THE ACTIVITY OF GOD IN THE BIBLE - MATTHEW PART I, CHAPTER 1 - 14;

 The Activity of God

Going through the Bible, book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse, phrase by phrase and word by word to give attention to the following:
--the Names of God;
--the word & deeds of God;
--the sayings of God;
--the attributes of God;

Too often the churches weakness and the Christians weakness is found in this one sin, 'we do not know God'.  We have not studied the Bible, nor Him to learn more of Him.  Seeking that this might be a help for myself and others in this pursuit that each of us 'may grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord.

MATTHEW
Chapter 1

1:1     The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.     God is Jesus Christ; Christ's generations; Christ is son of David, son of Abraham;

1:16     And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, Who is called Christ.     Jesus was born of Mary;   Jesus is called Christ;

1:17       So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.     Christ's generation - 42; 

1:18      Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise:  When as His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.     Christ was born;  Christ's mother was Mary;  Holy Ghost impregnated Mary;

1:20      But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife:  for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.      God's angel appears to Joseph and reveals God's plan;   God instructs him not to fear;   Holy Ghost conceives Christ in Mary;

1:21      And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His Name JESUS:  for HE shall save His people from their sins.      God declares what shall happen and what they shall called Him;  Christ is Son; Christ's Name - JESUS;  Christ shall save His people from sins; God's people;   

1:22      Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,     And God said/spoke;   God's prophet;   God fulfills His Word;       

1:23      Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His Name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.     Christ born of a virgin;  Christ called Emmanuel;  God's Name - God with us;  

1:24     Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:     God's angel had bidden him;

1:25      And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son:  and he called His Name JESUS.     Christ Name - JESUS;  God called His Name;

Chapter 2

2:1      Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king,     Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judea;  God fulfills His prophecy;

2:2      Saying, Where is He that is born King of the Jews?  for we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.     Christ is born King of Jews;  Christ's star; Christ is to be worshipped;

2:4     he demanded of them where Christ should be born.     Christ born, fulfillment of prophecy foretold;

2:5    for thus it is written by the prophet,     And God said/spoke;  God speaks through His prophet the birth of Christ;

2:6     And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least, among the princes of Juda:  for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule My people Israel.    God's prophecy fulfilled;  And God said/spoke, God declared it, Omnipresent; Christ is Governor of Israel;  God's people, Israel;

2:8      And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found Him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship Him also.    Christ is young child; Christ found;  Christ to be spoken of, bring me word again;  Christ to be worshipped, come and worship Him, He is worthy;

2:9      till it came and stood over where the young child was.     Christ was the young child;   

2:11      And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped Him:  and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.     Christ is seen with his mother Mary;  Christ is worshipped and they fell down before Him;  Christ is given gifts - presented gold, frankincense, and myrrh;  

2:12      And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.      God warns in a dream;    

2:13      And when they were departed; behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, adn take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there unto I bring thee word; for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.      God's angel appears;  And God said/spoke;  God appears to him and instructs him;  God gives directive for young child, Christ;  Christ - young child (2);  God reveals Herod's plans to destroy;  Omniscient;   Christ sought to be destroyed by Satan;

2:14     When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:    Christ is young child;  Christ enters into Egypt;

2:15     And was there until the death of Herod:  that it might e fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, OUt of Egypt have I called My Son.     Christ comes out of Egypt;  God's prophet speaks His Word;  And God said/spoke;  Omnipresent; Omniscient;  God calls His Son;  Christ - Son;

2:17      Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the propeht, saying,     God fulfills His Word;  And God said/spoke;   God's prophet, Jeremiah;

2:18    God revealed and is fulfilled what should be;

2:19      But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.     God's angel;  God's angel appears and gives directive;  God speaks in a dream;

2:20      Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel:  for they are dead which sought the young child's life.    And God said/spoke;  God gives directive to take Christ and mother and return to Israel;   God reveals, Omniscient, that those that sought HIs life is dead;  Christ - young child;

2:21     And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.    Christ - young child;  Christ returns into Israel;

2:22     notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee.    God warns him;

2:23      And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth:  that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, HE shall be called a Nazarene.    Christ dwells in city, Nazareth;  God's word fulfilled;  And God said/spoke;   Christ called Nazarene;   God's prophet foretold;

Chapter 3

3:2     And saying, Repent ye:  for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.     Christ is the kingdom of heaven;

3:3     Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make HIs paths straight.     God's Word fulfilled;  And God said/spoke;  God's prophet foretold of John and Christ;  Christ ways to be prepared;  Christ ways made straight;

3:11      I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance:  but He that cometh after me is mightier than I, Whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:  He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:    Christ cometh after John;  Christ is mightier than John; Christ' shoes worthy;  Christ shall baptize with Holy Ghost;  Christ to baptize with fire;   God is Holy Ghost and baptizes with fire;

3:12     Whose fan is in His hand, and HE will throughly purge His flood, and gather His wheat into the garner; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.      Christ's hand; I will's of God (Christ) to purge His floor;   I will's of God (Christ) to gather His wheat;  Christ wheat; I will's of God (Christ) to burn up chaff with unquenchable fire;        

3:13      Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.    Christ comes to be baptized;  

3:14      But John forbad Him, saying, I have need to be baptized of Thee, and comest Thou to me?    Christ forbad by John being baptized;   Christ desired to baptize John;  Christ cometh to John;  Christ is questioned;

3:15     And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now:  for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness.  Then he suffered Him.    And God said/spoke;   Christ answered him; Christ directed him what to do;   Christ fulfilled all righteousness;

3:16    And Jesus, when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water:  and, lo, the heavens were opened unto Him and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him.     Christ was baptized;   Christ went up straightway out of water;  Christ had Spirit descend upon Him;  God's Spirit descended upon Him like a dove, like lighting;

