7.2: Jesus' Final Visit To Jerusalem
JESUS FROM SEVEN SOURCES Copyright © 2000 - Kenneth Ray Taylor Chapter 7: Jesus’ Final Visit To Jerusalem 141. Jesus’ Authority Questioned [Mat 21:23-27; Mark 11:27-33; & Luk 20:1-8]
Mark 11:27 [ Mk ] And they come again to Jerusalem:
[Mt Mk Lk] and [ Lk] it came to pass, [that] [Mt ] when he was come into the temple [ Lk] on one of those days, [Mt Mk Lk] as he was [ Mk ] walking, [ ] [and] [Mt Lk] teaching [ Lk] the people [ Mk Lk] in the temple, [ Lk] and preaching the gospel, [Mt Mk Lk] there came unto
[Mt Mk ] him [Mt Mk Lk] the chief priests, [ Mk Lk] and the scribes, [Mt Mk Lk] and the elders [Mt ] of the people,
[Mt Mk Lk] and [ Lk] spake [ Mk Lk] unto him, [Mt Mk Lk] saying, [ Lk] Tell us, [Mt Mk Lk] by what authority doest thou these things? and who [ Lk] is he that [Mt Mk Lk] gave thee this authority [ Mk ] to do these things?
[Mt Mk Lk] And [Mt Mk ] Jesus [Mt Mk Lk] answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing,
[ Mk Lk] and [Mt Mk Lk] answer me, [Mt Mk ] and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Luk 20:4 [Mt Mk Lk] The baptism of John, [Mt ] whence [Mt Mk Lk] was it? from heaven, or of men?
[ Mk ] answer me.
Luk 20:5 [Mt Mk Lk] And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say [Mt ] unto us, [Mt Mk Lk] Why then did ye not believe him?
Luk 20:6 [Mt Mk Lk] But if we shall say, Of men;
[Mt ] we [Mt Mk ] fear
[ Lk] all [Mt Mk Lk] the people [ Lk] will stone us:
[Mt Mk Lk] for [ Lk] they
[Mt Mk ] all [Mt Mk Lk] hold [ Mk ] that [Mt Mk Lk] John
[ Mk Lk] was [Mt Mk Lk] a prophet [ Mk ] indeed.
Luk 20:7 [Mt Mk Lk] And they answered [Mt Mk ] Jesus, and said, We [Mt Mk Lk] cannot tell [ Lk] whence [it was].
[Mt Mk Lk] And [ Mk Lk] Jesus [ Mk ] answering [Mt Mk Lk] saith unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
142. The Parable of the Two Sons
[Mt] 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.
Mat 21:29 [Mt] He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
Mat 21:30 [Mt] And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.
[Mt] 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.
[Mt] 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.
143. The Parable of the Wicked Husbandmen [Mat 21:33-46; Mark 12:1-12; & Luk 20:9-19]
Luk 20:9 [ Mk Lk] And he began to speak unto [ Lk] the people
[ Mk ] by [ Mk Lk] parable-
[ Mk ] s [ ] [such as] [ Lk] this;
Mat 21:33 [Mt ] Hear another parable: There was
[Mt Mk Lk] a [Mt Lk] certain [Mt Mk Lk] man, [Mt ] a householder, which [Mt Mk Lk] planted a vineyard, [Mt Mk ] and set an hedge about
[Mt ] it, [Mt Mk ] and digged [Mt ] in it
[Mt Mk ] a [ Mk ] winefat [ ] [for the] [Mt ] winepress, [Mt Mk ] and built a tower, [Mt Mk Lk] and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country [ Lk] for a long time.
[Mt Mk Lk] And [Mt Lk] when [Mt Mk Lk] the season [Mt ] of the fruit drew near, [Mt Mk Lk] he sent [ ] [one of]
[Mt ] his [Mt Mk Lk] servant-
[Mt ] s [Mt Mk Lk] to the husbandmen, that
[ Mk ] he [Mt Mk ] might receive [ Mk ] from the husbandmen
[ Mk Lk] of [Mt Mk Lk] the fruit-
[Mt ] s
[Mt Mk Lk] of [ Mk Lk] the vineyard, [ ] [which] [ Lk] they should give him:
[Mt Mk Lk] and [Mt Lk] the husbandmen [Mt Mk ] took [ ] [this]
[Mt ] one [ ] [of] [Mt ] his servants,
[Mt Mk ] and [Mt Mk Lk] beat [ Mk Lk] him, and sent [him] away empty.
