CHAPTER 19: WHAT JESUS DID
JOHN THE BAPTIST
Matthew 3:1-12
- He was a Levite (Exodus 32-priestly tribe)- hundreds came to John to confess their sins- his ministry fulfilled the prophecy that Elijah would return and “turn the hearts” of the people
JOHN THE BAPTIST
His Mission: 1. reform moral lives of Jewish people; get them spiritually ready to accept Messiah2. point out Christ to Jews
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matt 3:2) – similar to Elijah
•Clothed with camel hair, leather belt around waist, ate locusts and wild honey
BAPTISM Matt 3:11 – “I baptize you with water for
repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I…He will baptize with the Holy Spirit”
Even pagan cultures practiced a type of baptism before Christianity
BAPTISM
Spiritual cleansing = baptisms took care of ritual repentance, not moral cleansing, it was symbolic but didn’t actually take away sins
Sacramental baptism = our sins are actually forgiven and receive God’s grace
*Immersion symbolizes death of old person and come up as resurrection
WHY JESUS WAS BAPTIZED? Jesus’ manifestation! JC baptism by John identifies us as
sinners John anointed Jesus for his ministry The Spirit came to Jesus as it had to the
kings of Israel when they were anointed New Creation
Start of public ministry Baptism is like the great flood…why?
TEMPTATION IN WILDERNESS
Matthew 4:1-11 Mark 1:12-13 Luke 4:1-131. Jesus prepares for his ministry by
fasting in the wilderness2. Symbolic # 40 recalls what? 3. Jesus overcomes the temptations that
Adam and Israel could not resist
THE THREE TEMPTATIONS
1. command stones to become loaves of bread
2. throw self down from pentacle and angels will save you
3. bow down and worship the devil, then receive all kingdoms of the worlds
FIRST TEMPTATION
• Economic/Material Power• Temptation of gluttony or anything we crave
• Focus on body and sacrifice the soul• Adam tempted through belly and failed • Christ won over Satan by self control
• Deuteronomy 8:3 (Matt. 4:4) “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone; but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God’.”
SECOND TEMPTATION • Magical Power • Temptation of vain/glory• use God’s power for self glory • Satan can’t push Jesus off temple devil can
persuade but can’t make us sin• Leaves out Psalm 91
• (Matt.4:6) “For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.”
• “You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.”
THIRD TEMPTATION• Political Power• Temptation of ambition• Satan is liar promising kingdoms that only God can give Psalm 91 is fulfilled• Also tempting because it completes Jesus’ mission, (but not
in the right way).
• Deut. 6-8 is only other place in Scripture that God is tested
SHEMA: DEUTERONOMY 6:5 Shema: Greatest commandment in Judaism
“Love God with all your heart, soul, and strength.” Heart: basic impulse to do good and avoid evil
(#1) Soul: soul is the source of life; risk life; test true
meaning of human life; martyrdom (#2) Strength: authentic power, ability to resists
desires (#3)
*So does Satan believe this is Messiah and/or God?
PROCLAMATION OF THE KINGDOM “Repent for the Kingdom of God is at
hand” (Matthew 4:17) First words of Christ’s public ministry Effects:
Points to a need for conversionConversion is a result of love of God Life of holiness
MIRACLES a surprising and welcome event that is
not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency.
Comes from the Latin term mirari meaning “to wonder”
MIRACLES OF CHRIST Healing: Jesus cured people of various
illnesses including leprosy, paralysis, blindness, fever, deafness, and dropsy.
Exorcism: Jesus has power over demons and evil spirits
Nature: Jesus controls the forces of nature by stilling a storm, feeding multitudes, turning water into wine
Death: Jesus restores the life of a person
WEDDING AT CANA John 2:1-12 Christ’s first miracle Theme of marriage/wedding “wine ran short” – deep embarrassment
on family’s financial situation Mary was first to notice issue; brought
needs to Jesus (just like in prayer) “O woman…” – use term woman like in
Genesis with Eve – Mary is new eve
WEDDING AT CANA
“My hour has not yet come…” – will be beginning of ministry and Mary’s suffering
“Do whatever he tells you…” - last written words of Mary
trust God without hesitation Reflection of marriage – bride/bridegroom
- God vs. Israel – bride/husband- Christ in Eucharist/Laid down life for
YOU!
WHAT DID JESUS DO ON EARTH? Cleansed temple Casted out demons Taught parables Ate with sinners Healed sick Talked to women and Samaritans
HEALING THE SICK Jesus cured a leper but asked him to not
share it with anyone Why would Christ ask that of the man? Mk 2:1-12 – healing of the paralytic What did JC heal man of?
CENTURION’S SERVANT Matthew 8 FAITH- gentile believed Savior could
heal HUMILITY- centurion felt unworthy to
have Lord under his roof/in his home WISDOM- saw past Christ's humanity,
instead his divinity!
“Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only the words that my soul shall be healed”
we recognize our unworthiness to have Jesus come under the "roof" of our soul in holy communion
FEEDING OF 5,000 Matthew 14 Miracle of Nature Looks at miraculous feedings of both OT
and NTmanna and the Eucharist
Jesus blesses and multiples bread, then the Apostle distribute the food
Apostles intermediary role points to their priesthood In persona Christi – Christ acts through the
priest, the priest distributes communion
CLEANSING OF THE TEMPLE John 2:13-36 “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all
nations. But you have made it a den of robbers.” (Mt 11:15-17)
Temple worship became a big business Currency change from Roman to Temple tax Could buy animals for sacrificing if coming
from long distances “house of prayer for all nations” Isaiah 56:7
- where Gentiles could pay respect to God
WALKING ON WATER Walking on Water - Mt 14:22-33; Mk 6:45-52 Apostles thought He was ghost; JC responds, “Take heart, it is I; have
no fear.” Peter walks on water
WHO SINNED? Mt 9:27-30 – how did men know this was
Christ if they were blind? Jews believed if you were cursed with a
disability or disease that you were very sinful person
Read Jn 9:1-40 Each member read 10 verses.
JOHN 9:1-40Answer with your team (1 paper 1 pencil, switch every answer)
Whose sin caused the man’s blindness? Then why is he blind?What does Jesus do to cure the blindness?Who truly is blind in this story?Jesus is the Light of the world how does this story reflect that?
What is the problem of evil?
EATING WITH SINNERS Read Mt 9:10-13 Christ ate with Matthew the tax collector Tax collectors were among the most
sinful because of job Most hated among Jews Luke 19: 1-10 – Jesus and Zacchaeus
WOMEN AND SAMARITANS Will look at parable of the Good
Samaritan in later chapter Jesus’ ministry is extended beyond the
Jews