3:17       And a voice from heaven, saying, This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.     And God said/spoke;   God's voice;  God's Beloved Son;   Christ is God's Son;  God well pleased with Christ;

Chapter 4

4:1      Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.     Christ led by Spirit into wilderness to be tempted;  God's Spirit leads Him;

4:2      And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was afterward an hungred.    Christ fasted 40 days and nights;  Christ was hungered;

4:3     If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.    Christ is tempted by devil;  Christ is the Son of God;

4:4      But He answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.     And God said/spoke;   Christ answers and says; Christ quotes Word of God; God's mouth speaks God's Word;

4:5      Then the devil taketh Him up into the holy city, and setteth Him on a pinnacle of the temple.     Christ taken up by Satan to holy city;  Christ set upon pinnacle of temple.

4:6      And saith unto Him, If Thou be the Son of God, cast Thyself down:  for it is written, He shall give His angels charge concerning Thee:  and in their hands they shall bear Thee up, lest at any time Thou dash Thy foot against a stone.      Christ spoken to by devil in temptation;  Christ is the Son of God;  Christ tempted to throw Himself down; God gives His angels charge concerning Christ; 

4:7      Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.     And God said/spoke (2);  Christ speaks to him;  God is not to be tempted;

4:8     Again, the devil taketh Him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;     Christ taken up by devil into high mountain;  Christ showed all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;

4:9      And saith unto Him, All these things will I give Thee, if Thou wilt fall down and worship me.    Christ spoken to by Satan;  Christ offered all these things;  Christ asked to fall down and worship Satan;

4:10      Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan:  for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt Thou serve.     And God said/spoke (2);   Christ answers him;  Christ commands him to get hence;  Christ quotes Scripture;  God is to be worshipped and Him only; God is to be only One served;

4:11       Then the devil leaveth Him, and behold, angels came and ministered unto Him.     Christ is left alone by devil;   God's angels ministered unto Him;   Christ ministered unto;

4:12       Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, He departed into Galilee;    Christ heard about John;  Christ departs for Galilee;

4:13     And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Abulon and Nephthalim:     Christ left Nazareth;  Christ came and dwelt in Capernaum;

4:14      That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,      God's prophet foretells God's will and ways;   And God said/spoke;  God fulfills His Word;

4:16      The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.     Christ is great light;  Christ seen;  Christ light is sprung up upon them;

4:17      From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, Repent:  for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.   Christ preaches;   And God said/spoke;   Christ directs them to repent;  Christ is the kingdom of heaven and is at hand;

4:18      And Jesus, waling by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea:  for they were fishers.     Christ walking;  Christ saw Peter and Andrew;  

4:19     And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fisher of men.     And God said/spoke;   Christ speaks to them;  Christ to be followed;  I will's of God to make them fishers of men;

4:20      and followed Him      Christ to be followed;

4:21      And going from thence, He saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them.    Christ goes thence; Christ saw James and John;  Christ called them;

4:22     and they followed Him.     Christ followed;

4:23      And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.     Christ went all about Galilee teaching;  Christ teaching and preaching the gospel of the kingdom;   Christ heals all manner of sickness among people; 

4:24      And His fame went throughout all Syria:  and they brought unto Him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy and He healed them.      Christ fames spreads;  Christ had sick and demonic brought to Him;  Christ heals them all;

4:25       And there followed Him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.     Christ followed from all over region;    

Chapter 5

5:1      And seeing the multitudes, He went up into a mountain; and when He was set, His disciples came unto Him:      Christ saw the multitudes;  Christ went up into mountain;  Christ set Himself;  Christ disciples came unto Him;  Christ is to be come unto Him;

5:2     And He opened His mouth, and taught them, saying,     And God said/spoke;   Christ opens His mouth;   Christ's mouth speaks;  Christ taught;

5:3 - 5:48 - Christ preaches and teaches;  And God said/spoke;  

5:8     Blessed are the pure in heart:  for they shall see God.     God knows the pure in heart;  God to be seen by them;

5:9      Blessed are the peacemakers:  for they shall be called the children of God.     God knows the peacemakers;   God's children shall be called;   

5:11      Blessed ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for My sake.      God hears and knows those that revile and persecute His children;  God's sake His children are reviled;  

5:16      Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.     God is Father;  God is in heaven;  God to be glorified;  God is Light in us;

5:17      Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:  I am not come to destroy but to fulfill.       Christ is not come to destroy law or prophets;  Chris tis come to fulfill;   

5:18      For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.    And God said/spoke;   Christ declares nothing shall pass from law;  Christ declares all shall be fulfilled;

5:19    Christ declares those that are least in kingdom of heaven;  Christ declares those that are great in kingdom of heaven;

5:20      For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.     And God said/spoke;    Christ declares those that enter into kingdom of heaven;

5:22       But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry . . . but whosoever shall say     And God said/spoke; Christ declares sins of anger and words spoken;

5:26      Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.      And God said/spoke;    

5:28       But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.     And God said/spoke;   Christ defines intent of the heart beyond look of the eye in adultery;

5:29 - 30   Christ defines those things that cause us to sin of our members, cut off, lest we perish;

5:32      But I say unto you       Christ defines and condemns divorce, which causes adultery;

5:33      but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:    God requires men to keep and perform their oaths unto Him;

5:34      But I say unto you, Swear not all, neithr by heaven; for it is God's throne:     And God said/spoke;    Christ commands for no swearing;   God's throne is in heaven, and not to be sworn by;

5:35      Nor by the earth; for it is His footstool:  neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.      God's footstool is earth; Christ is King; Christ city is Jerusalem;

5:36 - 37   Christ warns of swearing and speaking falsely;

5:39       But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.   And God said/spoke;   Christ instructs response by His people to attacks;

5:40 - 42     Christ gives instructions to our fellow men's needs;

5:44     But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you:     And God said/spoke;   Christ instructs what to do to enemy;   - love, bless, and pray for them;

5:45      That ye may be the the children of your Father which is in heaven:  for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and ont he good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.    God's children;  God's in heaven;  God makes His sun to rise on good and evil;  God's sun;  God sends rain on just and unjust;

5:46 - 47   Christ asks question (4);

5:48      Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.     Christ instructs us to be perfect as God the Father is;  God is Father;  God in heaven;  God is perfect.

