Comments⁹#


V5 Because He looked with "wrath"^[1], being grieved^[2] for the hardness of their hearts caused to hold their piece.

The hearts of the Pharisees were more withered than the hand of the crippled man in their own system of synagogues.
The Levites had provided all the the social welfare foŕ the nation of Israel serving the tabernacle of the congregations through freewill offerings since the days of Moses.
The altars of clay and stone, like the altar of Jehovahnissi. These were not mindless ceremonial rituals worship but systems of social welfare that was not a snare and a trap because they were dependent upon freewill offering.
The corban of the Pharisees was a system instuted by by the civil authority of Herod which include membership through registration by consent.
Such systems of legal charity degenerate the people, but also turn the priest class into authoritarian bureaucrats instead of men of charity as true public servants of the people.
Jesus will have to fire the moneychangers cleansing the system of the distorted system of the Pharisees. Before the dead stone temples men managed the heave offerings^[3] . They were called porters in the days of Samuel. David, as king could discharge them.
Questions



V29 *he that blaspheme(impious, revile)^[4] against the Holy Ghost is in danger of eternal (continuous) ^[5] damnation (separation, a trial, judgment)^[6]:*

The Withered hand

[1] And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.

Withered hearts

[2] And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.

[3] And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.

Held their peace

[4] And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

[5] And when he had looked round about on them with anger^[1], being grieved^[2] for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

Conspired to destroy

[6] And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

Jesus withdrew

[7] But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

[8] And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.

[9] And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

healed many

[10] For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.

Charged spirits

[11] And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

[12] And he straitly charged^[7] them that they should not make him known.

Ordained twelve

[13] And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.

[14] And he ordained^[8] twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

[15] And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:

[16] And Simon he surnamed Peter;

[17] And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:

[18] And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,

[19] And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.

the multitude

[20] And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

[21] And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

Beelzebub divide

[22] And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

[23] And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

[24] And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

[25] And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

[26] And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.

[27] No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

[28] Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

[29] But he that shall blaspheme^[4] against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal^[5] damnation^[6]:

they said

[30] Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

Mother and brethren

[31] There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.

[32] And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

[33] And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?

[34] And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
