The document discusses signs that someone may be like the Pharisees from the Bible. It suggests that a Pharisee is someone who prides themselves on being better than others, values outward appearances over inward character, and is quick to judge others while overlooking their own faults. A Pharisee also claims to have no sin, believes their own traditions supersede God's word, and looks for loopholes in scripture to justify their desires. Ultimately, a Pharisee's words and actions are hypocritical and do not match. The document uses several Bible passages to support each point.
The document discusses the nature and importance of biblical faith. It defines faith as sincere trust and commitment to God, evidenced by obedience to his commands. Noah is presented as the prime biblical example of saving faith, as he obeyed God's instructions to build the ark, despite never having seen rain. True faith results in good works and obedience to God, proving one's salvation and strengthening their relationship with God.
Understanding the Bible Intorduction Session 1techhelper
This document provides an overview of a Sunday study session on studying the Bible. It will cover what the Bible is, why it should be studied, how to study it, and the basic content and structure of the Bible. The study session will use an inductive study method over 10 weeks to examine the Bible book by book, starting with the book of Romans. Key information covered includes that the Bible contains 66 books written by over 40 authors over 1600 years, with the Old Testament originally in Hebrew and Aramaic and the New Testament in Greek.
1. The document discusses the differences between the law and grace. The law was given through Moses and written on stone tablets, but brought only a knowledge of sin.
2. Grace came through Jesus Christ, and is the only way for people to be justified and made righteous. While the law was good, it could not save people from sin or make them perfect.
3. The law was a temporary system given to the Jews alone, but grace is for all people and brings freedom from the curse of the law through faith in Christ.
Os quatro evangelhos apresentam a vida de Cristo de quatro maneiras diferentes, cada um enfatizando um aspecto de sua natureza: Mateus mostra Cristo como o rei messiânico, Marcos como o servo obediente, Lucas como o filho do homem compassivo, e João como o filho de Deus divino. Embora omitam detalhes e eventos diferentes, juntos fornecem um relato completo da vida, milagres, ensinamentos e propósito de Jesus Cristo.
Paulo teve uma conversão dramática no caminho para Damasco, onde deixou de perseguir os cristãos e passou a pregar o evangelho. Ele fundou igrejas em diversas províncias do Império Romano e teve um papel importante na definição da doutrina cristã nos primeiros anos. Paulo escreveu várias cartas que compõem uma parte significativa do Novo Testamento e fornecem detalhes sobre seu ministério e ensinamentos.

The document discusses the biblical feasts of the Lord, including the weekly Sabbath and annual feasts such as Passover and Pentecost. It explains that God gave Moses the dates and names of the feasts and that they are prophetic, pointing to future events. The Sabbath occurs every seventh day while the annual feasts follow a lunar calendar. Jesus observed the Sabbath but taught that acts of mercy and healing were permitted.

The document discusses the fruit of peace according to scripture. It defines peace as relinquishing control to God and finding rest through faith in Jesus despite life's troubles. Anxiety stems from misplaced trust in people or circumstances rather than God. The Bible promises that those who trust in God will know true peace that the world cannot take away.
The document provides commentary and reflections on the Sunday readings for Passion Sunday B, including Isaiah 50:4-7, Psalm 22:8-9, 17-18, 19-20, 23-24, Philippians 2:6-11, and Mark 14:1-15:47. It summarizes key parts of each reading and offers insights. The gospel reading recounts the plotting of Jesus' arrest and the anointing of Jesus in Bethany, eliciting an adverse reaction. The document aims to aid homilies and sharing focused on how the readings present themes of giftedness, non-resistance to violence, obedience, humility, and finding meaning in suffering.

John Chapter 12;1-13 Social Gospel; Attitudes About Christ Jesus; Reclining At The Table; Nard, A Fragrant Perfume; Compassion On The Poor And The Social Gospel; The Name Of God; The Name Above Every Name, Jehovah Witnesses
This document discusses how God speaks to people. It begins by providing several Bible verses that express God's plan to guide and direct people. It then challenges the reader to consider their view of God. The main part of the document lists and describes the most common ways God speaks to people, which include through the Bible, visions, dreams, direct conversation in the mind, prophecy, third persons, circumstances, and strong conviction with peace. Each of these methods of communication from God is supported by one or more Bible verses. The overall document aims to explain how God guides individuals and communicates his will to them.
The document examines evidence for who Jesus Christ claimed to be based on testimony from various sources. It discusses what people in Jesus' time said about him, including that he taught with authority and some believed him to be the Messiah. It also examines what Jesus himself claimed, including that he could forgive sins, was the Son of God and eternal. The document argues that either Jesus' claims were true, making him the Son of God, or he was a liar based on the eyewitness testimony and fulfilled prophecies about the Messiah.
O livro de Atos dos Apóstolos narra o estabelecimento e desenvolvimento da igreja após a ascensão de Jesus, sob a liderança do Espírito Santo. Foi escrito por Lucas para Teófilo, relatando a expansão da mensagem do evangelho de Jesus Cristo pelos apóstolos Pedro e Paulo ao redor do mundo da época romana.
Why do you think Paul used the metaphor of putting on “the whole armor of God” when exhorting the believer to be “strong in the Lord and in the power of His might”? Is the "armor of God" more like that of a Roman warrior or that of the Jewish High Priest? Explain. What is truth? How does truth enable the Christian to “stand against” and “withstand” the lies of Satan, the cunning craftiness of the world and the deceitfulness of our own flesh? Why are Christian instructed to “put on the whole armor of God”? Why are we commanded to “stand firm” and “stand against”? What happens when we fail to “stand”?
O documento discute a origem e dinâmica do profetismo bíblico. Apresenta os profetas antigos como indivíduos ou grupos que aconselhavam reis, enquanto os profetas posteriores pregavam ao povo sobre o castigo e esperança. Relatos de vocação profética geralmente incluem uma manifestação divina, missão e confirmação com um sinal. A dinâmica do profetismo envolve anunciar e denunciar com base na experiência de Deus e do povo.
Many of us have an endless list of questions when it comes to Bible prophecy. It is quite possible that the more we study, the more confusing it all becomes.