Chapter 6

6:1      otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.    God is Father in heaven;   God rewards or withholds rewards;   

6:2     Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.    And God said/spoke;  Christ tells of those that give alms with evil intent of self and pride;

6:4     That thine alms may be in secret:  and thy Father which seeth in secret Himself shall reward thee openly.        God sees alms given in secret;  God rewards them openly;

6:5     Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.     And God said/spoke;   God hears and sees the prayers offered and intent of those prayers;  God rewards men for such things;  

6:6       But thou, when thou prayest, either into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to the Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.    Christ instructs prayer in the secret closet;   God the Father, to be prayed unto;  God sees thee in secret; God rewards thee openly;  

6:8     Be not ye therefore like unto them:  for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.     Christ gives warning to not be as heathen in vain repetition;  God the Father;  God knows our needs;  Omniscient; Omnipresent;

6:9      After this manner therefore pray ye:  Our Father which art in heaven.  Hallowed be Thy Name.     Christ gives example of prayer;  God is Father;  God is in heaven;  God's Name is Hallowed (Holy);

6:10      Thy kingdom come.  Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.     God's kingdom come;  God's will be done;  I will's of God to be done in earth as in heaven;    

6:11     Give us this day our daily bread.     God is provides and giver of daily bread;

6:12      And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.    God is forgiver of sins;

6:13      And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.     God is petitioned to lead out of temptation;  God is asked to deliver from evil;   God's kingdom and power and glory is forever;     

6:14      For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:     God is heavenly Father;   I will's of God to forgive;   God forgives trespasses;

6:15      But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive  your trespasses.    God forgives not;   I will's of God to not forgive if we forgive not;

6:16 - 18    Christ gives directions regarding proper fasting;

6:18     That thou appear not unto men to fast but unto thy Father which is in secret:  and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.    God is Father;   God to be fasted before and unto in secret;  God seeth in secret;  God reward openly;

6:19 - 21    Christ instructs about treasures to be laid up;

6:22 - 23    Christ instructs of eye being single to receive light; and those that are in darkness;

6:24      Ye cannot serve God and mammon.     Christ teaches on not be able to serve 2 masters;   God is to be served only;  

6:25      Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall at, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.  Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?     And God said/spoke;   Christ directs them to what is most important;   Christ ask a question;

6:26   yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.  Are ye not much better than they?     God is Father in heaven, heavenly;   Christ asks a question;  

6:27     Christ asks a question;

6:28   Christ asks a question;

6:29     And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.    And God said/spoke;   Christ compares Solomon to lilies;  

6:30     Wherefore, if  God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?     Christ asks a question;   God clothes grass;  God clothes us;

6:31    Christ asks a question (3);

6:32     (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek;) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.     Christ reveals what men seek after;   God is heavenly Father;  God knows our needs in all things;

6:33      But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.      Christ commands priority of God's kingdom first;   God's righteousness; God's kingdom;  Christ gives Divine promise of things added to those that are seeking rightly;

Chapter 7     

7:1      Christ details judgement upon men;  

7:2     For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged:  and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.     Christ reveals judgement and measure meted out;

7:3    Christ asks a question;

7:4    Christ asks a question;

7:5     Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.      Christ gives directive of moat in eye;

7:6     Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.     Christ forbids holy items to not be given to dogs nor trampled by swine;  

7:7     Ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find:  knock, and it shall be opened unto you.    Christ gives directive of asking and seeking and knowing;  God shall give, help find and open;

7:8      For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.     Christ gives directive of those that ask, receive; those that seek, find;  and those that knock it is opened;  

7:9 - 10     Christ asks a question;

7:11       If ye then, being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?      Christ asks a question;  God is Father;  God is in heaven;  God gives good things to them that ask Him;  God is asked;

7:12     Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them:  for this is the law and the prophets.    Christ gives command of our actions to men;   Christ declares law and prophets;

7:13       Enter ye in at the strait gate:  for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction and many there be which go in thereat:    Christ gives directive to enter in at strait gate;  Christ reveals those that enter in wide and broad gate to destruction and that there are many;

7:14      Because strait is the gate and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.     Christ direct to enter strait gate of the narrow way;  Christ reveals this is everlasting life;  Christ reveals few find it; 

7:15     Beware of false prophets     Christ gives warning of false prophets;

7:16   Christ asks a question;

7:17 - 20      Christ speaks of good and evil tree and their fruit;

7:21      Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven:  but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.      Christ reveals who shall enter heaven and who shall not;   Christ spoken to, 'Lord, Lord';   I will's of God;   God is Father;  God in heaven;  God knows those that do His will;

7:22     Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy Name?  and in Thy Name have cast out devils?  and in Thy Name done many wonderful works?      Christ spoken to, "Lord, Lord";   Christ is Lord;  Christ asks a question (3);   Christ Name (3);  Christ Name prophesied in; Christ Name cast out devils;  Christ Name do many wonderful works;

7:23      Then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:  depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.    I will's of God to profess to them;   Christ professes, He knows them not;  Christ knows them not as His children;  Christ commands for them to depart from Him;   

7:24      Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:     Christ gives directives to those that hear and do;  And God said/spoke;  Christ speaks;  I will's of God to compare them in this parable of house built upon rock and sand; 

7:25     Christ parable of house built on rock;

7:26      And every one that heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:    And God said/spoke;  Christ parable of house built on rock and sand;  Christ sayings heard and not done;   

7:27    Christ parable of house built on sand and great was its fall.

