THE ACTIVITY OF GOD IN THE BIBLE - LUKE - CHAPTER 9 - 16; PART II

 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.

LUKE

Chapter 9

9:1      Then He called His twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.      Christ calls His 12 disciples;  Christ disciples;  And God said/spoke;   Christ gives them power and authority over devils and diseases;

9:2      And He sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.      Christ sends them;  God's kingdom;  Christ sends them to heal sick;

9:3       And He said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coasts apiece.      And God said/spoke;    Christ directs them to take nothing with them on their journey;

9:3 - 5   Christ gives them instructions on what to do and how to do it;   Christ speaks of those that receive them not and how to respond;

9:6     Christ disciples depart and obey Him; 

9:7       Now Herod the tetrarch, heard of all that was done by Him and he was perplexed,       Christ heard of;  Christ works done and declared;

9:9       who is this, of whom I hear such things?  And he desired to see Him.      Christ works and deeds and teachings spoken and shared and Herod hears of Him;    Christ desired to be seen;

9:10       And the apostles, when they were returned, told Him all that they had done.   And He took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.      Christ disciples return;  Christ told of all that they had done.   Christ takes them;  Christ went with them into private desert place;   

9:11      And the people, when they knew it, followed Him:  and He received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.     Christ followed;  Christ receives them;  And God said/spoke;  Christ teaches them of kingdom of God;   God's kingdom taught and done; Christ heals them;

9:12       And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto Him, Send the multitude away,        Christ disciples come to Him;   Christ requested to send multitude away;

9:13       But He said unto them, Give ye them to eat.  And they said, WE have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.        And God said/spoke;   Christ directs them to give the people to eat;   Christ disciples answer Him that they are not able to do so;

9;14      For they were about five thousand men.  And HE said to His disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.      And God said/spoke;    Christ disciples;  Christ instructs them to make them sit down by 50 in a company;

9:15     Christ obeyed;

9:16      Then He took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.      Christ takes loaves and fishes;  Christ looks up to heaven; Christ blesses;  Christ brakes;  Christ gives them to His disciples;

9:17    Christ miracle of feeding 5000 and gathering up 12 baskets full afterward;

9:18        And it came to pass, as He was alone praying, His disciples were with Him:  and HE asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?       Christ alone praying; Christ disciples with Him;   Christ asks them a question; Christ asked them who the people say He was;

9:19   Christ answered by His disciples;

9;20      He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am?  Peter answering said, The Christ of God.     And God said/spoke; Christ asks them question; Christ asks them who they say HE is; Christ answered by Peter;  Christ Name - The Christ of God.

9:21      And He straitly charged the, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;      Christ charges them to tell no man;  the Lord commanded;

9:22       Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes and be slain, and be raised the third day.       And God said/spoke;   Christ name - Son of man; Christ must suffer many things;  Christ to be rejected by elders, priests, scribes;  Christ to be slain; Christ to be raised third day;

9:23       And HE said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.      And God said/spoke;  I will's of God to come after Christ;   Christ to be come after; Christ tells salvation path; Christ followed;

9:24       For whosoever will save his life shall lose it:  but whosoever will lose his life for My sake, the same shall save it.     Christ declares who saves his life shall lose it;  Christ declares who loses his life for Christ sake shall save it;  Christ sake;

9:25     Christ asks a question; Christ teaches the value of the soul to be saved and not cast away;

9:26      For whosoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels.      Christ is not be ashamed of; Christ knows who is ashamed of Him and His words;  Christ Name - Son of man; Christ will be ashamed of them; Christ comes in His glory;  Christ glory; Christ Father; God the Father;

9:27       But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.      Christ tells them truth; And God said/spoke;  Christ tells them of future; God's kingdom seen coming;

9:28       And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, He took Peter and JOhn and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.      Christ sayings;  And God said/spoke;    Christ takes Peter, James and John;   Christ and these go up into mountain to pray;

9:29      And as He prayed, the fashion of His countenance was altered, and His raiment was white and glistering.      Christ prayed; Christ countenance changed;  Christ raiment ;

9:30       And, behold, there talked with Him two men, which were MOses and Elias:     Christ talked with by Moses and Elijah;  And God said/spoke;

9:31      Who appeared in glory, and spake of His decease, which He should accomplish at Jerusalem.      Christ death spoken of by them;  Christ accomplish this at Jerusalem;

9:32        But Peter and they that were with Him were heavy with sleep:  and when they were awake, they saw His glory, and the two men that stood with Him.     Christ with; Christ glory seen; Christ stood with by the other two;