Lição 11 - A Igreja no Poder do Espírito SantoÉder Tomé
1. O documento discute a importância da ação do Espírito Santo para o sucesso da Igreja, usando como exemplo a Igreja de Antioquia. 2. A Igreja de Antioquia possuía profetas, doutores e missionários em seu meio. 3. Uma Igreja saudável deve se comprometer com o ensino, a comunhão e a missão.
Paul wrote a letter to Philemon, a fellow Christian, to request that he forgive his runaway slave Onesimus. Paul argues that Onesimus has become a believer and should be accepted back not as a slave but as a brother in Christ. He asks Philemon to receive Onesimus in a spirit of Christian love and forgiveness so that their relationship may be reconciled through Christ.
This document contains passages from the Gospel of John that discuss Jesus' metaphor of himself as the true vine. It contains 7 "I AM" statements by Jesus where he identifies himself as the bread of life, light of the world, gate for the sheep, good shepherd, resurrection and life, way and truth and life, and true vine. The passages emphasize that those who remain in Jesus will bear much fruit but those who do not remain in him will wither and be burned.
This lesson from the Gospel of Matthew discusses Jesus' early ministry and key events:
- John the Baptist preached repentance in the wilderness and pointed to Jesus as the Messiah.
- Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan for 40 days. He overcame every temptation by relying on Scripture.
- Jesus began his ministry in Galilee, calling disciples like Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John to follow him and become "fishers of men." They immediately left their work to follow him fully.
John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus and baptized him when he was 30 years old. After his baptism, Jesus went into the desert where he fasted for 40 days and was tempted. After overcoming temptation, Jesus began preaching that the Kingdom of Heaven was near. He called Peter and Andrew to follow him and said he would make them fishers of men.

Jesus' mission, as shown in the Old Testament passages of Leviticus and Isaiah and fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus' own ministry, was to bring spiritual and physical freedom to the oppressed. Isaiah prophesied that God would bring a year of jubilee, restoring lands and liberating those in captivity or hardship. Jesus began his ministry by teaching in synagogues and reading from Isaiah, proclaiming that the prophecy was fulfilled through his work of preaching good news to the poor, release to captives, and comfort to the afflicted. His mission focused on meeting both spiritual and material needs as God's way of caring for those who suffered.
This document provides a summary of the ministry of Jesus as recorded in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It outlines the key events of Jesus' public ministry in chronological order, including his preaching, healing miracles, choosing of disciples, teachings, and prophecies of his coming passion. The summary identifies the corresponding passages in the three gospels for each event and lists relevant keywords that describe the main themes.