7:28      And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these saying, the people were astonished at His doctrine;        Christ ends sayings;  And God said/spoke;  Christ doctrine astonishes people;

7:29       For He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.     Christ taught them with authority;  Christ is Authority;

Chapter 8

8:1      When He was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him.    Christ comes down from mountain and teaching them;  Christ followed;

8:2      And behold, there came a leper and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.      Christ worshiped and sought;  I will's of God to make whole;  Christ can make clean;

8:3      And Jesus put forth His hand, and touched him, saying, I will:  be thou clean.  And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.      Christ hand put forth and touches him;  And God said/spoke;  I will's of God to make him clean;  Christ touches;   

8:4       And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.    And God said/spoke;  Christ directs him what to do and not to do;

8:5      And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto Him a centurion, beseeching Him,       Christ enters city; Christ has centurion come to Him;  Christ is besought (beseeching) by him;

8:6      And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.      God is Lord;   Christ is told of servant that is sick, grievously tormented;  

8:7      And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.     And God said/spoke;   I will's of God to come and heal him;  Christ comes; Christ heals;

8:8      The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldest come under my roof:  but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.      God is Lord;  Christ revered by centurion;   Christ speaks the word only and he shall be healed;   

8:10      When Jesus heard it, He marvelled and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.    Christ hears him;  Christ marvels;   And God said/spoke (2);  Christ followers;  Christ has not found such faith in all Israel, as in this man;  

8:11      And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.      And God said/spoke;    Christ tells of those that shall enter kingdom of heaven;

8:12    Christ tells of those that shall not enter but shall be cast into hell fire;

8:13      And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee.  And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.     And God siad/spoke;   Christ gives him directions to go back home and as he believed so be it done;   Christ heals the servant the selfsame hour;

8:14     And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.    Christ comes into Peter's home;

8:15       And HE touched her hand, and the fever left her:  and she arose, and ministered unto them.    Christ touches her hand and fever leaves;  Christ heals;

8:16     When the even was come, they brought unto Him many that were possessed with devils:  and He cast out the spirits with His Word, and healed all that were sick.     Christ was brought those possessed with devils and those that were sick;   Christ casts out demons with His Word;  And God said/spoke;  Christ Words cast out and heal;  Christ heals;

8:17      That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.     And God said/spoke;   Christ takes our infirmities;  Christ bares our sicknesses;

8:18      Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about Him, He gave commandment to depart unto the other side.     Christ sees people about Him;   the Lord commanded;   Christ gives commandment to depart to other side;

8:19     And a certain scribe came, and said unto Him, Master, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest.     Christ is come to and spoken to;  Christ is Master;   Christ to be followed whithersoever He goes and leads;

8:20      And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests,; but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head.      And God said/spoke;    Christ is Son of man; Christ head no where to lay;

8:21      And another of His disciples said unto Him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.     Christ disciples;  Christ spoken to;  

8:22       But Jesus said unto him, Follow Me, and let the dead bury their dead.     And God said/spoke;  Christ directs him to follow Him;  Christ followed;

8:23      And when He was entered into a ship, His disciples followed Him.    Christ enters ship;  Christ's disciples;  Christ's disciples follow Him; Christ to be followed;

8:24      but He was asleep.    Christ sleeps;

8:25      And His disciples came to Him, and awoke Him, saying, Lord, save us; we perish.    Christ disciples come to Him;   Christ awoken;  Christ called upon to save them, they perish;

8:26      And He saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?  Then He arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.       And God said/spoke;   Christ questions them; Christ reprimands them for lack of faith; Christ arose;  Christ rebuked winds and sea;  

8:27      What manner of Man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!       Christ is the Son of Man; Christ voice obeyed by even the winds and the sea;  

8:28      And when He was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two possessed with devils,     Christ come to country of Gergesenes;   Christ met by possessed with devils;  

8:29      And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with Thee, Jesus, Thou Son of God?  art Thou come hither to torment us before the time?     Christ is Jesus, Son of God; Christ is questioned by demons;  Christ accused of coming to torment them;

8:31     So the devils besought Him, saying, If Thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.     Christ besought by devils;  Christ cast them out;   

8:32      And He said unto them, Go.    And God said/spoke;  Christ gives command and directive - Go. 

8:34     And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus:  and when they saw Him, they besought Him that He would depart out of their coasts.        Christ to be met by city; Christ seen; Christ besought to depart; 

Chapter 9

9:1      And He entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into His own city.    Christ enters ship and passes over sea;  Christ come to His city;  Christ's city;

9:2     And, behold, they brought to Him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed:  and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer, thy sins be forgiven thee.     Christ brought man sick of palsy;  Christ sees their faith;  And God said/spoke;  Christ forgives his sin;

9:3     this man blasphemeth.     Christ accused of blasphemy;

9:4      And Jesus knowing their thoughts  said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?     Christ knows thoughts of men;   And God said/spoke;  Christ asks a question;  Christ knows evil in their hearts;

9:5   Christ asks a question; Christ confronts scribes;

9:6      But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith He to the sick of the palsy,) Arise take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.     Christ is Son of man;  Christ hath power on earth to forgive sins; And God said/spoke;  Christ gives directive for him to arise, take bed and go home;