9:33     And it came to pass, as they departed from Him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here:  and let us make three tabernacles; one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias:  not knowing what he said.       Christ departed from;   Christ spoken to by Peter;  Christ asked to build 3 tabernacles for them and Him;  

9:35       And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This My beloved Son; hear Him.     And God said/spoke;  Christ is God the Father's beloved Son; God declares Christ is His beloved Son; God instructs them to Hear Christ;  Christ to be heard;

9:36       And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone.   And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.      God's voice departs and passes;  Christ alone;   

9:37       And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met Him.      Christ and His disciples come down the hill; Christ met;

9:38       And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech Thee, look upon my son:  for he is mine only child.       Christ cried out to;  Christ Name - Master; Christ besought for his only son;

9:40      And I besought Thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.      Christ disciples besought to cast devil out;

9:41      And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you?  Bring thy son hither.      Christ answers him;  And God said/spoke;  Christ asks a question; Christ rebukes them, faithless and perverse generation; Christ asks how long shall be with them and suffer them;  Christ instructs father to bring his son to Him;

9;42      And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.      Christ rebukes devil;   Christ heals boy;  Christ delivers him again to his father;

9:43      And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God.  But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, He said unto His disciples,       God's power - Omnipotent;  God's power amazed at;  Christ works done, they wondered at;  And God said/spoke;  Christ speaks to His disciples;  Christ disciples;

9:44      Let these sayings sink down into your ears:  for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.      Messianic prophecy of Christ betrayal and death;   Christ Name - Son of Man; Christ instructs them hear and let sink down these words of Christ;  Christ to be delivered into hands of men;

9:45        But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not:  and they feared to ask Him of that saying.       Christ saying not understood; Christ words meaning hid from them; Christ feared to be asked of that saying;  And God said/spoke;

9:46     Christ disciples have a reasoning among them;

9:47      And Jesus perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by Him.     Christ perceives  the thoughts of their hearts;   Christ takes child;  Christ sets child by Him;

9:48      And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in My Name receiveth Me:  and whosoever shall receive Me receiveth Him that sent Me:  for he that is least among you all the same shall be great.       And God said/spoke;   Christ received as a child; Christ Name; God received; God sent Christ; 

9:49       And John answered and said, Master, we saw on casting out devils in Thy Name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.       Christ answered and spoke to;  Christ Name - Master;  Christ Name casting out devils; Christ and HIs disciples not followed;

9:50      And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not:  for he that is not against us is for us.      And God said/spoke;     Christ instructs them to not forbid such;  Christ not against means they are for Him;

9:51       And it came to pass, when the time was come that He should be received up, He stedfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,     Christ time, come to pass;  Christ received up;  Christ stedfastly sets His face;  Christ face set to go to Jerusalem;

9:52       And sent messengers before His face:  and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for Him.     Christ sends messengers before His face to prepare;  Christ face;  Christ has them make ready for Him;

9:53       And they did not receive Him, because His face was as though He would go to Jerusalem.       Christ not received;   Christ face set to go to Jerusalem;   Christ would go to Jerusalem;

9:54      And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt Thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?     Christ disciples, James and John asks Him a question;  Christ asked to command fire to come down and consume them

9:55      But He turned, and rebuked the, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.     Christ turns;  Christ rebukes them;  And God said/spoke;   Christ rebukes them that they know not what manner they are of;

9:56      For the Son of  man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.  And they went to another village.      Christ Name - Son of Man;   Christ did not come to destroy lives;  Christ came to save lives;   Christ and His disciples went to another village;

9:57       And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto Him, Lord, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest.      Christ joined by man;  Christ spoke to;  Christ told that he would follow Him;   Christ followed wherever He goes;  Christ goes;

9:58      And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head.     And God said/spoke; Christ Name - Son of man; Christ has no where to lay His head; Christ head;

9:59      And HE said unto another, Follow Me.  But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go, and bury my father.      And God said/spoke;    Christ commands him to follow Him; Christ to be followed;   Christ answered;   Christ rejected;

9:60      Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead:  but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.      And God said/spoke;    Cist instructs him to go and preach;  God's kingdom preached;

9:61      And another also said, Lord, I will follow Thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.       Christ spoken to that he will follow Him and serve Him;  Christ to be followed;   

9:62      And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand ot the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God      And God said/spoke;    Christ warns to those that look back;   God's kingdom to be fit for;