12 Jesus Baptism, Temptations And Public Ministryfsweng
The document summarizes several parts of the Gospels related to Jesus' baptism and time in the desert. It discusses the significance of Jesus' baptism in identifying with sinners, being anointed by the Holy Spirit, and the proclamation of him being the Son of God. It then covers the three temptations Jesus faced in the desert and their parallels to failures of the Israelites. Jesus' rejection in Nazareth after proclaiming his mission is also summarized.
This document discusses how to become a "World Class Christian" by shifting one's thinking from a worldly perspective to a global, eternal perspective focused on fulfilling the Great Commission. It encourages moving from self-centered thinking to being mission-focused by getting involved locally and globally through acts like praying for other nations, going on short-term mission trips, and using resources to help bring others to Christ rather than for self-gratification. Excuses about age, skills or language are dismissed, and embracing suffering and sacrifice in service to God's mission is emphasized.
During the early stages of Jesus' ministry in Galilee:
1) Jesus began preaching that the kingdom of God was near and calling disciples like Peter, Andrew, James, and John to follow him. 2) He demonstrated his authority over demons and diseases by performing many exorcisms and healings, which amazed the crowds. 3) He controversially healed on the Sabbath and ate with sinners, challenging Jewish traditions and authorities. 4) Jesus formally called the twelve apostles who would be his closest followers as he traveled throughout Galilee teaching and healing.
The document summarizes Jesus' teaching as he traveled to Jerusalem, including teachings on divorce and blessing children. It then describes Jesus' encounter with a rich young ruler, in which Jesus tells the man he must sell his possessions and give to the poor to inherit eternal life. The disciples are amazed at Jesus' words about how hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God. Jesus reassures them that with God all things are possible.
This document summarizes and analyzes several passages from the Gospel of John, including Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding in Cana, his conversation with Nicodemus about being "born again", and his encounter with a Samaritan woman at a well. It discusses the locations and chronology of events, cultural and religious contexts, and themes around Jesus revealing himself as the Messiah and bringing about a new spiritual reality that transcends old rituals and systems.
1. The document discusses Jesus' ministry launch as described in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. It explains that after his baptism and temptation, Jesus began his ministry by calling his first disciples to "follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
2. A key part of Jesus' ministry launch was proclaiming the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy of the Messiah. Jesus read from Isaiah 61 which described his mission to "proclaim good news to the poor," "proclaim liberty to the captives," and "recovery of sight to the blind."
3. The document discusses what these parts of Jesus' mission entailed, such as spiritual rather than financial poverty, the freedom
John the Baptist began his ministry preaching repentance and baptizing people in the River Jordan. Jesus began his ministry after John and was baptized by him in the Jordan River, where he saw the Holy Spirit descend on him in the form of a dove and heard God declare him to be his beloved Son. Jesus was then led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where he fasted for 40 days and was tempted three times by the devil, quoting scripture each time to resist temptation.
The document discusses Jesus' use of parables in the synoptic gospels. It defines parables as metaphorical stories meant to involve listeners and challenge them to change perspective. Jesus used various types of parables that were a familiar genre, to indirectly teach about the kingdom of God. While parables don't state the meaning directly, their purpose is to move people to decision or action by striking the imagination. The document examines specific parables and themes found in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke.
The document provides an overview of Jesus' parables of the kingdom of heaven. It discusses what parables are, differences between parables, similes and metaphors. It then examines several specific parables Jesus told, including the parables of the sower, wheat and tares, and mustard seed. It analyzes the differences between the kingdom of God and kingdom of heaven. Finally, it outlines some additional parables and how they instruct believers on how to conduct themselves in the kingdom of heaven.
The document provides information about Lent and the Easter Triduum. It discusses that Lent is the 40-day period before Easter focusing on self-examination and fasting. Ash Wednesday recognizes mortality and repentance through ashes. The number 40 symbolizes testing and renewal. The Easter Triduum commemorates Jesus' last supper, trial, crucifixion, time in the tomb, and resurrection. John 19 scripture discusses Jesus' pierced side and fulfillment of prophecy. The Easter Vigil celebrates Christ's resurrection as the high point of the year.
An introduction to a study of Jesus' Parables. Literary tools such as metaphors, similes and allegory are defined and distinguished from a parable itself. Jesus purpose for using parables is also discussed along with a 5 step approach to analyzing a parable.
Jesus came to fulfill, not to cause the Law to fail. Since Jesus accomplished His mission and fulfilled the Law, no part of it is presently in effect. We are under the Law of Christ today and we must respect and observe it in its totality. - Mat 5:17-20 - April 15, 2012 - MP3 / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF

Paul gave a speech defending his faith to a hostile crowd in Jerusalem. He recounted his history of persecuting Christians before his conversion, when Jesus appeared to him on the road to Damascus and commissioned him to preach to the Gentiles. When the crowd objected violently, Paul had to be rescued by Roman soldiers. His speech paralleled the unjust treatment and trials of both Jesus and Paul by their own people. The core disagreement was over whether Gentile Christians needed to become Jews first by following Jewish customs and laws.
Paul defended his faith before an angry Jewish crowd in Jerusalem after being accused of defiling the temple. He recounted his conversion experience on the road to Damascus when Jesus appeared to him and called him to preach to the Gentiles. When the crowd heard this, they rejected Paul's testimony and demanded he be killed. The Roman tribune then ordered Paul's examination by flogging to determine why the crowd was shouting against him. The document provides background information on Paul's subsequent trials before various authorities and parallels between Jesus' and Paul's sufferings. It also discusses the issue of Jewish Christians expecting Gentile believers to follow Jewish customs like circumcision.
Mark 6:7-32 describes Jesus sending the twelve disciples out in pairs to preach, teach, heal, and cast out demons. Their ministry is met with both acceptance and rejection in various towns. King Herod hears reports of Jesus' ministry and believes Jesus is John the Baptist resurrected. Herod had previously beheaded John for condemning Herod's marriage. The disciples return to Jesus and report on their mission. Jesus takes them away to rest, as large crowds were demanding their attention.
Jesus returns to his hometown of Nazareth and teaches at the local synagogue on the Sabbath. He reads from the prophet Isaiah and declares that the scripture is fulfilled in him. The people are amazed but question if he is truly the Messiah since he is just the son of Joseph. Jesus tells stories from Elijah and Elisha's time that show prophets are often rejected in their hometown. The people become furious with Jesus and try to throw him off a cliff, but he escapes.
This is a study of Jesus being sarcastic. Some record 4 times he used sarcasm, but others have a longer list. He used this type of language in a humorous way, and also in a very serious way. Read and see for yourself.
This document summarizes a passage from the Book of John where Jesus heals a man born blind on the Sabbath, angering the Pharisees. When questioned, the man defends Jesus and his faith in Him grows. The Pharisees try to discredit the story, but the man insists Jesus must be from God to perform such a miracle. Frustrated, the Pharisees excommunicate the man. The summary emphasizes how the man's testimony strengthened despite opposition and how excommunication ultimately benefited his faith.
Craving Crumbs - part of the Marked As Disciples series - was originally preached on April 24, 2016 at Crosspoint Bible Church in Omaha, NE by Pastor Kevin Stone.