9:8     But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.     God glorified;  God gives power to men (Son of man is power);   

9:9      And as Jesus passed forth from thence, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the receipt of custom:  and He saith unto him, Follow Me.  And he arose, and followed Him.      Christ passes forth;   Christ sees Matthew;   And God said/spoke;  Christ gives directive for him to follow Him;   Christ followed;

9:10      And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples.      Christ sits at meat in house;  Christ sat with by many; Christ disciples;

9:11      they said unto His disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?     Christ disciples;  Christ is Master; Christ questioned to why He is with publicans and sinners;

9:12      But when Jesus heard that, He said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.     Christ hears and knows;   And God said/spoke;  Christ answers their question;

9:13      But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice:  for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.     Christ commands them to learn meaning of God's word and ways;   I will's of God to have mercy and not sacrifice; Christ not come to call righteous;  Christ come to call sinners to repentance; 

9:14     Then came to Him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but Thy disciples fast not?    Christ questioned on fasting;   Christ came to;  Christ disciples fast not;

9:15      And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them?  but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.     And God said/spoke;   Christ asks a question;  Christ is the Bridegroom;  Christ children with them;   Christ taken from them;  Christ children then shall fast;  

9:16 - 17    Christ uses parable of old and new;

9:18      While He spake these things unto them, behold; there came a certain ruler, and worshipped Him, saying, My daughter is even now dead:  but come and lay Thy hand upon her, and she shall live.    Christ spoke these things unto them;  And God said/spoke; Christ worshipped; Christ asked to come and lay hand on her to bring her back from dead to live;   Christ hand; Christ gives life;

9:19      And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did His disciples.      Christ arose;  Christ followed him;  Christ disciples;   

9:20     came behind Him , and touched the hem of HIs garment:     Christ approached from behind; Christ touched;  Christ garment;

9:21      IF I may but touch His garment, I shall be whole.     Christ sought to touch hem of His garment to be made whole;   Christ garment;  Christ makes whole;

9:22      But Jesus turned Him about, and when He saw her, He said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole.  And the woman was made whole from that hour.    Christ turns about;  Christ sees her;  And God said/spoke;  Christ speaks word to comfort her;  Christ testifies that her faith in Him has made her whole;  

9:23      And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,     Christ comes to ruler's house;  Christ saw minstrels and people mourning;

9:24       He said unto them, Give place:  for the maid is not dead but sleepeth.  And they laughed Him to scorn.     And God said/spoke;   Christ gives directive for them;   Christ laughed at;

9:25      But when the people were put forth, He went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose;    Christ went in; Christ takes her hand;  

9:26   Christ fames spread abroad into all the land;   

9:27       And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed Him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.      Christ departs from there;  Christ followed;    Christ is Son of David;  Christ asked for mercy;

9:28      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.     Christ comes into house;  Christ approached by blind men;   And God said/spoke;   Christ asks them a question;   Christ able to do this;  Christ answered;  
9:29      Then touched He their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.     Christ touches them;  And God said/spoke;  Christ directs their healing to their faith;

9:30      And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.     Christ heals them;  Christ charges them;  And God said/spoke;  

9:31     But they, when they were departed spread abroad HIs fame into al that country.     Christ fame spread abroad;  

9:32      As they went out, behold, they brought to Him a dumb man possessed with a devil.     Christ brought possessed dumb man;

9:33   Christ cast out demon and heals man;  Christ marvelled at by multitudes;

9:34      And the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.    Christ falsely accused of casting out devils through prince of devils;  Christ cast out devils;

9:35     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.     Christ comes about all cities and villages;   Christ teaches in synagogues;  Christ preaches gospel;   Christ heals every sickness and disease;    

9:36     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.     Christ sees multitudes;  Christ moved with compassion;  Christ sees they are spread abroad and without shepherd.

9:37    Then saith He unto His disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;     And God said/spoke;   Christ disciples;  Christ reveals the problem, great harvest, few labourers;

9:38      Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into His harvest.     Christ gives directive to pray for labourers;  I will's of God to send forth labourers into harvest;  Christ harvest;      

Chapter 10

10:1      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.     Christ calls His disciples;  Christ disciples; Christ gives them power to cast out demons and to heal sickness and disease;
10:4     who also betrayed Him.    Christ betrayed;

10:5      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:     Christ send forth 12 disciples;  the Lord commanded;  And God said/spoke;  Christ gives directive of who not to go to;

10:6    Christ gives directive of who to go too;

10:7    Christ tells them what to preach;

10:8    Christ tells them what to do;

10:9 - 14      Christ gives specific instructions;

10:15     Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.    And God said/spoke;    Christ reveals day of judgement;

10:16      Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves:  be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.     Christ sends them forth with warning;  Christ gives instructions how to respond;

10:17    Christ gives warning of 'beware';

10:18      And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for My sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.     Christ sake;  Christ warns of what will happen to His disciples;

10:19   Christ foretells them what to do when taken before them;

10:20      For it is not ye that speak but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.    God is Spirit of Father; God's Spirit speak in you;  Christ foretells how it shall be of what to say;

10:21 - 22     Christ foretells what shall happen to His servants;

10:23      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 cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.     Christ gives directives of what to do when persecuted;   And God said/spoke;  Christ is Son of man;  Christ will come;

10:25     if they have called the Master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of His household?       Christ is Master;   Christ called Beelzebub;   Christ household;   

10:26      Christ declares what shall be revealed;    

10:27      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 God said/spoke;   Christ tells things in darkness to be told in light;  Christ directs them of what they hear in the ear to preach on housetops;     

10:28    Christ tells what to fear;

10:29      Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing?  and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.     Christ asks a question;  God sees and knows the very bird falling to the ground;

