5When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, asking for help. 6“Lord,”he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering.” 7Jesus said to him, “I will go and heal him.” 8The centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. But speak the word only, and my servant will be healed. 9For I mysel...
The story is also told in the Gospel of Luke (7:1-10) with some additional information. Luke says that the centurion sent word to Jesus through Jewish spokesmen, which would make sense if he was sensitive to Jewish-Roman relationships and also if there was a language barrier. The Jewish elders appealed to Jesus to help him because, they said, he wa...
So here we have the report of a miracle with a teaching. There are a number of these in the Bible so we have to determine what unique things are found here that set this passage apart. The occasionis certainly unique, because the request is made by a Roman soldier on behalf of his servant. The study will have to deal with the impact of this in the ...
At the outset we need to make sure we know the facts about the setting, and then the significance of those facts. The story takes place in Capernaum, the town that Jesus made his “base of operations.” Capernaum was a good-sized place on the shores of the lake, a natural site for fishing, which is why Peter had his home there (and perhaps Jesus stay...
The initial request (8:5-7).There is not a whole lot more that needs to be said about these verses. The goodness of the man that Luke explains is clearly shown in this passage too in that he, a centurion, was appealing to Jesus on behalf of his servant who was paralyzed and suffering. Either this was a wonderful, irreplaceable servant, or the centu...
I have already said enough to tip you off about thinking about the authoritative word of the Lord. But there is another area of biblical material that has to be connected to all such healing passages, and that is the reason for illness in the world and the promise to remove it. Matthew 9will afford a better chance to discuss the reasons; but here w...
There has been enough discussion already on the theme of this little passage that it does not have to be repeated at length here. Matthew records this event to show that the King has authority over disease, and that by His powerful word He is able to heal. Matthew is also showing that the healing is a response to the man’s faith, a faith that was n...
Mark 6:1-3 Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples. / When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished.

- Love Your Enemies. In Matthew 5:43-45, Jesus says. You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven, for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
- The Golden Rule. Matt 7:12 gives us a form of what has become known as the Golden Rule. By the way, this idea exists in most religions and can certainly be found in Judaism before Jesus.
- Love God. In Matthew 22:37-38, a Torah expert approaches Jesus and asks, “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” [Jesus] said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
Matthew 19:1-12. New Life Version. Update. What Jesus Taught about Marriage and Divorce. 19 When Jesus had finished talking, He went from the country of Galilee. He came to the part of the country of Judea which is on the other side of the Jordan River. 2 Many people followed Him and He healed them there. 3 The proud religious law-keepers came ...
Oct 7, 2018 · Matt. 6:1-18 Jesus teaches his followers how to pray to God. Believers should pray using simple words and without any ostentatious display. Jesus offers a ‘model’ prayer – which has become known as ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ (see the feature on The Lords Prayer). Matt. 6:19-34 Jesus urges his followers not to worry about the future. “Don ...

Matthew 5-7 is most naturally read as a single literary unit. Jesus went up to a mountainside and his disciples went with him (Matt. 5:1-2). However, by the end of the discourse we notice that the crowds are amazed by Jesus' teaching. It seems that the crowds found Jesus and the disciples. I contend that Jesus' primary audience are his ...