Paul faced many trials in Jerusalem, both within the church due to accusations about his teachings, and from Jewish leaders who stirred up crowds against him. When defending himself before these crowds and the Sanhedrin, Paul shared his testimony of encountering Jesus and being converted, but was interrupted when he spoke of preaching to Gentiles. To save Paul from being killed by an oath-bound group of Jews, his nephew warned Roman authorities who then transferred Paul's custody to Caesarea for further legal proceedings under Roman law. Throughout these difficulties, God continued to encourage Paul and assure him of his mission to also testify about Jesus in Rome.
- Jesus knew that Judas would betray him, as it was foretold in scripture. At the last supper, Jesus troubled by what would happen, told the disciples one of them would betray him. He identified Judas by giving him a piece of bread dipped in broth. After receiving the bread, Satan entered Judas and he went out to betray Jesus to the chief priests. Though Jesus loved Judas, his betrayal was part of God's plan to fulfill scripture and bring about salvation for mankind.
- Jesus' brothers urged Him to go to the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem to promote His ministry, but Jesus said His time had not yet come. He later went in secret. At the feast, Jesus taught in the temple courts, angering the Jewish leaders by claiming His teachings came from God. On the last day, Jesus offered living water to anyone who believes in Him, referring to the Holy Spirit. The people were divided in their responses to Jesus.
The document provides an overview of Jesus' ministry in Galilee according to the synoptic gospels. It discusses Jesus teaching in parables, performing miracles, and sending out the twelve disciples. Key parables described include the sower, the seed growing secretly, the mustard seed and yeast, the weeds and the net. The document also notes Jesus withdrew from Galilee to critique Jewish traditions before his journey to Jerusalem.
1. Saul was persecuting Christians and seeking to arrest them in Damascus with letters from the high priest.
2. On the road to Damascus, Saul saw a bright light and heard Jesus speaking to him, leaving him temporarily blind.
3. Ananias was directed by God to visit Saul and pray for him, restoring his sight and filling him with the Holy Spirit, and Saul began preaching about Jesus in Damascus.
A verse by verse commentary on LUKE chapter 22 dealing with JUDAS agreeing to betray JESUS. Then come the LAST SUPPER. Then Jesus prays on the Mount of Olives and then is arrested. Peter disowns Jesus, and the soldiers mock JESUS. it ends with Jesus before Pilate and Herod.
This document provides an overview and analysis of Matthew 13:53-58 and parallel passages about Jesus returning to his hometown of Nazareth and facing rejection from the people there. It notes how Jesus grew up among the people of Nazareth but they did not recognize or accept him as the Messiah. Jesus confronted them with the truth, but they were unwilling to face him due to disbelief and denial. The document encourages readers to make sure they are truly facing Jesus themselves and ready to follow him fully, rather than risk missing out or rejecting him as the people of Nazareth did.
The document summarizes the six trials of Jesus before his crucifixion according to the gospels. It provides context about the timeline and charges at each trial. The first two trials were before Annas and Caiaphas, the high Jewish priests, where Jesus was charged with blasphemy. The third trial was before the Sanhedrin council where he was found guilty. The charges were then switched to treason so Jesus could be tried under Roman law by Pilate, hoping for the death penalty. Pilate did not find Jesus guilty but the crowds insisted, leading to the sixth trial.
The document discusses Jesus' identity as the Messiah in the Gospel of Mark. It begins by explaining how Peter identifies Jesus as the Messiah in Mark 8:29, but Jesus clarifies that his messianic role is different than what was expected - he must suffer and die. Peter does not accept this, as suffering was not part of the anticipated Messiah.
Later, during Jesus' trial before Pilate, Pilate asks if Jesus is "the King of the Jews." Jesus responds cryptically, implying the question needs more clarity. The document then examines how Mark uses literary devices like seeing and hearing to gradually reveal Jesus' identity to the characters and readers until his death. It analyzes several healing stories and
The document describes Saul's persecution of early Christians and his dramatic conversion experience on the road to Damascus, where Jesus appeared to him and called him to spread the gospel. It then summarizes Paul's discussion with Epicurean and Stoic philosophers in Athens, where he established common ground by referencing their altar to an unknown god, challenged their views of God, and called them to repent and turn to Jesus, who was resurrected, proving him to be the divine Savior. A few people became believers, including Dionysius.