Chapter 10

10:1       After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before His face into every city and place, whither He Himself would come.       Christ appoints 70 to serve; Christ sends them two by tow before HIs face;   Christ face; Christ would come to these places;

10:2     Therefore siad He unto them, The harvest truly is great; but the labourers are few:  pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth labourers into HIs harvest.      And God said/spoke;    Christ declares truth of souls, harvest is great, laborers are few;  Christ instructs to pray to the Lord for laborers;   God is Lord of harvest;  God will send forth labourers into His harvest;  God's harvest of souls;

10:3      go your ways; behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.      Christ instructs them to go their way;   Christ send them forth;

10:4 -  Christ instructs on what they are to do as they go forth;

10:9       And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom fo God is come nigh unto you.     God's kingdom is come nigh;   Christ instructs them what to do and what to say;

10:10 - 11    Christ instructs them what to do when not received and what to say;

10:11       that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.      God's kingdom is come nigh;

10:12       But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.    And God said/spoke;    Christ declares what shall be for that city that rejected them;

10:13        Woe unto thee, Chorazin!    Woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if they mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon,       Christ pronounces woe upon these two cities;  God's works done among them;

10:14 - 16       Christ declares judgement on these cities that rejected Him;  Christ speaks of judgement on those wicked cities of past;

10:16        He that heareth you heareth Me; and he that despiseth you despiseth Me:  and He that despiseth Me despiseth Him that sent Me.       Christ disciples heard;  Christ disciples despised; Christ despised; God the Father despised; God sent Christ;  Christ sent;

10:17       And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy Name.      Christ disciples return unto Him;  Christ told of what they had done through His Name;  Christ Name causes devils to be subject unto them;

10:18        And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.       And God said/spoke;    Christ beheld Satan fall from heaven;

10:19       Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy:  and nothing shall by any means hurt you.      Christ gives them power to tread on serpents and scorpions;  Christ gives them power over enemy;  

10:20     Christ tells them what to truly rejoice in;

10:21      In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth that Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes, even so.  Father, for so it seemed good in Thy sight.       And God said/spoke;   Christ rejoices in spirit;  Christ thanks Father;  God is Lord of heaven and earth; God hast hid these things;  God has revealed these things; God the Father it seemed good in His sight;  God's sight;

10:22        All things are delivered to Me of My Father:  and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father, and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal Him.       God the fAther delivers all things unto the Son;  Christ the Son not known by men;  God the Father knows Who the Son is; God the Father known by no man, but the Son; Christ the Son will reveal Father to whom they will;

10:23      And HE turned Him unto His disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see;        Christ turns unto His disciples;  Christ disciples;  And God said/spoke;  Christ blesses them for what they have seen;

10:24       For I tell you, that  many prophets and kings have desired to see these things which ye see, and have not seen them, and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.      And God said/spoke;    Christ tells them that they have been blessed to see and hear what they have seen and heard;  

10:25       And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted Him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?       Christ tempted;  Christ Name - Master; Christ asked question regarding inheriting eternal life;

10:26       He said unto him, What is written in the law?  how readest thou?      And God said/spoke;  Christ asks him question (2);

10:27      And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.      Christ answered;   God to be loved with all our heart, soul, strength and mind;

10:28      And He said unto hi, Thou hast answered right, this do, and thou salt live.      And God said/spoke;   Christ tells him he answered rightly; 

10:29       But he willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?     Christ asked question; 

10:30        And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem       And God said/spoke;  Christ answers him;  Christ tells the parable of the Good Samaritan;

10:30 - 35    The parable of the good Samaritan;

10:36       Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?     Christ asks a question;

10:37       And he said, He that shewed mercy on him, Then said Jesus unto him, Go and do thou likewise.      Christ answered;  And God said/spoke;   Christ gives directive for him to go and do likewise;

10:38       Now it came to pass, as they went, that He entered into a certain village:  and a certain woman named Martha received Him into her house.       Christ and His disciples went;  Christ enters certain village;  Christ received into Martha's house;

10:39       And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard His word.      Christ feet she sat at;   Christ word heard; And God said/spoke;

10:40      But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to Him, and said, Lord, dost Thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone?  bid her therefore that she help me.      Christ came to;  Christ asked question;   Christ questioned on not caring; Christ asked to bid her help her;

10:41       And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:      Christ answers her;  And God said/spoke;

10:42      But one thing is needful:  and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.       Christ declares one thing needful; Christ declares Mary hath chosen that;

