Jesus seeks the relationship between God and man in everything, both in the Holy Scriptures and in life.
Beginning: Accept directly the Holy Scriptures, the relationship between people and God, that it is sent by God.
Holy Scripture prophesies that a person can be sent by God. Jesus understands himself in such a way that he is not of this world, so he sees himself in the Holy Scriptures.
- 40 Whoever accepts you accepts me. And whoever receives me receives him who sent me. 41 Whoever accepts a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward. Whoever accepts the righteous because he is righteous will receive the reward of the righteous. 42 And whoever gives one of these men a cup of cold water to drink, because he is a disciple, truly I say to you, he will not lose his wages. Matthew 10]]
- 2 John, having heard in prison about the works of Christ, sent his disciples to ask him: 3 "Are you the one who is to come, or should we wait for someone else?" 4 Jesus answered: "Go and tell John what you hear and see here: 5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor are given good news. 6 And blessed is he who does not take offense at me." Matthew 11
- 37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you. How many times I wanted to gather your children as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not! 38 Behold, your house will be left to you empty. 39 So I say to you: from now on you will not see me until you say: Glory to him who comes in the name of the Lord!" Matthew 23
- 24 Jesus said: "I am sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Matthew 15
- 1 Jesus again began to speak in parables: 2 "The kingdom of heaven is like a king who arranged a wedding for his son. 3 He sent servants to call those invited to the wedding feast, but they did not want to go. 4 Then he sent other servants again, saying: 'Say to those who were invited: Behold, I have made a feast, my oxen and fatted calves have been slaughtered, and everything is arranged. Come to the wedding!' 5 However, those who were invited ignored this and went their own way: one to plow the field, the other to sell, 6 and the others caught the servants, insulted them and killed them.
- 1 The kingdom of heaven is like a master who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 After making a deal with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
- 4 He said: "Behold, the sower has prepared to sow. ... 18 Now listen to the parable of the sower. 19 To everyone who hears the word about the kingdom and does not understand, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in the heart. Matthew 13
- 9 He who has ears, let him listen!" Matthew 13
- 18 God's chariots twice ten thousand thousand thousands;Psalm 68
- 53 Maybe you think that I cannot ask my Father and he will not send me over twelve legions of angels?! Matthew 26
Wait for the master, share his wealth

Caring for those in the world. To live by the Father.
'Focus on God's word, on that which stands for everything
44 The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the ground. Having discovered it, one does not tell anyone; out of that joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that land. 45 The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for beautiful pearls. 46 When he finds one pearl of great price, he goes and sells everything he has and buys it. Matthew 13
31 Jesus gave them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his soil. 32 Although it is the smallest of all seeds, when it grows up it is bigger than vegetables and turns into a tree; even the birds of the air fly and make their nests in its branches." 33 He also told another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and mixed in three measures of flour, and everything was leavened with it." Matthew 13
Focus on the goal, on the whole, then serve
- If anyone wants to be the greatest among you, let him be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first among you, let him be your slave. 28 The Son of Man also did not come to be served, but to serve himself and to give his life as a ransom for many." Matthew 20
Focus on the essence, the basics, what depends on what, what relies on what
- 34 The Pharisees, hearing that Jesus silenced the Sadducees, gathered together, 35 and one of them, a teacher of the Law, testing him, asked: 36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37 Jesus answered him: "Love the Lord, your God with all my heart, all my soul and all my mind. 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. 40 The whole Law and the Prophets are based on these two commandments." Matthew 22 (For Jesus, this is a fundamental ambiguity.)
Focus on God's word, rethink it, rewrite it
- Jesus paid attention, reflected and reinterpreted the words of the psalm: Psalm 40 "7 You made me understand that you do not desire blood sacrifices and grain offerings, you do not ask for burnt offerings and sin offerings. 8 Then I said: "Here I come! In the scroll of the scriptures everything is written for me; 9 my joy is to do your will, my God , I have your law in my heart!”
'To understand your choice, so choose what you can focus on forever, and not what is temporary
19 Do not store up treasures on earth, where moth and rust eat, where thieves break in and steal. 20 Rather, store up treasure in heaven, where neither moth nor rust eats away, where thieves do not break in and steal, 21 because where your treasure is, there your heart will also be. Matthew 6
Take care of the purity of your goals. Avoid unnecessary attention.
