story of Jonah is found in the Old Testament book of Jonah. w12:41 Nineveh City where Jonah preached.