[Mt Mk Lk] And [ Mk Lk] again he sent [ Mk ] unto them [Mt Mk Lk] another [ Mk Lk] servant:
[ Lk] and they beat him also, [ Mk ] and they [Mt Mk ] stoned [ Mk ] him, and wounded [him] in the head, [ Mk Lk] and handled [ Lk] [him] [ Mk Lk] shamefully,
[ Lk] and [ Mk Lk] sent [him] away [ Lk] empty.
[Mt Mk Lk] And [ Mk Lk] again he sent [Mt Mk ] another, [ Lk] a third:
[ Mk Lk] and they [ Lk] wounded him also, and cast [him] out, [ ] [and] [Mt Mk ] killed [ Mk ] him. And
Mat 21:36 [Mt ] again, he sent [ Mk ] many [Mt Mk ] other [Mt ] servants, more than the first: and they did unto them likewise;
[ Mk ] beating some, and killing some.
Luk 20:13 [Mt Lk] Then [ Lk] said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do?
Mark 12:6 [ Mk ] Having yet therefore one [Mt Mk ] son, his [ Mk ] wellbeloved, [Mt Mk ] he sent [ Mk ] him also [Mt Mk ] unto them last [Mt ] of all, [Mt Mk ] saying, [ Lk] I will send
[Mt Mk Lk] my [ Lk] beloved [Mt Mk Lk] son:
[ Lk] it may be [Mt Mk Lk] they will reverence [ Lk] [him] when they see him.
[Mt Mk Lk] But [Mt Lk] when [ Mk ] those [Mt Mk Lk] husbandmen
[Mt Lk] saw [Mt ] the son, [Mt Lk] they [ Lk] reasoned [Mt Mk Lk] among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, let us kill him,
[Mt Mk ] and [Mt ] let us seize on his [Mt Mk Lk] inheritance, [ Lk] that [ ] [it]
[ Lk] may [ Mk Lk] be ours.
Luk 20:15 [Mt Mk Lk] And they [Mt Mk ] took him, and [Mt Mk Lk] cast
[ Lk] him [Mt Mk Lk] out of the vineyard, and killed [him].
Mat 21:40 [Mt ] When
Mark 12:9 [Mt Mk Lk] the lord therefore of the vineyard [Mt ] cometh, [Mt Mk Lk] what will
[Mt ] he
[Mt Mk Lk] do [Mt Lk] unto [Mt ] those husbandmen?
[Mt ] 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.
Mat 21:42 [Mt ] Jesus saith unto them,
Luk 20:16 [ Mk Lk] He will come and destroy [ Lk] these [ Mk Lk] husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
[ Lk] And when they heard [it], they said, God forbid.
Luk 20:17 [ Lk] And he beheld them, and said,
[ Mk ] And [ Lk] what is [ Mk Lk] this [ Lk] then that is written [Mt ] in the [Mt Mk ] scripture-
[Mt ] s?
[Mt Mk ] have ye not [Mt ] ever [Mt Mk ] read, [Mt Mk Lk] The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner:
Mark 12:11 [Mt Mk ] this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
[Mt ] Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
[Mt ] And
[Mt Lk] whosoever shall fall on that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
[Mt Mk Lk] And [Mt ] when [Mt Lk] the chief priests [ Lk] and the scribes [Mt ] and Pharisees had heard his parables,
Mat 21:46 b [Mt Mk ] they [Mt Mk Lk] sought [ Lk] the same hour [Mt Mk Lk] to lay hands on him;
[ Mk Lk] for
Mat 21:45 b [Mt Mk Lk] they perceived that he spake [ Lk] this [ Mk Lk] parable [Mt Mk Lk] of them:
[Mt Mk Lk] but
Mat 21:46 c [Mt Mk Lk] they feared the people, [Mt ] because they took him for a prophet:
[ Mk ] and they left him, and went their way.
144. The Parable of the Wedding Feast
Mat 22:1 [Mt] And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
Mat 22:2 [Mt] The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
Mat 22:3 [Mt] and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
[Mt] 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.
Mat 22:5 [Mt] But they made light of [it], and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
Mat 22:6 [Mt] and the remnant took his servants, and entreated [them] spitefully, and slew [them].
[Mt] But when the king heard [thereof], he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Mat 22:8 [Mt] Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Mat 22:9 [Mt] Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
[Mt] 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.
Mat 22:11 [Mt] And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
Mat 22:12 [Mt] and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
[Mt] Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 22:14 [Mt] For many are called, but few [are] chosen.
145. Is it Lawful to Pay Taxes to Caesar?
[Mat 22:15-22; Mark 12:13-17; & Luk 20:20-26]
Mat 22:15 [Mt ] Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how
Mark 12:13 [Mt Mk ] to entangle him in [his] words.