- 1 Avoid doing your righteous deeds in the eyes of men to be seen by them, otherwise you will not receive a reward from your Father in heaven. 2 Therefore, when giving alms, do not blow the trumpet in the synagogues and in the streets, as the hypocrites do, to be praised by men. Verily I say unto you, They have already withdrawn the payment. 3 When you give alms, let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your almsgiving may be in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Matthew 6
- 5 When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who like to pray standing in the synagogues and in the squares to be seen by people. Verily I say unto you, They have already withdrawn the payment. 6 When you want to pray, go to your room and shut yourself up and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Matthew 6
- 16 When you fast, do not be gloomy like the hypocrites; they twist their faces so people can see them fasting. Verily I say unto you, They have already withdrawn the payment. 17 And you, while fasting, anoint your head with [oil] and wash your face, 18 so that we may not show ourselves fasting to men, but to our Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Matthew 6
- 22 The light of the body is the eye. Therefore, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be light. 23 And if your eye is not healthy, your whole body will be drowned in darkness. So if the light in you is dark, how terrible is that darkness! Matthew 6
- 24 No one can serve two masters: either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be attached to one and will not obey the other. You cannot serve God and Mammon. Matthew 6
You can choose to focus on the essence or not
- 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 Just as in the days before the flood, people were eating, drinking, marrying and giving in without knowing anything until the day Noah entered the ark, 39 when the flood came and swept them all away, so it will be when the Son of Man comes. 40 Then the two will be together in the field, and one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two grind with one millstone, and one will be taken and the other left. 42 Therefore watch, for you do not know on which day your Lord will come. 43 Understand this too: if the owner knew at what hour of the night the thief would come, he would be on the watch and prevent him from breaking into the house. 44 Therefore you also be ready, because the Son of Man will come when you least expect it. Matthew 24 (Open grievances will live in the essence of untruths)
It separates the inside and the outside, to see the temporality.
- 1 After leaving the temple, Jesus traveled a long way. Here the disciples came, pointing him to the temple palace. 2 And he said, "Do you see all these things?" Truly I say to you: not one stone will be left here, everything will be destroyed." Matthew 24 (Jesus is concerned with the inside of the temple, as the house of God, not its outside. The outside is temporary, like the beauty of the lily.)
"Understanding your relationship with God, the basis of communication, that God takes care of us like our father"
- 7 When you pray, be few in your words like the heathen: they think they will be heard because of the abundance of their words. 8 Do not do as they do. Before you even ask, your Father knows what you need. 9 Therefore pray like this: Matthew 6
- 'Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, 10 thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread 12 and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive our trespassers. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.' Matthew 6
Realize that God understands us and our vulnerability
- 25 Therefore I say to you: do not worry too much about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they do not sow, they do not reap, they do not gather, but your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you worth more than them? 27 And who among you can prolong his life by his care at least in one sprint?! 28 And why do you care so much about clothes?! See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not work or spin, 29 but I tell you, not even Solomon in his greatness was dressed like each of them. 30 If God thus clothes the flower of the field, which blooms today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not take care of you even more, you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not grieve and do not ask, 'What shall we eat?' or, 'What shall we drink?' or, 'What shall we wear?' After all, your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 So do not worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Every day has its own troubles. Matthew 6
Lean on, focus on the Holy Scriptures, God's word, God.
- 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was very hungry. 3 The tempter approached him and said: "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread." 4 But Jesus answered: "It is written: Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." [ [http://biblija.lt/index.aspx?cmp=reading&doc=BiblijaRKE1999_Mt_04 | Matthew 4]] (The tempter talks about "if" but all this follows from the word of God, which does not contain any "if".) (The word of God feeds Jesus no less than bread.)
Understanding assessments and choosing the assessor, God or the world
- 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Aren't two sparrows sold for a penny? And yet not one of them falls to earth without your Father's will. 30 And even all the hairs of your head are numbered. 31 So do not be afraid! You are worth more than many sparrows. Matthew 10 (Together to understand the ambiguity that although sparrows are sold, they pass from one hand to another, but God always cares.)
'To sympathize with others and take care of them, as God takes care of them, so to serve him
Empathize and respond
- 5 After returning to Capernaum, a centurion approached Jesus, begging: 6 "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed and suffering terribly." 7 Jesus said to him: "I am going to heal him."
