V1 You can read the Gospel of Matthew in a few hours yet the Gospel of Matthew covers years of time giving us a very narrow window into the life of Christ and everything he was doing. |
During this time Jesus not only chose apostles as his disciples to learn The Way of the Kingdom of God but also many others including the chosen of the seventy we see in Luke who were His Sanhedrin.[1] These men began a daily ministration of the practice of Pure Religion that would be a part of the redemption of Christ. |
V2 "seeing their faith ... ... thy sins be forgiven thee.". Θάρσει, Tharsei "Take courage,"[2] |
V4 Jesus knew their thoughts. |
V5 What is easier forgive or Arise |
In V6 and V8 what "power" does Jesus have?[3] |
V9 Named Levi or Matthew?[4] What does "sitting at the receipt of custom:[5]" mean? |
V10 V11 We see publicans[6] and sinners[7] grouped together. "Why eateth with them? What about eating Dainties of rulers? |
V12 Are publicans[6] and sinners[7] sick? |
V13 Why mercy instead of sacrifice? Who is the bride if Jesus is the groom? |
V14 Disciples of John came and wondered about the lack of fasting. |
V15 He predicted the bridegroom would be gone and then there would be fasting. Who is the Bride and who is the harlot? |
V16 "There was a need for a new garment and bottle". Jesus was not just a reformer but revolutionary if the Pharisees really knew Moses, but they did not. So, He brought Redemption.[8] |
V17 he repeats the same principle with new wine in a new bottle. this is again a reference to taking the kingdom from the pharisees.[8] |