Chapter 11

11:1      And it came ot pass, that as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said unto Him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.      Christ praying in certain place;  Christ ceases; Christ disciples asked Him;   Christ asked to teach them to pray;

11:2       And He said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed by Thy name.  Thy kingdom come.   Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.       And God said/spoke;   Christ teaches them how to pray;   God if Father in heaven;  God's Name is hallowed, holy; God's kingdom to come;  God's will to be done;

11:3      God is asked for daily bread;

11:4   God is asked to forgive us our sin's;  God is asked to not lead us into temptation;  God is asked to deliver us from evil;

11:5      And HE said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend,      And God said/spoke; 

11:5 - 7     Christ teaches them of those that come having a persistent, urgent need;

11:8      But I say unto you,      And God said/spoke;   Christ teaches them of great need of importunity;

11:9       And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.      And God said/spoke;    Christ teaches to ask, seek and knock;

11:10     Christ teaches those that ask, receive; those that seek, find; and those that knock, it shall be opened;

11:11 - 12    Christ asks 3 questions; teaching on asking and receiving rightly by God;

11:13       If ye then, being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children:  how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?      Christ asks a question; God is heavenly Father;  God gives the Holy Spirit to those that ask;  God asked for Holy Spirit;  

11:14       And HE was casting out a devil, and it was dumb.  And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.       Christ casts out devil;  Christ heals the dumb;

11:15       But some of them said, HE casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.     Christ accused falsely of casting out demons through Beelzebub;

11:16       And others, tempting Him, sought of Him a sign from heaven.      Christ tempted by people;  Christ sought to do a sign from heaven;

11:17      But He, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.     Christ knows their thoughts; Omniscient; And God said/spoke; Christ declares to them a house divided against itself can not stand;

11:18      If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?  because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.       Christ asks them a question;   Christ knew what they said about Him; Christ accused of casting out devils through Beelzebub;

11:19       And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out?  therefore shall they be your judges.      Christ answers their false claims;   Christ asks them a question;

11:20      But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.      Christ answers them how He casts devils;   God's finger casts out devils; God's kingdom is come upon you;

11:21 - 22   Christ teaches them on the strong man conquering;

11:23       He that is not with Me is against Me; and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth.      Christ declares those that are not with Him, are against Him;  Christ is to be with;  Christ against; Christ declares those that gather not with Him, scatters;  

11:24 - 26    Christ teaches and declares when spirit goes out and then returns with more spirits, last end is worse than beginning;

11:27        And it came to pass as He spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto Him, Blessed is the womb that bare Thee, and the paps which Thou hast sucked.      And God said/spoke;   Christ teaching these things;  Christ spoke to; Christ bore; Christ sucked paps;

11:28       But He said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.      And God said/spoke;   Christ blesses those that hear word of God and keep it;  God's word heard;  God's word to be kept;

11:29        And when the people were gathered thick together, He began to say, This i an evil generation:  they seek a sign;      And God said/spoke;   Christ condemns this evil generation for seeking a sign;  Christ foretells them no sign but the sign of Jonah;

11:30      For as Jonah was a sign unto the Ninevites so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.    Christ name - Son of man;  Christ shall be a sign to this generation;

11:31       and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.     Christ greater than Solomon;  Christ here;

11:32       and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.      Christ greater than Jonah;  Christ here;

11:33 - 34   Christ teaches on the light of the body through the eye vs. that which is evil;

11:35       Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.     Christ warns with 'take heed';  Christ warns the light to be not darkness;

11:37       And as He spake, a certain Pharisee besought Him to dine with him:  and He went in, and sat down to meat.      And God said/spoke;   Christ besought to dine;  Christ went in; Christ sat down;

11:38      And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that He had not first washed before dinner.      Christ marvelled at;   Christ did not first wash before dinner;  

11:39      And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter, but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.       And God said/spoke;    Christ condemns the Pharisees for outward appearance, but inward is wicked;

11:40    Ye fools, did not He that made that which is without make that which is within also?      Christ asks a question;    God made that which was within and without;

11:41     Christ teaches them to give rightly;

11:42       But woe unto you, Pharisees!  for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God:  these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.      Christ pronounces Woe upon Pharisees;   God's love and judgement passed over;  Christ rebukes them they ought to have done the things of God and leave the other things undone;

11:43       Woe unto you Pharisees!      Christ pronounces Woe upon Pharisees for their vanity and self-exaltation;

11:44      Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!      Christ pronounces Woe upon scribes and Pharisees;  Christ declares them hypocrites;  

