Jesus Is Lord Over the Sabbath Day(Mt. 12:1-8; Mk. 2:23-28) 6 1One time on a Sabbatha day, Jesus was walking through some grain fields. His followers picked the grain, rubbed it in their hands, and ate it. 2Some Phariseesb said, "Why are you doing that? It is against the Law of Mosesc to do that on the Sabbath day."
3Jesus answered, "You have read about what Davidd did when he and the people with him were hungry. 4David went into God's house. He took the bread that was offered to God and ate it. And he gave some of the bread to the people with him. This was against the Law of Moses, which says that only the priests can eat that bread." 5Then Jesus said to the Pharisees, "The Son of Mane is Lord over the Sabbath day."
Jesus Heals a Man on the Sabbath Day(Mt. 12:9-14; Mk. 3:1-6) 6On another Sabbatha day Jesus went into the synagoguef and taught the people. A man with a crippled right hand was there. 7The teachers of the law and the Phariseesb were watching Jesus closely. They were waiting to see if he would heal on the Sabbath day. They wanted to see him do something wrong so that they could accuse him. 8But Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said to the man with the crippled hand, "Get up and stand here where everyone can see." The man got up and stood there. 9Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, which is the right thing to do on the Sabbath day: to do good or to do evil? Is it right to save a life or to destroy one?"
10Jesus looked around at all of them and then said to the man, "Hold out your hand." The man held out his hand, and it was healed. 11The Pharisees and the teachers of the law got so mad they couldn't think straight. They talked to each other about what they could do to Jesus.
Jesus Chooses His Twelve Apostles(Mt. 10:1-4; Mk. 3:13-19) 12A few days later, Jesus went out to a mountain to pray. He stayed there all night praying to God. 13The next morning he called his followers. He chose twelve of them and called them apostlegs. These are the ones he chose:
| 14Simon (Jesus named him Peter),
Andrew, brother of Peter,
James,
John,
Philip,
Bartholomew,
15Matthew,
Thomas,
James, the son of Alphaeus,
Simon, called the Zealoth,
16Judas, the son of James,
Judas Iscariot (the one who turned against Jesus). | |
Jesus Teaches and Heals the People(Mt. 4:23-25; 5:1-12) 17Jesus and the apostlesg came down from the mountain. Jesus stood on a flat place. A large crowd of his followers was there. Also, there were many people from all around Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast cities of Tyrei and Sidonj. 18They all came to hear Jesus teach and to be healed of their sicknesses. He healed the people who were troubled by evil spirits. 19Everyone was trying to touch him, because power was coming out from him. Jesus healed them all.
20Jesus looked at his followers and said,
| "Great blessings belong to you who are poor. God's kingdomk belongs to you.
21Great blessings belong to you who are hungry now. You will be filled.
Great blessings belong to you who are crying now. You will be happy and laughing. | |
22"People will hate you because you belong to the Son of Mane. They will make you leave their group. They will insult you. They will think it is wrong even to say your name. When these things happen, know that great blessings belong to you. 23You can be happy then and jump for joy, because you have a great reward in heaven. The ancestorsl of those people did the same things to the prophetsm.
| 24"But how bad it will be for you rich people, because you had your easy life.
25How bad it will be for you people who are full now, because you will be hungry.
How bad it will be for you people who are laughing now, because you will be sad and cry. | |
26"How bad it is when everyone says nothing but good about you. Just look at the false prophetsn. Their ancestors always said good things about them.
Love Your Enemies(Mt. 5:38-48; 7:12a) 27"But I say to you people who are listening to me, love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. 28Ask God to bless the people who ask for bad things to happen to you. Pray for the people who are mean to you. 29If someone hits you on the side of your face, let them hit the other side too. If someone takes your coat, don't stop them from taking your shirt too. 30Give to everyone who asks you for something. When someone takes something that is yours, don't ask for it back. 31Do for others what you want them to do for you.