Similar to 202, Life of Christ, section 7c: Later Galilean ministry, withdrawal (20)
This document discusses the importance of making disciples who make disciples based on the models of Jesus and Paul. It notes that while many churches believe in and teach discipleship, few actually implement disciple-making processes like intentional relationships and accountability. The document cites examples of churches that grew when they shifted from a program-based to a relationship-based discipleship approach and created clear spiritual pathways expecting life transformation. It encourages pastors to invest in discipling relationships above all other activities.
It is common to refer to the process of maturing as a disciple as spiritual formation. Here, based upon work by Greg Ogden, I give a four stage process for growing into maturity, and fruitfulness, as a follower of King Jesus.
Jesus expected a process of change, growth and development in the life of his followers. Many writers suggest a three or four stage process. A four stage process is outlined here, along with personal challenge / application.
Disciple-Making, according to Greg Ogden requires at least tow major factors: Internalisation and Multiplication. This presentation adds to his ideas with some scripture and illustrative ideas challenging followers of Christ to become, and make, disciples in his image.
Name someone...who has impacted your life.
Disiple-making is a deliberate act requiring discipline and dedication
“Discipleship is all about living the life together rather than just one structured meeting each week” Chan
This document provides a summary of the New Testament story in four hours. It is divided into three time periods in the life of Jesus: 1) His first 30 years before ministry, 2) His three years of public ministry in and around Israel, and 3) His crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. The first section focuses on Jesus' birth and early life, including key details from the nativity story presented in the gospels of Matthew and Luke.
This document provides an overview and summary of key events and people in the Old Testament from Eden to Israel entering the Promised Land. It discusses 4 main moves: 1) From Eden to Israel; 2) From Israel to Egypt; 3) 40 years in the wilderness; 4) Entering the Promised Land. Key points covered include Creation, the Fall, Noah, Abraham, Joseph in Egypt, Moses and the Exodus, receiving the 10 Commandments at Mt. Sinai, and Joshua leading the people into Canaan.
The document provides guidance on discipleship and disciple-making. It begins by defining a disciple as someone who is following Jesus, being changed by Jesus, and committed to Jesus' mission. It then discusses the importance of discipleship, noting that disciples are meant to be world-changers and that one-on-one discipleship is the most effective method, replicating itself over time. The document concludes by outlining models of discipleship, including sharing the gospel, connecting with others, helping them minister, and ultimately making them disciples who can repeat the process.
The document summarizes the biblical story of Babel in Genesis 11, where all humanity spoke one language but decided to build a tower to make themselves famous. God responded by confusing their languages, scattering them across the earth and enforcing his command to spread out. It also discusses the origins of different ethnicities and races. The next section introduces Abraham, called at age 75 to leave Haran and given promises by God of land, descendants and blessing through his offspring. The covenant with Abraham sets the agenda for the rest of the Bible by being fulfilled through Christ.
The document outlines key events in the biblical story of humanity's origins and early history:
1. God creates the universe and places the first man and woman in the Garden of Eden.
2. Adam and Eve rebel against God and are banished from the Garden, introducing sin and brokenness into the world.
3. As sin and death spread, God brings a flood to wipe out most of humanity while saving Noah, his family, and two of every kind of animal on an ark.
This document provides an overview of the upcoming "The Old Testament Story" learning and development series starting on September 2nd. It outlines the 4 main movements of the Old Testament story from Eden to Israel, Israel in the promised land, Israel to exile and return. Key details include the main people, events, and sections covered within the 11 most important books that make up 95% of the Old Testament narrative.
The Book of Ruth is included in the third division, or the Writings, of the Hebrew Bible. In most Christian canons it is treated as one of the historical books and placed between Judges and 1 Samuel.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