To empathize and maintain faith
- 18 While he was speaking like this, an elder [of the synagogue] approached him, bowed to him and said: "My daughter has just died. But come, lay your hand on her, and she will come to life.” 19 Jesus got up and followed him with his disciples. Matthew 9
- 14 When Jesus came to Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying down with a fever. 15 He touched her hand, and the heat ceased. She got up and was able to serve him. Matthew 8
Empathize with others, accept their faith
- 1 When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him. 2 And behold, a leper approached and fell on the ground before him, begging, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean." 3 Jesus reached out his hand, touched him, and said, "I am willing, be clean!" And immediately the leprosy disappearedMatthew 8
Accepting and giving, fulfilling expectations, understanding and preaching, correcting shortcomings, awakening God's fellowship
- 5 These twelve Jesus sent out, giving them instructions: "Do not go astray among the Gentiles and do not enter the towns of the Samaritans. 6 Rather visit the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 Go and proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received a gift, give a gift! 9 Do not buy gold, silver, or gold to fill your graves; 10 neither a knapsack, nor two shirts, nor a shoe, nor a staff, for the laborer is worthy of his meal. Matthew 10 (It was the house of Israel who lived in expectation, and Jesus fulfilled them.)(Go to those whom God cares for.)
He sympathizes with them, what they are going through, so he calms and encourages them.
- 10 Jesus said to them: "Do not be afraid! Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me." Matthew 28
To empathize, to empathize, to understand, to accept, then to solve, to heal people's troubles
- 16 When evening came, people brought many demon-possessed people to Jesus. He cast out the spirits with his word and healed all the sick, 17 so that the words of the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: He took our infirmities and carried our sicknesses. Matthew 8
To sympathize with a hurting person, to sympathize with those in need, to sympathize with oneself, to sympathize with future generations
- 6 When Jesus was staying in Bethany, in the house of Simon the Leper, 7 a woman came with an alabaster jar of expensive perfumed oil and poured it on the head of him sitting at the table. 8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and said, "Why such waste?" 9 After all, it was possible to sell the oil at a high price and distribute the money to the poor." 10 After hearing this, Jesus said: "Why are you hurting the woman?! She did a good job for me! 11 You always have the poor near you, but not always me. 12 Pouring oil on my body, she did it for my funeral. 13 Truly I say to you: in all the world, wherever this Gospel is preached, and her memory will be told what she has done." Matthew 26
Accept the question, answer with an explanation and works
- 9 Leaving there, he came to their synagogue. 10 Here was a man with a withered hand. They asked Jesus (in order to accuse him): "Is it permissible to heal on the Sabbath?" 11 He answered: "Which of you, having one sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not pull it out and pull it out?!" 12 And how much more precious is a man than a sheep! So it is permissible to do good on the Sabbath day." 13 Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" He stretched it out, and it became healthy like the second one. 14 When the Pharisees left, they conspired to kill Jesus. Matthew 12
Accept your role, fulfill your purpose in the circumstances, fulfill the requests
- 28 When Jesus reached the other shore in the land of the Gadarians, two demon-possessed men ran to meet him, having come out of the cellars of the cemetery. The black ones were so dangerous that no one could pass that way. 29 And here they both began to shout: "What do you need from us, Son of God?!" Did you come early to torture us?" 30 A little further on, a large herd of pigs was grazing. 31 The demons began to plead: "If you drive us out, send them to the herd of pigs." 32 And he said to them: "Go!" Then the demons came out and attacked the pigs. And here the whole herd threw itself from the cliff into the lake and ended up in Vilnius. 33 The shepherds fled and when they reached the city, they told everything, including about the possessed. 34 Then the whole city came out to meet Jesus and, as soon as they saw him, begged him to leave their country. Matthew 8 (He is recognized not as the Son of Man distracted by fate, but as the Son of God walking purposefully. This is the conclusion of the distraction.)
33 The blind people say to him: "Lord, that our eyes may be opened." 34 Having compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; they immediately saw him and followed him. Matthew 20
To sympathize with a person, how he struggles, to understand his situation and possibilities, what he is capable of
- 4 They bind heavy, unbearable burdens and put them on people's shoulders, and they themselves do not want to move them with a finger. Matthew 23
To pity people, to understand their situation, that they are lost, they are not taken care of, they need shepherds.
- 35 Jesus went through all the cities and villages, teaching in the synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing all kinds of diseases and infirmities. 36 When he saw the crowds, he felt sorry for the people, because they were tired and forsaken like sheep without a shepherd. Matthew 9
Care only for those whom God cares for
- 25 Then the woman ran and threw herself on the ground, begging: "Lord, help me!" 26 He answered: "It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." Matthew 15 (God does not care about people who are not his own.) (God cares even for sparrows, but miracles are children's bread so that they learn.) (Jesus does miracles not just for the sake of it, but so that God's children can believe. And if they already believe, it is true can believe.)