11:45       Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto Him, Master, thus saying Thou reproachest us also.       Christ answered by lawyer;   Christ Name - Master; 

11:46        And HE said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers!      And God said/spoke;    Christ pronounces Woe upon lawyers;  

11:47        Woe unto you!       Christ pronounces Woe upon them;  Christ reveals they killed the prophets of the Lord;

11:48       Christ condemns them for what they and their fathers had done in killing God's prophets;

11:49        Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:       God's wisdom speaks;    I will's of God to send prophets and apostles, and that they should slain and persecuted;

11:50   Christ reveals that all the blood of His servants shall be required of this generation;

11:51     verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.      And God said/spoke;    God will require blood from Abel to Zacharias of this generation;

11:52        Woe unto you, lawyers!  for ye have taken away the key of knowledge:  ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.       Christ pronounces Woe upon lawyers;  Christ declares to them that they enter not, and that God knows that they hindered those that were entering;

11:53      And as He said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge Him vehemently, and to provoke Him to speak of many things:      Christ urged vehemently;  And God said/spoke;   Christ provoked to speak and answer;   

11:54       Laying wait for Him and seeking to catch something out of His mouth, that they might accuse Him.       Christ laid wait for;  Christ mouth speaking;   Christ sought to be accused;

12:7     God has all our hairs on our head numbered;

12:8      Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess Me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:      And God said/spoke;   Christ to be confessed before men;  Christ Name - Son of man;   Christ shall confess them before God's angels;   God's angels;

12:9        But he that denieth Me before men shall be denited before the angels of God.     Christ denied before men;   Christ denies them before God's angels;   God's angels;

12:16        And He spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:   And God said/spoke;    Christ teaches parable of rich fool;

12:16 - 21    Christ teaches parable of rich fool;

12:20       But God said unto him, Thou fool this night thy soul shall be required of thee; then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?      And God said/spoke;    God asks a question;  God condemns him as a fool;   God knows when every man's soul shall be required of him;

12:28       If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will He clothe you, O ye of little faith?        God clothes the grass;  Christ ask a question;   God is able to clothe us;

12:29       And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink neither be ye of doubtful mind.      Christ warns them to not seek physical things;  Christ tells them to not be doubtful minds;

12:30      For all these things do the nations of the world seek after and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.       Christ declares God knows what we have need of;   God the Father; 

12:31       But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.      God's kingdom to be sought;  Christ declares these things added to His servants;

12:41      Then, Peter said unto Him, Lord, speakest Thou this parable unto us, or even to all?       Christ asked of Peter;  Christ is Lord; Christ asked question regarding parable;

12:42         And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?       And God said/spoke;    Christ asks a question;   Christ declares wise steward is faithful that the Lord shall reward;

12:45       But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;       God knows what men say in their heart;   Christ delay in His coming;  Christ coming;   Christ describes unfaithful servant returning to worldly sins;

12:46       The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.    Christ is Lord of that servant;  I will's of God to come in a day when they look not for Him;  Christ looked not for;  I will's of God to cut them asunder;  I will's of God to appoint them their portion with the unbelievers;   

12:47      And that servant, which knew his lord's will and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.       God's will is to be known;  Christ servants to prepare themselves for His coming; God's will to be done;  God will punish those that do not prepare;   

12:48     Christ gives warning that where much is given, much is required;

13:1       There were present at that season some that told Him of the Galileaans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.      Christ told of Pilates deeds against Galileans;

13:19     It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.      Christ compares kingdom of God to grain of mustard seed;   God's kingdom grows, waxes great and lodges;  

13:20      And again He said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?     And God said/spoke;  Christ asks a question;   Christ likens kingdom of God; God's kingdom likened to;

13:21      It is like leaven, which a woman took and bid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.      Christ likens kingdom of God to leaven that leavens the whole;   

13:22       And He went through the cities and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem.       Christ went through cities;  Christ taught;  Christ journeyed toward Jerusalem;

13:23      Then said one unto Him, Lord, are there few that be saved?  And He said unto them,      Christ asked a question;   And God said/spoke;

13:28      There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust not.      Christ teaches them of hell;  God's kingdom; 

13:29      And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.      Christ tells they shall come from all areas;   God's kingdom they shall sit down with Him;

16:14     And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things:  and they derided Him.     Christ heard;  Christ derided by Pharisees;

16:15      And HE said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts:  for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.    And God said/spoke;  Christ declares their sin of justifying themselves;   God knows the heart;  God sight it is an abomination for that which they highly esteem among men;
