Matthew 9: 27-31

See that no man know it.   And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us. And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country. (Matthew 9: 27-31) Two poor blind men followed Jesus and screamed because they heard rumors that Jesus was healing the sick. "Dear descendants of David, have pity on us." It is to say that it is the Messiah to call it a descendant of David. However, even though Jesus heard their cry, Jesus just went into the house. Nevertheless, they came to the house. Jesus said to them, "Do you believe I can do this?" They a...

Matthew 9: 32-34

He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils. (Matthew 9: 32-34) Jesus touched the eyes of the blind. This is a medical practice in ancient Israel. However, Jesus' healing method for those who cannot speak is to expel demons. When a demon-possessed man was brought to Jesus, the ghost was cast out. But when everyone was amazed by this miracle, the Pharisees said. 『 He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils . 』 What they mean is that Jesus' "miracle of the ghost leaving" is the ghost's work. Jesus said, "He who does not dwell on me is a child of the devil." The Pharisees are demons. John 8: 30-32 『 As he spake these words, many believed on him. Then sa...

Matthew 9: 35-38

preaching the gospel of the kingdom   And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.   But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.   Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. (Matthew 9: 35-38) What Jesus did was teach, preach the gospel, and heal. By teaching and healing people, Jesus preached the gospel of Heaven to them. He said, "when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them." In Jesus' eyes, people seemed to be infinitely pitiful, suffering as sheep without a shepherd. Then Jesus asked his disciples, "The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are fe...

Matthew 10: 1-15

Jesus had called unto him his twelve disciples   And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.   Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Provide neither gold, nor ...

Matthew 10:16-23

(Matthew 10:16-23) 『 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.   But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.   For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.   But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the ci...

Matthew 10:24-31

(Matthew 10:24-31) 『 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.   It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?   Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.   What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.   And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.   Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.   But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.   Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. 』 This is what Jesus told the 12 disciples. God saves thos...

Matthew 10: 32-33

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men   Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.   But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 10: 32-33) There is a parable of the ten virgins. The wise five virgins went to the wedding feast, but the foolish five virgins did not. The five foolish virgins admitted Jesus in front of the people. But Jesus said, "I don't know them." The five foolish virgins just claim to know Jesus. The reason Jesus comes back is "Come to take those waiting for Jesus." Therefore, Jesus knows who he will take. The five foolish virgins are not the ones to take. There is no focus between what the foolish five virgins are thinking and what Jesus is saying. The word "Be Awake" means to know Jesus Christ because the cover of the law has been removed. This biblical statement applies to all, but a...

Matthew 10: 34-39

(Matthew 10: 34-39) 『 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 』 The Bible tells us that Jesus is the king of peace, but that he did not come to give peace. 『 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 』 In Isaiah 9: 6 Jesus was called the king of peace. But came to give the sword. Most churches interpret it as follows: "A family has a mix of believers and unbelievers, and discord arises." Although not wrong, it is not a 1...