3. The synoptic gospels continue to deal with
Jesus’ ministry topically at this time - and
that is the simplest way for us to follow:
Parables Mk 4:1-34
Miracles Mk 4:34-6:6, 6:30-56
Sending out the 12 will be discussed
afterwards and the death of JTB has already
been dealt with
Withdrawal from Galilee Mk 7:1-9:50 -
critique of Jewish traditions (going north and
east) and then brief return before the journey
to Jerusalem

4. Almost all of Jesus’
ministry took place
within the borders of
Israel
Jesus also traveled to
the region of Tyre and
Sidon, where he
healed a Gentile
woman’s daughter,
and to the region of
Decapolis, where he
healed many people

At Caesarea Philippi
Peter made his
confession “You are
the Christ, the son of
the living God,”
Sunday, 22 September 13
6. - most of Jesus Galilean ministry is complete
- he now withdraws to spend time in the
provinces in the north and east
- he will return to Galilee, however the
synoptics still have further reports of him
departing and returning on other occasions
- during this time Peter’s confession is heard
and is a turning point as Jesus then heads
towards ‘rejection’

Sunday, 22 September 13
9. The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who
had come from Jerusalem gathered round Jesus 2 and
saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that
were defiled, that is, unwashed.3 (The Pharisees and
all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a
ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the
elders. 4 When they come from the market-place they
do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many
other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers
and kettles.[a])
5 So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked
Jesus, ‘Why don’t your disciples live according to the
tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with
defiled hands?’
Sunday, 22 September 13
10. 6 He replied, ‘Isaiah was right when he prophesied
about you hypocrites; as it is written:
‘“These people honour me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
7 They worship me in vain;
their teachings are merely human rules.”[b]
8 You have let go of the commands of God and are
holding on to human traditions.’
9 And he continued, ‘You have a fine way of setting
aside the commands of God in order to observe[c]
your own traditions! 10 For Moses said, “Honour
your father and mother,”[d] and, “Anyone who curses
their father or mother is to be put to death.”
Sunday, 22 September 13
11. 11 But you say that if anyone declares that what might
have been used to help their father or mother is
Corban (that is, devoted to God) – 12 then you no
longer let them do anything for their father or mother.
13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition
that you have handed down. And you do many things
like that.’
14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and
said,‘Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.
15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going
into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that
defiles them.’ [f]
Sunday, 22 September 13
12. 17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house,
his disciples asked him about this parable.18 ‘Are you so
dull?’ he asked. ‘Don’t you see that nothing that enters a
person from the outside can defile them? 19 For it
doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and
then out of the body.’ (In saying this, Jesus declared all
foods clean.)
20 He went on: ‘What comes out of a person is what
defiles them. 21 For it is from within, out of a person’s
heart, that evil thoughts come – sexual immorality, theft,
murder,22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness,
envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils
come from inside and defile a person.’
Sunday, 22 September 13
13. -Jewish leaders had come
from Jerusalem to criticise
Jesus for his stance on
ceremonial cleanliness and
handwashing
- these were part of the oral
law but not the Torah
- Jesus dramatically breaks
from Jewish theology:
Sunday, 22 September 13
14. - he criticises the practice of
corban, which is probably
the dedication of money to
God for use in the temple
after your death, but you
could still gain income from
the funds but no one else
could even if they were in
great need
Sunday, 22 September 13
15. - Jesus told Pharisees that
they had rejected the
commandment of God
- Jesus gives the proof by
citing their use of “Corban.”
- Moses had instructed God’s
people to “honor their father
and mother” (Exodus 20:12)
- Pharisees negated that
command by teaching that
they could give money to the
temple in lieu of helping their
parents in need.
Sunday, 22 September 13
16. - saying, “It is Corban” would
exempt a person from his
responsibility to his parents. -
so the Pharisees took a
legitimate Corban offering and
used it in an illegitimate and
devious way to defraud their
parents and nullify the Law
- the Pharisees practiced ritual
without reality, righteousness
and relationship
Sunday, 22 September 13
17. - Jesus taught that, without a
personal relationship with
God, ritual profits nothing
- and the traditions of man
should never usurp the
authority of God’s Word.

18. “the principle here had the
potential of abolishing the whole
OT Law”
- Mark adds verse 19, which
appears to have been missed at the
time,
(Thus he declared all foods clean.)
- Consider Peter and his thrice
repeated vision before he
understood about Cornelius and
the Gentiles
Matthew 15 adds, Let them alone;
they are blind guides. And if the blind
lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

19. The syrophoenician
woman’s daughter
27 ‘First let the children eat all they
want,’ he told her,‘for it is not right to
take the children’s bread and toss it to
the dogs.’
28 ‘Lord,’ she replied, ‘even the dogs
under the table eat the children’s
crumbs.’
29 Then he told her, ‘For such a reply,
you may go; the demon has left your
daughter.’
30 She went home and found her child
lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
Sunday, 22 September 13
20. The syrophoenician
woman’s daughter
Mk 7:24-30 24 Jesus left that place
and went to the vicinity of Tyre.[g] He
entered a house and did not want
anyone to know it; yet he could not
keep his presence secret.25 In fact, as
soon as she heard about him, a woman
whose little daughter was possessed by
an impure spirit came and fell at his
feet. 26 The woman was a Greek, born
in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus
to drive the demon out of her daughter.
Sunday, 22 September 13
21. Some suggest this is
foreshadowing the ministry to
the Gentiles
- a Gentile woman approaches
Jesus, at first he declines to help
- why?
- Matt 15:24
- Jesus calls the woman and her
daughter “dogs” - a usual way
for Jews to think of Gentiles
- she responds cleverly and is
praised for her faith, and
receives the healing she was
asking for

that?
Why didn’t he
simply heal the
girl
immediately?
Sunday, 22 September 13
23. - was Jesus simply going to the
Jew first then the Gentile - cf Rom
1:16?
- is Jesus aware of the woman’s
faith and simply trying to draw it
out of her?
- Galileans disliked the way the
Syrian provincial leaders handled
governmental money and some
suggest Jesus is simply turning the
tables on the woman
- Elijah had also aided a non-
Jewish woman in this area, 1Ki 17