MARTHA AND MARY Lk 10:38-42 Sisters Sacrificial to offer home (all apostles too!) Martha – too busy being hostess to enjoy
Lord’s company Mary – sat at feet of Jesus; position of
disciple Women didn’t get formal teaching by
rabbi Luke’s audience was gentiles, women, and
children
Luke elevated women’s position as active followers of Jesus’ teaching.
MARTHA AND MARY Mary’s heart was captured by words
of JC Martha- did what was good by
preparing meal Mary did what was better to listen to
words of Christ

???? What is the significance of the well? Why does the woman go at noon? What is Jesus thirsty for? What does Jesus offer her? Is his offer litteral? Why does the woman leave her bucket? Who is the sixth man she is with? What does Jesus actually eat?
THE SAMARITAN WOMAN John 4:4-42 Draws at noon
- avoid contact; bad reputation Living water taken literally Christ gives her living water, when she
didn’t even ask for it...but he knew the desires of her heart
He speaks to her symbolizing the universality of his new covenant
THE SAMARITAN WOMAN 2 Kings 17:24 – five nations came and
lived among the Samaritans in which they became corrupt and were no longer faithful to God
Then converted and preached that Jesus was the Messiah
TRANSFIGURATION RallyRobin with your partner and find as many parallels between Christ’s Baptism
and Christ’s Transfigurtion.

end is not death strengthens their faith Moses – represents the law Elijah – represents the prophets Whole law and all prophets are fulfilled in Christ