Luk 20:20 [Mt Mk Lk] And they [ Lk] watched [him], and [Mt Mk Lk] sent forth [Mt Mk ] unto him [ Mk ] certain [ Lk] spies, [Mt ] disciples
[Mt Mk ] of [ Mk ] the Pharisees
[Mt Mk ] and
[ Mk ] of [Mt Mk ] the Herodians,
[ Lk] which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
[ Mk Lk] And [ Mk ] when they were come, [ Mk Lk] they [ Lk] asked [ Mk Lk] him, [Mt Mk Lk] saying, Master, we know that thou [Mt Mk ] art true,
[Mt ] and [ Lk] sayest and teachest rightly,
[Mt Mk Lk] and [Mt Mk ] thou carest for no man: for [Mt Mk Lk] thou regardest not the person [Mt Mk ] of men,
[ Mk Lk] but [Mt Mk Lk] teachest the way of God in truth.
Mat 22:17 [Mt ] Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou?
Luk 20:22 [Mt Mk Lk] Is it lawful [ Lk] for us [Mt Mk Lk] to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
Mark 12:15 [ Mk ] Shall we give, or shall we not give?
[Mt Mk Lk] But [Mt ] Jesus, [Mt Mk Lk] perceiving their [ Lk] craftiness, [Mt ] wickedness, [ ] [and] [ Mk ] hypocrisy, [Mt Mk Lk] said [ Mk Lk] unto them, [Mt Mk Lk] Why tempt ye me, [Mt ] [ye] hypocrites?
Luk 20:24 [Mt Lk] Shew me [Mt ] the tribute money:
[ Mk ] bring me [ Mk Lk] a penny, [ Mk ] that I may see [it].
Mark 12:16 [Mt Mk ] And they brought [Mt ] unto him a penny.
Mat 22:20 [Mt Mk ] And he saith unto them, [Mt Mk Lk] Whose [Mt Mk ] [is] this [Mt Mk Lk] image and superscription [ ] [that] [ Lk] it hath?
[ Mk Lk] And
Mat 22:21 [Mt Mk Lk] they [ Lk] answered and [Mt Mk Lk] said [Mt Mk ] unto him, [Mt Mk Lk] Caesar’s.
[ Mk Lk] And [Mt ] then [ Mk ] Jesus answering [Mt Mk Lk] said unto them, Render [Mt Lk] therefore [Mt Mk Lk] unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.
[Mt Mk Lk] And [Mt ] when they had heard [ Lk] his words, they could not take hold of [ ] [them] [ Lk] before the people: and [Mt Mk Lk] they marvelled
[ Mk Lk] at
[ Mk ] him [ ] [for] [ Lk] his answer, and held their peace, [Mt ] and left him, and went their way.
146. How Can There be a Resurrection?
[Mat 22:23-33; Mark 12:18-27; & Luk 20:27-39]
Luk 20:27 [ Mk Lk] Then
Mat 22:23 [Mt ] the same day [Mt Mk Lk] came to
[Mt Mk ] him [ Lk] certain of [Mt Mk Lk] the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him,
Luk 20:28 [Mt Mk Lk] saying,
Mark 12:19 [Mt Mk Lk] Master, Moses [ Mk Lk] wrote unto us, [ ] [and] [Mt ] said, [Mt Mk Lk] If any man- [ Mk Lk] ’s brother die,
[ Mk ] and
[ Lk] has [ Mk ] left [behind] [ Mk Lk] a wife, and
[ Lk] he [Mt Lk] die having [ Mk ] left [Mt Mk Lk] no children, [ Mk Lk] that [Mt Mk Lk] his brother should [ Mk Lk] take [ ] [and] [Mt ] marry
[Mt Mk ] his [Mt Mk Lk] wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Luk 20:29 [Mt Mk Lk] Now there were [Mt ] with us [Mt Mk Lk] seven brethren: and the first [ Mk Lk] took [ ] [and] [Mt ] married [Mt Mk Lk] a wife,
[ Mk Lk] and [Mt Mk Lk] died [ Lk] without children, [Mt ] and, having [ Mk ] left [Mt Mk ] no seed, [Mt ] left his wife unto his brother.
Luk 20:30 [Mt Mk Lk] And the second [ Mk Lk] took her [ Lk] to wife,
[ Mk Lk] and
[ Lk] he [Mt ] likewise [ Mk Lk] died, [ Mk ] neither left he any seed, [ ] [being] [ Lk] childless.