25. Healing a deaf mute
man Mk 7:31ff
31 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went
through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into
the region of the Decapolis.[h]32 There some people
brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly
talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd,
Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he
spat and touched the man’s tongue.
Sunday, 22 September 13
26. Healing a deaf mute
man Mk 7:31ff
34 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said
to him,‘Ephphatha!’ (which means‘Be opened!’).
35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue
was loosed and he began to speak plainly.
36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But
the more he did so, the more they kept talking about
it.37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. ‘He
has done everything well,’ they said. ‘He even makes
the deaf hear and the mute speak.’
Sunday, 22 September 13
27. 3 times Jesus uses spit / saliva
as part of a healing miracle -
Mk 7:33, 8:23, Jn 9:6
- the obvious question is,
Why did Jesus spit?
- some say it is a way to tell
those present he is about to
heal
- medical practice and magic
had parallels in such action

29. Feeding the 4000
Mk 8:1-21
During those days another large crowd gathered. Since
they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him
and said, 2 ‘I have compassion for these people; they
have already been with me three days and have nothing
to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they will collapse
on the way, because some of them have come a long
distance.’
4 His disciples answered, ‘But where in this remote
place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?’
5 ‘How many loaves do you have?’ Jesus asked.
‘Seven,’ they replied.
Sunday, 22 September 13
30. Feeding the 4000
Mk 8:1-21
During those days another large crowd gathered. Since
they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him
and said, 2 ‘I have compassion for these people; they
have already been with me three days and have nothing
to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they will collapse
on the way, because some of them have come a long
distance.’
4 His disciples answered, ‘But where in this remote
place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?’
5 ‘How many loaves do you have?’ Jesus asked.
‘Seven,’ they replied.
Sunday, 22 September 13
31. Feeding the 4000
Mk 8:1-21
6 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. When
he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he
broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute
to the people, and they did so. 7 They had a few small
fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the
disciples to distribute them. 8 The people ate and were
satisfied. Afterwards the disciples picked up seven
basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 9 About
four thousand were present. After he had sent them
away, 10 he got into the boat with his disciples and went
to the region of Dalmanutha.
Sunday, 22 September 13
32. Feeding the 4000
Mk 8:1-21
11 The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To
test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven.12 He
sighed deeply and said, ‘Why does this generation ask
for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it.’
13 Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed
to the other side.
Sunday, 22 September 13
33. - as Jesus returns to Dalmanutha
(Magadan) it is assumed he was in
Gentile territory across the Lake
- similar to 5000 apart from the
great physical hunger expressed,
people could collapse
- why did the disciples act so
thick? see v 4
- abundant provision indicates
Jesus as Messiah
- Is Jesus repeating a previous
miracle for a Gentile crowd?
- 7 baskets collected - 7 is the
number of completeness
Sunday, 22 September 13
34. - immediately upon
Jesus’ return to Galilee
the Pharisees ask for a
sign from heaven 11-13
- presumably they had
heard about the 400
being fed so why ask?
- Jesus refuses - can
such signs be done on
demand? Is asking for a
sign simply an excuse for
not having faith?
Sunday, 22 September 13
36. - the disciples also
misinterpret Jesus’
warning about the yeast
of the Pharisees - it
appears still they do not
recognise who Jesus is
and his ability to meet
physical and spiritual
needs
Sunday, 22 September 13
37. Healing the blind man
in Bethsaida Mk 8:22-26
Sunday, 22 September 13
38. Healing the blind man
in Bethsaida Mk 8:22-26
22 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a
blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took
the blind man by the hand and led him outside the
village. When he had spat on the man’s eyes and put his
hands on him, Jesus asked, ‘Do you see anything?’
24 He looked up and said, ‘I see people; they look like
trees walking around.’
25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes.
Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and
he saw everything clearly. 26 Jesus sent him home,
saying,‘Don’t even go into[a] the village.’
Sunday, 22 September 13
39. - first picture is an overall view of
the modern sight of Bethsaida
- Bethsaida was a fishing village:
a fishermans house was
excavated: an artists
reconstruction with the original
stonework below
-Bethsaida is mentioned in the
Gospels more often than any
other town except Jerusalem and

- goes out of the village
- saliva and then laid hands on him
- then prayed again and full sight is restored
- commanded not to go back into the village - why?
- suggested comparison of spiritual blindness of
disciples and of the man - healing comes in stages
for both
Sunday, 22 September 13
43. Peter’s confession
Mk 8:27-9:1
27 Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages
around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked
them,‘Who do people say I am?’
28 They replied, ‘Some say John the Baptist; others
say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.’
29 ‘But what about you?’ he asked. ‘Who do you say
I am?’
Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah.’
30 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.
Sunday, 22 September 13
44. Matt 16: 13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi,
he asked his disciples,‘Who do people say the Son of Man is?’
14 They replied, ‘Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah;
and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’
15 ‘But what about you?’ he asked. ‘Who do you say I am?’
16 Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the
living God.’
17 Jesus replied, ‘Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this
was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in
heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter,[b] and on this rock
I will build my church, and the gates of Hades[c] will not
overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of
heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be[d] bound in heaven,
and whatever you loose on earth will be[e] loosed in heaven.’
20 Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was
the Messiah.
Sunday, 22 September 13
49. Caesarea Philippi was
located about 25 miles
north of the Sea of
Galilee, 1,150 feet above
sea level, on the
southwest slope of
Mount Hermon.
So called (Philippi) to
distinguish it from other
cities of the same name,
especially his father's
Caesarea It became the
administrative capital of
his kingdom.
Sunday, 22 September 13
50. This is the pivotal point in the
ministry of Jesus
- Caesarea Philippi was the centre
for the worship of the Greek god
Pan
- CP was the new name of
Paneas, now named after the
emperor and Herod Philip
- the disciples now have clarity
- Jesus is not merely a prophet of
old - he is the Messiah!
Sunday, 22 September 13
51. - he will build his church, though
debate still rages as to what the
“rock” is
- Roman Catholics have argued it
is Peter, Luther argued it is Christ
- the middle ground is suggesting
that the confession of Jesus as the
Christ was the rock
Blomberg suggests that it is
obviously Peter based on the pun
using his name, petra - and a
further rocky reference,
stumbling stone v23, is still to
come

