This Gospel of Matthew is divided into eight sections that describe different parts of

Jesus' life. It begins with the Genealogy of Jesus that establishes and proves that

He was a descendant of King David. This fact is important because it is

consistent with the Old Testament description of the Messiah. The first section

also describes the miracle birth story of Jesus.


4/36

The second section of the Gospel records the beginning of Jesus' ministry. It also

describes in detail the baptism of Jesus and His temptation by Satan in the

desert. After 40 days and nights of fasting Jesus resisted all temptation. The next

section beginning in the middle of chapter 4 through the middle of chapter 14

covers accounts of the ministry of Jesus while in Galilee. During this time, He

commissions the 12 Apostles, preaches The Beatitudes, performs miracles and

teaches many lessons on very important subjects including; adultery, divorce,giving, prayer, judging, worry, treasures in Heaven and warnings to people


5/36

In chapter 13, Jesus begins teaching in parables to provide examples to His

lessons. Jesus withdraws from Galilee in section four and performs themiracle of feeding five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two

fish (Matthew 14:17). He also walks on water(Matthew 14:25). Chapter 17

describes the transfiguration that was witnessed by three disciples, John,

Peter and James (Matthew 17:1). Section six indicates the return of Jesus

to Galilee and the prediction of His death.

The Gospel of Mark presents many important facts and

significant lessons. First, it clearly establishes that Jesus Christis the Messiah that was prophesied throughout the Old

Testament. Second, it proves that Jesus was the Son of God,whom He claimed to be by living a sinless and perfect life.

Third, the Gospel records Jesus' miracles over nature (calmingthe storm; 4:37-41, walking on water; 6:48-51, and withering

the fig tree; 11:12-14).


9/36

His miracles also include healing many people, includingPeter's mother-in-law (1:30-31), the paralyzed man

(2:3-12), the woman with bleeding (5:25-29), and the deaf mute(7:31-37). Jesus also displayed miracle powers over death by

raising Jairus's daughter from the dead (5:37-39).


10/36

The most important fact in the Gospel of Mark is the evidence that Jesus Christ

overcame the power of death through His resurrection from the tomb. He provedthat there is no power that can overcome Him, that He is the authority to forgivethe sins of people, and that He is the One and only Son of God. Lastly, Jesusgives people perfect instructions for how God desires people to live, respond

through challenging circumstances, and make choices regarding their future foreternity.

Pride and self righteousness is something that God does not like. This teaching is aclose look at what God meant by this parable and an application for your own life.Luke 18:9-14 "Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that

they were righteous, and despised others: "Two men went up to the temple to pray,one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus

with himself, 'God, I thank You that I am not like other men-extortioners, unjust,adulterers, or even as this tax collector...

The woman meets Jesus at a well (John 4:1-26)Jesus and his disciples stop at a well. He meets and is questioned by a

Samaritan woman, who is convinced he is the Messiah.

The woman returns to her town (John 4:27-38)The disciples return and the woman goes back to her town. When she getsthere she tells everyone about Jesus. They come to see for themselves. The

disciples urge Jesus to eat, but he says he has already had food.

Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's

disciples. He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the

synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the

Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. As

he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed

around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why

do you persecute me?" "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom youare persecuting," he answered. Now get up and go into the city, and you will be

told what you must do. The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless;

they heard the sound but did not see anyone. Saul got up from the ground, but

when he opened his eyes he could not see anything. So they led him by the hand

into Damascus. For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.


31/36

In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called out to him in a vision, "Ananias!" "Yes,Lord," he answered. The Lord told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a

man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias comeand place his hands on him to restore his sight."

"Lord," Ananias answered, "I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done toyour saints in Jerusalem. And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest allwho call on your name." But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! This man is my chosen instrument to

carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel. I will show himhow much he must suffer for my name."

Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, theLord--Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here--has sent me so that you

may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit." Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul'seyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, and after taking some food, he regainedhis strength. Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus. Promptly he began to preach

in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God.

$500 dollars for it!Here is all the money Imade!

They sold some possessions and put the money in a bag.

Then he took half the money out and kept it for himself.

Peter was cross with Ananias.You are telling a lie, said Peter,Satan has got into your heart and youhave lied to the Holy Spirit!