Luk 20:31 [Mt Mk Lk] And the third [ Mk ] likewise [ Lk] took her;
[ Mk Lk] and [ Lk] in like manner also [ ] [each] [Mt ] unto [Mt Mk Lk] the seven [ Mk ] had her:
[ Mk Lk] and they left no [ Mk ] seed [ ] [nor] [ Lk] children, and died.
[Mt Lk] And [Mt Mk Lk] last of all the woman died also.
Luk 20:33 [Mt Mk Lk] In the resurrection therefore, [ Mk ] when they shall rise, [Mt Mk Lk] whose wife shall she be of [Mt ] the seven?
[Mt Mk Lk] for [ Mk Lk] the seven
[Mt ] all [Mt Mk Lk] had her [ Mk Lk] to wife.
Luk 20:34 [Mt Mk Lk] And Jesus answering said unto them,
[ Mk ] Do
[Mt Mk ] ye [ Mk ] not therefore [Mt Mk ] err, because ye know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
[Mt Mk ] For [ Lk] the children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
[ Lk] but [Mt Mk Lk] they [ Lk] which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and [Mt Lk] the resurrection, [ Mk ] when they shall rise [ Mk Lk] from the dead, [Mt Mk Lk] neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
Luk 20:36 [ Lk] neither can they die any more:
[Mt Mk Lk] but they are as the angels [Mt ] of God [ Mk ] which are [Mt Mk ] in heaven;
[ Lk] and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
[Mt Mk Lk] But [Mt Mk ] as touching [Mt ] the resurrection of [Mt Mk Lk] the dead, [ Mk Lk] that [ Mk ] they
[ Lk] are [ Mk Lk] raise-
[ Lk] d:
[Mt Mk ] have ye not read [Mt ] that which was spoken unto you by God [ Mk ] in the book of Moses, how [ Lk] even Moses shewed [ ] [this] [ Mk Lk] in the bush, [ Lk] when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
[ ] [For] [ Mk ] God spake unto him, [Mt Mk ] saying,
[Mt Mk ] I
[Mt ] am [Mt Mk ] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
[ Lk] For
[Mt ] God
Mark 12:27 [Mt Mk Lk] is not the God of the dead, but [ Mk ] the God [Mt Mk Lk] of the living:
[ Lk] for all live unto him.
[ Mk ] Ye therefore do greatly err.
Mat 22:33 [Mt ] And when the multitude heard [this], they were astonished at his doctrine.
Luk 20:39 [ Lk] Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
147. Which is the Greatest Commandment?
[Mat 22:34-40 & Mark 12:28-34a (...kingdom of God.)]
[Mt Mk] And [Mt ] when the Pharisees
[ ] [and] [ Mk] the scribes [Mt ] had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
[Mt ] Then
[Mt Mk] one of [Mt ] them, [which was] a lawyer, [ Mk] came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well,
[Mt Mk] asked
[ Mk] him [Mt ] [a question], tempting him, and saying,
Mat 22:36 [Mt ] Master,
[Mt Mk] which
[ Mk] is
[Mt Mk] the
[Mt ] great
[ ] [and]
[ Mk] first [Mt Mk] commandment
[ Mk] of all [Mt ] in the law?
Mark 12:29 [Mt Mk] And Jesus [ Mk] answered
[ ] [and] [Mt ] said unto
[Mt Mk] him, [ Mk] The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
[ Mk] and [Mt Mk] thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, [ Mk] and with all thy strength.
[Mt Mk] This
[Mt ] is [Mt Mk] the first [Mt ] and great [Mt Mk] commandment.
Mark 12:31 [Mt Mk] And the second [is] like [Mt ] unto it, [ Mk] [namely] this, [Mt Mk] Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[ Mk] There is none other commandment greater than these.
Mat 22:40 [Mt ] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
[ Mk] And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
[ Mk] and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love [his] neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Mark 12:34 a [ Mk] And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God.
148. Is Christ Merely the Son of David?
[Mat 22:41-46; Mark 12:34b-37a (And no man...his son?); & Luk 20:40-44]
[Mt Mk Lk] And [Mt Mk ] while [Mt ] the Pharisees were gathered together [ ] [as] [ Mk ] he taught in the temple, [Mt Mk ] Jesus [Mt ] asked them,
Mat 22:42 [Mt ] saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, [The Son] of David.
[Mt Lk] He [ Mk ] answered and [Mt Mk Lk] said [Mt Lk] unto them, [ Mk Lk] How say [ Mk ] the scribes that [ Mk Lk] Christ is the Son of David?