10:30     God knows the hairs of our head;

10:31    Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.      Christ commands not to fear;   God holds us of more value than birds;   

10:32     Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in heaven.     Christ to be confessed before men;   And God said/spoke;   I will's of Christ to confess before His Father;  Christ's Father;  God in heaven;

10:33      But whosoever therefore shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father which is in heaven.       Christ denied before men;  I will's of God to deny them before Father;  Christ' Father;  God in heaven;

10:34      Think not  that I am come to send peace on earth:  I came not to send peace, but a sword.   Christ come not to send peace;  Christ comes to send sword;

10:35      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.     Christ come to set family against themselves;

10:37       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.    Christ to be loved more than father or mother;  Christ not worthy to such;  Christ to be loved more than son or daughter;   Christ not worthy to such;

10:38      And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me is not worthy of Me.     Christ ot be followed after and take up cross;  Christ is not worthy to those that refuse;

10:39      He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it.     Christ sake to lose our life;  Christ found, life lost;

10:40      He that receiveth you receiveth Me, and he that receiveth Me receiveth Him that sent Me.     Christ disciples receiveth;  Christ received;  Christ received and God received;   God sent Christ;

10:42      verily I say unto you he shall in no wise lose his reward.     And God said/spoke;   Christ rewards those that that meet the needs of such;

Chapter 11

11:1      And it came to pass when Jesus had made an end of commanding His twelve disciples, He departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.     God bring it to pass; Christ made end of commanding;  the Lord commanded;   Christ disciples;   Christ departs to teach and preach;  Christ teaches and preaches;

11:2      Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,    Christ works;  Christ works heard of;  

11:3     And said unto Him, Art Thou He that should come, or do we look for another?       Christ spoken to;   Christ questioned;  Christ should come and has come;

11:4      Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:    And God said/spoke;    Christ answers question;   Christ gives directive to go and show John;   Christ works heard and seen, H&S;

11:5     Christ heals blind, lame walk, lepers cleansed and deaf hear and dead are raised up and poor hear Gospel;    

11:6     And blessed is he whoso ever shall not be offended in Me.    Christ blesses those that are not offended in Him;  Christ is not our offence;

11:7     And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see?  A reed shaken with the wind?       Christ speaks to the multitudes concerning John ;  And God said/spoke; Christ asks a question (2);  

11:8    Christ continues about John;  Christ asks a question (2);

11:9      yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.     And God said/spoke;   Christ declares John more than a prophet;  Christ asks a question;

11:10     For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send My messenger before Thy face, which shall prepare Thy way before Thee.    Christ declares fulfillment of prophecy;  And God said/spoke;   God sends His messenger;   Christ messenger; Christ face;  Christ way;  Christ way prepared before Him;

11:11      Verily I say unto you,       And God said/spoke;  Christ declares great and small in kingdom of God; 

11:12 - 15   Christ tells of the kingdom;

11:15    Christ directs for us to hear;

11:16      But whereunto shall I liken this generation?      Christ asks a question;  Christ likens this generation with this comparison;

11:17 - 18   Christ declares this peoples response and John's impact;

11:19      The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners.  But wisdom is justified of her children.      Christ is Son of man;   Christ accused of false accusations;

11:20      Then began He to upbraid the cities wherein most of His mighty works were done, because they repented not:     Christ upbraids cities;  Christ mighty works;   

11:21     Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.      Christ pronounces woe upon them;  Christ mighty works were done; Christ tells what would have happened if done in those cities;   

11:22     But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment than for you.    And God said/spoke;   Christ reveals day of judgement for them;

11:23     if the mighty works which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.     Christ pronounces what would have been for Sodom;   Christ's mighty works;  

11:24     But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for thee.     And God said/spoke;    Christ foretells day of judgement;

11:25     At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank Thee, O FAther, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things form the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.     And God said/spoke;   Christ answers and says;   Christ thanks Father;  God the Father, Lord of heaven and earth;  God has hid from wise and prudent;  God has revealed unto babes;

11:26     Even so, Father:  for so it seemed good in Thy sight.    God the Father makes it so;  God's sight it is good;

11:27     All things are delivered unto Me of My Father:  and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and He to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.     God delivers all things unto Son; God the Father;  Father is His'; Father knows Son; Son knows the Father; Son reveals Father to whomsoever He will;   

11:28      Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.   Christ commands to come unto Him;  I will's of God to give rest;

11:29    Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart:  and ye shall find rest unto your souls.       Christ yoke to be taken upon them;     Christ gives directive; Christ to be learned from;  Christ is meek and lowly in heart;  

11:30      For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.     Christ yoke is easy;  Christ burden is light;

Chapter 12

12:1      At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and His disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.     Christ went through;  Christ disciples;

12:2      But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto Him, Behold, Thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.     Christ questioned by Pharisees;  Christ disciples;

12:3     But He said unto them, Have ye not read what David did,      And God said/spoke;   Christ answers them of David's account;   

12:4     How he entered into the house of God      Christ asks a question; God's house entered;   

12:5     Christ asks question;  Christ declares their sin;

12:6    But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.     And God said/spoke;   Christ is greater than temple;  

12:7      But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.    I will's of God to have mercy;   Christ condemns them;

12:8    For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.     Christ is Son of man, Lord; Christ is Lord of sabbath;

12:9     And when He was departed thence, He went into their synagogue:     Christ departs;  Christ went into synagogue;

12:10     And behold, there was a man which had his hand withered.  And they asked Him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days?  that they might accuse Him.       Christ asked question;  Christ sought to be accused by them;

12:11     And He said unto them,   And God said/spoke;    Christ asks a question to answer their questioning of healing on the sabbath day;