32"If you love only those who love you, should you get any special praise for doing that? No, even sinners love those who love them! 33If you do good only to those who do good to you, should you get any special praise for doing that? No, even sinners do that! 34If you lend things to people, always expecting to get something back, should you get any special praise for that? No, even sinners lend to other sinners so that they can get back the same amount!
35"I'm telling you to love your enemies and do good to them. Lend to people without expecting to get anything back. If you do this, you will have a great reward. You will be children of the Most High God. Yes, because God is good even to the people who are full of sin and not thankful. 36Give love and mercy the same as your Father gives love and mercy.
Be Careful About Criticizing Others(Mt. 7:1-5) 37"Don't judge others, and God will not judge you. Don't condemn others, and you will not be condemned. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven. 38Give to others, and you will receive. You will be given much. It will be poured into your hands - more than you can hold. You will be given so much that it will spill into your lap. The way you give to others is the way God will give to you."
39Jesus told them this story: "Can a blind man lead another blind man? No. Both of them will fall into a ditch. 40Students are not better than their teacher. But when they have been fully taught, they will be like their teacher.
41"Why do you notice the small piece of dust that is in your friend's eye, but you don't see the big piece of wood that is in your own eye? 42You say to your friend, 'Let me get that little piece of dust out of your eye.' Why do you say this? Can't you see that big piece of wood in your own eye? You are a hypocriteo. First, take the wood out of your own eye. Then you will see clearly to get the dust out of your friend's eye.
Only Good Trees Produce Good Fruit(Mt. 7:17-20; 12:34b-35) 43"A good tree does not produce bad fruit. And a bad tree does not produce good fruit. 44Every tree is known by the kind of fruit it produces. You won't find figs on thorny weeds. And you can't pick grapes from thornbushes! 45Good people 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. What people say with their mouths comes from what fills their hearts.
Two Kinds of People(Mt. 7:24-27) 46"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' but you don't do what I say? 47The people who come to me, who listen to my teachings and obey them - I will show you what they are like: 48They are like a man building a house. He digs deep and builds his house on rock. The floods come, and the water crashes against the house. But the flood cannot move the house, because it was built well.
49"But the people who hear my words and do not obey are like a man who builds a house without preparing a foundation. When the floods come, the house falls down easily and is completely destroyed."
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.
cMoses 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.”
dDavid 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.”
eSon 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.
fsynagogue A place in many cities where Jews gathered for prayer, study of the Scriptures, and other public meetings.
gapostle A follower of Jesus chosen to represent him in a special way. During his earthly ministry, Jesus named twelve men as apostles. They had the specific responsibility and authority to represent him and proclaim his message throughout the world. Later, he appeared to Paul and gave him a similar commission, especially to non-Jewish people. Barnabas, Paul’s missionary companion, and James, the brother of Jesus, are also called apostles, as well as several others in the New Testament. Some of these occurrences of the word, however, have the more general sense of “messenger” or “representative.”
hZealot A term used to describe Jews who had an enthusiastic desire or “zeal” to maintain the purity of Judaism - the land, the Temple, observance of the law and the traditions. This desire included a willingness to do whatever necessary to protect this purity against any outside threat, such as Roman control. This kind of spirit eventually brought about the formation of a group of Jewish patriots known as the Zealots. (Note that in Mt. 10:4 and Mk. 3:18 “Zealot” is used to translate the Aramaic term, “Cananaean,” which had the same meaning.)
iTyre A non-Jewish city on the coast of Phoenicia (modern Lebanon).
jSidon A non-Jewish city on the coast of Phoenicia (modern Lebanon).
kGod’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.)
lancestors Literally, “fathers,” meaning a person’s parents, grandparents, and all the other people that person is descended from. In the New Testament it usually refers to people who lived during Old Testament times.
mprophet 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.
nfalse prophet A person who claims to speak for God but does not really speak God’s truth.
ohypocrite A person with wrong motives who pretends to be good.