- are the “keys of the kingdom”
simply a declaration of our ability
(following peters lead) to declare
salvation to all mankind?

57. 31 He then began to teach them
that the Son of Man must suffer
many things and be rejected by the
elders, the chief priests and the
teachers of the law, and that he
must be killed and after three days
rise again. 32 He spoke plainly
about this, and Peter took him aside
and began to rebuke him.
33 But when Jesus turned and
looked at his disciples, he rebuked
Peter. ‘Get behind me, Satan!’ he
said.‘You do not have in mind the
concerns of God, but merely human
concerns.’
Sunday, 22 September 13
58. Peter still does not understand
the kind of messiah Jesus will
be - so Jesus tells him (and the
others)
- 3 declarations, “passion
predictions,” of his forthcoming
death - Mk 8:31, 9:30, 10:32
- Peter tries to rebuke Jesus
and so Jesus rebukes him
- Peter is not possessed by the
devil, he states the same agenda
- Jesus teaches (34-38) on true
discipleship
Sunday, 22 September 13
59. 34 Then he called the crowd to him
along with his disciples and
said:‘Whoever wants to be my disciple
must deny themselves and take up their
cross and follow me.35 For whoever
wants to save their life[b] will lose it,
but whoever loses their life for me and
for the gospel will save it. 36 What
good is it for someone to gain the whole
world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or
what can anyone give in exchange for
their soul?38 If anyone is ashamed of
me and my words in this adulterous
and sinful generation, the Son of Man
will be ashamed of them when he
comes in his Father’s glory with the
holy angels.’

63. The Transfiguration
Mk9:1ff
And he said to them,‘Truly I tell you, some who are standing
here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of
God has come with power.’
2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him
and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone.
There he was transfigured before them.3 His clothes became
dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach
them. 4 And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses,
who were talking with Jesus.
5 Peter said to Jesus, ‘Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let
us put up three shelters – one for you, one for Moses and one
for Elijah.’ 6 (He did not know what to say, they were so
frightened.)

64. 7 Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came
from the cloud: ‘This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!’
8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw
anyone with them except Jesus.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them
orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of
Man had risen from the dead.10 They kept the matter to
themselves, discussing what ‘rising from the dead’ meant.
11 And they asked him, ‘Why do the teachers of the law say
that Elijah must come first?’
12 Jesus replied, ‘To be sure, Elijah does come first, and
restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man
must suffer much and be rejected? 13 But I tell you, Elijah has
come, and they have done to him everything they wished, just
as it is written about him.’

65. - suffering and death precede permanent glory
but this is a foretaste of what it will look like
- does this event help Jesus as he approaches
the cross, does it enable him to focus through,
and in spite of, the pain?
- does it help the believers (esp. Peter) in
hearing a voice from heaven with a command
to listen to Jesus?
- obvious parallel with Moses (the prophet
and inaugurator of a new covenant) given the
Law on Sinai
1. Jesus is on a mountain
Sunday, 22 September 13
66. 2. Hears a voice from heaven
(cf baptism/sonship)
3. Enveloping cloud of God’s
glory
4. Talk is of Jesus departure
(exodus) Lk 9:31
5. Peter suggests booths as in
wilderness wanderings
6. Both Moses and Ej had
mountaintop theophanies
7. Disciples must listen to
Jesus - Dt 18:15-18
Sunday, 22 September 13
67. - the disciples do not fully
understand - so Peter wants to
prolong things by building
tents
- they ask about Ej
- as they descend they meet
disciples who cannot cast a
demon out - Mk 6:7ff - they
are still part of an unbelieving
and prayerless (v29)
generation
- Matt 17:20f adds that even a
little faith brings power
Sunday, 22 September 13
68. Mark 9:30-50
Following another
prediction of his death
Jesus once again needs to
teach about true
discipleship - will these
guys ever understand?!
Matt 17:24-27 focusses
upon the temple tax
- an annual half shekel tax
was paid to help with the
upkeep of the temple in
Jerusalem
Sunday, 22 September 13
69. - Jesus says he and his
followers should be
exempt (he rejects Jewish
civil and ritual law)
- he chooses not to cause
offence (and no hardship
to anyone) so pays by the
unusual method of taking
a coin from the mouth of a
fish