12:12    Christ asks a question and gives directive regarding sabbath day;

12:13     Then saith He to the man, Stretch forth thine hand.  And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.     And God said/spoke;    Christ gives directive to man with withered hand;  Christ heals man;

12:14      Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against Him, how they might destroy Him.     Christ spoken against;  Christ sought to be destroyed;

12:15     But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew Himself from thence:  and great mulitudes followed Him, and He healed them all;     Christ knew it;  Omniscient; Christ withdraws Himself;  Christ followed;  Christ heals them all;

12:16      And charged them that they should not make Him known:    Christ gives charge and directive;  

12:17      That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,    And God said/spoke;   Christ prophecy fulfilled;

12:18       Behold My servant, Whom I have chosen; My Beloved, in Whom My soul is well pleased; I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.     God's servant is Christ; God chose Him; Christ is God's Beloved;  God is well pleased with Christ;  I will's of God to put His Spirit upon Him;  Christ shows judgement to Gentiles;

12:19     He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear His voice in the streets.    Christ neither strives nor cries;   Christ's voice;

12:20     A bruised reed shall He not break, and smoking flax shall He not quench, till He send forth judgment unto victory.       Christ not break bruised reed; Christ not quench smoking flax;  Christ sends forth judgment unto victory;

12:21      And in His Name shall the Gentiles trust.     Christ name trusted by Gentiles;

12:22      Then was brought unto Him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb:  and He healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.      Christ brought one possessed, blind and dumb;  Christ heals him from blindness and dumbness, and devil possession;

12:23     Is not this the son of David?    Christ is son of David;

12:24       But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.    Christ falsely accused by Pharisees;

12:25      And Jesus knew, their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:     Christ knows their thoughts;  And God said/spoke;   Christ teaches them on a house divided;

12:26    Christ asks a question;

12:27     And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out?  therefore they shall be your judges.    Christ asks a question;   Christ casts out devils; Christ falsely accused of casting out devils by Beelzebub;

12:28      but if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.    Christ casts out devils by Spirit of God;  God's Spirit casts out devils;   God's kingdom is come unto you;

12:29    Christ asks a question;

12:30      He that is not with Me is against Me; and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth abroad.      Christ is to be with and not against Him;   Christ to be gathered with, and not scattering abroad; 

12:31      Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men:  but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.     And God said/spoke;    Holy Ghost not to be blasphemed;   God will not forgive blasphemy sin against Holy Ghost;

12:32      And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him, but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.       Christ is Son of man;   Christ spoken against, can be forgiven;   Holy Ghost spoken against, cannot be forgiven;   

12:34      Christ asks a question;  

12:36      But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgement.     And God said/spoke;   Christ gives directive of words spoken and accountability;

12:38      Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answers, saying, Master, we would see a sign from Thee.    Christ spoken to;   Chris tis Master;   Christ sought for a sign;

12:39     But He answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah.     And God said/spoke;  Christ answers and says;   Christ teaches them on signs given and not given;   

12:40      For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heat of the earth.      Christ prophesies of His death and resurrection, 3 days and nights; Chris tis Son of man;

12:41      because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.     Christ rebukes this generation for their rebellion; Christ praises generation of Nineveh for hearing and obeying Jonah;   

12:42     Christ blesses queen of south for seeking wisdom;  Christ condemns generation 

12:43 - 44    Christ teaches on unclean spirit;

12:45    Christ condemns this generation for their folly;

12:46     While He yet talked to the people, behold, His mother and His brethren stood without, desiring to speak with Him.     And God said/spoke;   Christ talks to the people;   Christ mother; Christ brethren; Christ desires to be talked with;

12:47      Then one said unto Him, Behold thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with Thee.     Christ spoken to;   Christ mother; Christ brethren;  Christ desired to speak with;

12:49      But He answered and said unto him that told Him, Who is My mother?  and who are My brethren?     And God said/spoke;   Christ answers him;  Christ asks 2 questions;

12:50       For whosoever shall do the will of My Father which is in heaven, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother.     I will's of God to be done;   God the Father is Christ Father; Christ calls them His  brother, sister and mother;

Chapter 13

13:1      The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.     Christ went out of house;  Christ sat by sea side;

13:2      And great multitudes were gathered together unto Him, so that He went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.        Christ gathered unto by multitudes;   Christ went into ship;  Christ sat;

13:3      And He spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;     And God said/spoke;   Christ teaches them in parables;  

13:3 - 8     Christ teaches parable of sower and seed;
13:9      Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.      Christ directs them to hear;

13:10       And the disciples came, and said unto Him, Why speakest Thou unto them in parables?      Christ asked a question;  Christ disciples come unto Him;  Christ spoken to; Christ questioned of why speaking parables;

13:11      He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mystery of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is i not given.     Christ answered and said;   And God said/spoke;    Christ explains they are to know the mystery of the kingdom of heaven;   

13:12    Christ tells them that he that has, it is shall be given;  and he that has not it shall be taken;

13:13      Therefore speak I to them in parables, because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.     And God said/spoke;    Christ declares they have eyes but cannot see, they have ears but cannot hear;  Christ declares they cannot understand;

13:14     And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear,     Christ quotes Isaiah the prophet;  God's word fulfilled;

13:15       For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed;. . . and should be converted, and I should heal them.     Christ declares their sin in their heart, their ears and their eyes;    Christ declares they should be converted;   Christ should heal them;

13:16      but blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.     Christ blesses their eyes and ears;

13:17       For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see; and have not seen them;       And God said/spoke;    Christ reveals those that desired to see and hear what they are seeing and hearing;  

13:18      Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.     Christ directs them to hear the parable of the sower;

13:19 - 23       Christ declares the meaning of the parable of the sower and the seed.