[ Mk Lk] And [Mt ] how then doth [Mt Mk Lk] David [ Mk Lk] himself
[Mt Mk ] in [ Mk ] the Holy [Mt Mk ] Spirit [Mt ] call him Lord, [Mt Mk Lk] saying [ Lk] in the book of Psalms,
Mat 22:44 [Mt Mk Lk] The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Luk 20:43 [Mt Mk Lk] till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
[Mt ] If
Luk 20:44 [Mt Mk Lk] David therefore [ Mk ] himself [Mt Mk Lk] calleth him Lord, how is he [then] his son?
Luk 20:40 [Mt Mk Lk] And no
[Mt Mk ] man [Mt ] was able to answer him a word, neither [Mt Mk Lk] durst [Mt ] any [man] [Mt Mk Lk] from that [Mt ] day forth [Mt Mk Lk] ask him
[Mt Lk] any [Mt ] more [questions].
149. Jesus Warns Against the Scribes & Pharisees [Mat 23:1-39; Mark 12:37b-40 (And the common...); & Luk 20:45-47]
Mark 12:37 b [ Mk ] And the common people heard him gladly.
[ Mk Lk] And
Mat 23:1 [Mt ] then [ Lk] in the audience of all [Mt Lk] the people, [Mt ] Jesus spake [Mt Mk Lk] unto [Mt Lk] his disciples [ Mk ] in his doctrine,
Mat 23:2 [Mt Mk Lk] saying, [Mt ] The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat:
[Mt ] all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, [that] observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
Luk 20:46 [ Mk Lk] Beware of the scribes:
[Mt ] 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.
Mat 23:5 [Mt ] But all their works they do for to be seen of men:
[ Mk Lk] they desire to walk in long robes, [ ] [and] [Mt ] make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
[Mt Mk Lk] and [Mt Lk] love [Mt Mk Lk] the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Mark 12:38 b [Mt Mk Lk] and salutations in the marketplaces, [Mt ] and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
Mat 23:8 [Mt ] But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, [even] Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Mat 23:9 [Mt ] And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Mat 23:10 [Mt ] Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, [even] Christ.
Mat 23:11 [Mt ] But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Mat 23:12 [Mt ] And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
[Mt ] 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.
Mat 23:14 [Mt ] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
Luk 20:47 [Mt Mk Lk] devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers:
[Mt ] therefore ye [Mt Mk Lk] shall receive greater damnation.
[Mt ] 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.
[Mt ] 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!
Mat 23:17 [Mt ] [Ye] fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
[Mt ] And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
Mat 23:19 [Mt ] [Ye] fools and blind: for whether [is] greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
Mat 23:20 [Mt ] Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
Mat 23:21 [Mt ] And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
Mat 23:22 [Mt ] And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
[Mt ] 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.
Mat 23:24 [Mt ] [Ye] blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
[Mt ] 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.
[Mt ] [Thou] blind Pharisee, cleanse first that [which is] within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
[Mt ] 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.
Mat 23:28 [Mt ] Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
[Mt ] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
[Mt ] 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.
Mat 23:31 [Mt ] Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Mat 23:32 [Mt ] Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
Mat 23:33 [Mt ] [Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
[Mt ] 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:
[Mt ] 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.
Mat 23:36 [Mt ] Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
[Mt ] O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under [her] wings, and ye would not!
Mat 23:38 [Mt ] Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
[Mt ] For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
150. The Widow’s Offering [Mark 12:41-44 & Luk 21:1-4]
Mark 12:41 [Mk ] And Jesus sat over against the treasury;
Luk 21:1 [ Lk] and he looked up, [Mk Lk] and saw
[Mk ] how
[Mk Lk] the
[Mk ] people
[Mk Lk] cast [ Lk] their gifts
[ ] [of]
[Mk ] money [Mk Lk] into the treasury:
[Mk ] and many that were
[Mk Lk] rich [Mk ] cast in much.
[Mk Lk] And [ Lk] he saw also [Mk Lk] a certain poor widow, [ ] [which] [Mk ] came and [Mk Lk] cast in [ Lk] thither [Mk Lk] two mites, [Mk ] which make a farthing.
[Mk Lk] And he [Mk ] called [unto him] his disciples, and
[Mk Lk] saith [Mk ] unto them, [Mk Lk] Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast in more than all they [Mk ] which have cast into the treasury:
Luk 21:4 [Mk Lk] for all
[ Lk] these [Mk Lk] have of their abundance cast in [ Lk] unto the offerings of God:
[Mk Lk] but she of her want hath cast in all that she had, [Mk ] [even] all her [Mk Lk] living.