13:24      Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:     Christ puts forth parable unto them;  And God said/spoke;   Christ teaches parable of wheat and tares;  

13:24 - 30     Parable of wheat and tares;   

13:31     Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:     Christ puts forth another parable unto them;  And God said/spoke;    Christ teaches of mustard seed;   

13:31 - 32   Parable of mustard seed;

13:33     Another parable spake He unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.     Christ puts forth another parable unto them;  And God said/spoke;   Christ teaches parable of leaven sown;

13:34     All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake He not unto them:     And God said/spake (2);   Christ teaches them by parable only;  

13:35      That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.     And God said/spoke;   I will's of God, Christ opens HIs mouth in parables;  I will's of God to utter things secret;

13:36      Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house:  and His disciples came unto Him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.      Christ sends away multitude;  Christ went into house;  Christ disciples come unto Him;  Christ asked of parable of tares;  

13:37      And He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;    Christ answers and says;   And God said/spoke;  

13:41      The Son of man shall send forth His angels, and they shall gather out of His kingdom all things, that offend, and them which do iniquity.     Chris tis the Son of man; Christ sends forth HIs angels;  

13:43     Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father; Who hath ears to hear let him hear.     God's is Father;  God's kingdom gather righteous; Christ commands men to hear;  

13:44     Christ teaches parable on kingdom of heaven as treasure in field;

13:45 - 46    Christ teaches parable on kingdom of heaven as pearl of great price;

13:47 - 50     Christ teaches parable of kingdom of heaven as net of souls;

13:51      Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things?  They say unto Him, Yea, Lord.     And God said/spoke;    Christ asks a question;  Christ answered;  Christ is Lord;

13:52      Then said He unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.     And God said/spoke;   Christ instructs on kingdom of heaven;

13:53      And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, He departed thence.     God brings it to pass;  Christ finished parables;  Christ departs;

13:54      And when He was come into His Own country, He taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?     Christ comes into His Own country;  Christ country/home; Christ teaches them; Christ questioned on His wisdom and mighty works; 

13:55      Is not this the carpenter's son?  is not His mother called Mary?  and HIs brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?      Christ question on His family; Christ is carpenter's son; Christ mother is Marcy;  Christ brethren;

13:56     And HIs sisters, are they not all with us?  Whence then hath this Man all these things?    Christ questioned;  Christ sisters; Christ Man with all these things;

13:57     And they were offended in Him.  But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in His Own country, and in His Own house.     Christ offended in them;   And God said/spoke;   Christ is Prophet;  Christ without honour in His Own country, in His Own house;

13:58      And He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.    Christ did not many mighty works due to  their unbelief;

Chapter 14

14:1      At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus.     Christ fame heard of by Herod;

14:2      and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in Him.     Christ shews forth mighty works;

14:3 - 11   Death of John the Baptist;

14:12      And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.   Christ is Jesus;  Christ told of John's death;

14:13    When Jesus heard of it, He departed thence by ship into a desert place apart:  and when the people had heard thereof, they followed Him on foot out of the cities.    Christ hears it; Christ departs into desert place apart; Christ followed;

14:14     And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and He healed their sick.     Christ went forth;  Christ sees multitude;  Christ moved with compassion toward them;  Christ heals sick;

14:15     And when it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, . . . send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.     Christ disciples;   Christ approached to send multitude away;

14:16     But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.    And God said/spoke;   Christ directs them not to depart but give them to eat;

14:17    And they say unto Him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.     Christ answered by disciples; 

14:18     He said, Bring them hither to Me.     And God said/spoke;  Christ directs them to bring them to Him;

14:19      And He commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, He blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to His disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.      the Lord commanded;  Christ commands them to sit; Christ blesses and breaks and gives bread to disciples; Christ disciples; 

14:20 - 21    Christ miracle of feeding 5000 and taking up fragments;

14:22     And straightway Jesus constrained His disciples to get into a ship, and to go before Him unto the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.     Christ straightway constrains disciples to get into ship and go;   Christ disciples; Christ send them before Him to other side; Christ sends multitudes away; 

14:23     And when He had sent the multitudes away, HE went up into a mountain apart to pray:  and when the evening was come, He was there alone.     Christ sends away multitudes; Christ goes up into mountain to pray;   Christ alone;

14:25     And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.     Christ goes unto them;  Christ walks on water;

14:26     And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.     Christ disciples sees Him;  Christ walking on the water;

14:27      But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.     Christ speaks straightway unto them;   And God said/spoke;   Christ gives directive for them to be of good cheer;  Christ commands them to not fear;   Christ declares that is it He;

14:28     And Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come unto Thee on the water.     Christ answered and spoke to by Peter; Christ ask questioned if it be Him;  Christ asked to allow him to walk on water and come to Him;

14:29     And He said, Come.  . . . he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.    And God said/spoke;  Christ directs him to come unto Him;   Christ gone to by Peter;

14:30     he cried, saying, Lord, save me.     Christ cried unto;   Christ petitioned to save him;

14:31      And immediately Jesus stretched forth His hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?      out;  Christ catches him;  And God said/spoke;  Christ asks a question of his little faith;

14:33     Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped Him, saying, Of a truth Thou art the Son of God.     Christ worshipped and came unto;  Christ recognized as Son of God;  Christ Name - Son of God;

14:34     Christ goes over and comes into land;

14:35     And when the men of that place had knowledge of Him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto Him all that were diseased;     Christ knowledge of Him being there in that place;  Christ is brought all that were diseased;

14:36     And besought Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment:  and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.     Christ besought to be touched and healed;   Christ garment hem to be touched;  Christ touched and were made perfectly whole;  Christ heals;