Caring for the lost is what God cares about
- 12 What do you think: if someone had a hundred sheep and one of them went astray, wouldn't he leave the ninety-nine in the mountains and go look for the one that went astray? 13 And if he found it, verily I say unto you, he would rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine which had not gone astray. 14 Even so your heavenly Father does not want even one of these little ones to perish. Matthew 18
As his disciples, he goes to people, to their hearts, with instructions, to show that everyone will definitely accept.
- 18 Then Jesus approached and spoke: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you all the days until the end of the world." Matthew 28
Satisfies requests that do not conflict with God's purposes. Respects God's purposes for expanding people's faith.
- 24 In the meantime, the boat had already sailed far away from the shore, tossed by the waves, because the opposite wind was blowing. 25 During the watch of the fourth night, Jesus came to them, walking on the surface of the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the surface of the lake, they were afraid and, thinking it was a ghost, began to shout out of fear. 27 Immediately Jesus spoke to them: "Do not be discouraged! It's me. Don't be afraid!" 28 Peter answered: "Lord, if you are here, tell me to come to you on the water." 29 He answered: "Go!" Peter, getting out of the boat, began to walk on the surface of the water and came to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the force of the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, he cried out: "Lord, save me!" 31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught him and said: "You are weak, what did you doubt?" 32 When they got into the boat, the wind died down. . 33 Those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God!" 34 After crossing, they disembarked at Gennesaret. Matthew 14
- 30 A huge crowd gathered around him, bringing with them the crippled, the lame, the blind, the dumb and many others. The people laid them at Jesus' feet, and he healed them. 31 The crowd marveled when they saw the dumb speaking, the lame being healed, the crippled walking straight, and the blind seeing. And the people worshiped the God of Israel. Matthew 15
- 27 And she says: "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the master's table." 28 Then Jesus said to her: "O woman, great is your faith!" Be it to you as you ask.” And in that very hour her daughter was healed. Matthew 15
He feels pity, wonders if there is a need to bother
- 14 When he went ashore and saw many people, Jesus felt sorry for them, and he healed their sick. 15 When evening came, the disciples approached and said: "The place is empty, and it is already late. Send the people away so that they can go to the villages and buy food." 16 Jesus answered: "There is no need for them to leave here. You give them something to eat." l7 They answered, "We have five loaves of bread and two fish here." 18 Jesus said, "Bring them to me." 19 And having told the crowd to sit down on the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fish, looked to heaven, blessed, l
To recognize those who are not of it in the world. To live as a Son.
Separation of destinies (circumstances and consequences).
- 4 He said: "Behold, the sower has prepared to sow. While he was sowing, some grain fell by the road, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Others fell on rocks where there was little ground. They germinated quickly because they did not have a deeper layer of soil. 6 When the sun rose, the sprouts withered and withered without root. 7 Others fell among thorns. Thorns grew up and choked them. 8 Still others fell on good ground and yielded: some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, still others thirtyfold. 9 He who has ears, let him listen!" Matthew 13 (The Role of Coincidence)
Paying attention to man's relationship with God's word
- 18 Now listen to the parable of the sower. 19 To everyone who hears the word about the kingdom and does not understand, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in the heart. This is a roadside crop. 20 The seed on the rocks is for the one who, hearing the word, immediately receives it with joy. 21 But he is a rootless, fickle man. In case of any calamity or persecution because of the word, it quickly falls away. 22 The seed among the thorns is the one who hears the word, but the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of wealth overshadow the word, and it remains unfruitful. 23 He that heareth and understandeth the word shall reap in good ground; it yields a harvest: some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold." Matthew 13
'Staying free, getting used to being distracted
To remain free, without purpose, without obligation
- 18 Seeing a huge crowd around him, Jesus ordered them to cross to the other side. 19 Here a scribe came and said to him: "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go!" 20 Jesus answered: "Foxes have dens, birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." Matthew 8 (The interpreter wants to know where Jesus will go. And Jesus himself has nowhere to go, he is not going anywhere, but is constantly traveling, as the Spirit gives him. In that sense, he is the Son of Man, it is the will of the Father, while he is also the Son of God , who follows God.)
Hold on to the Spirit, hold on to each other
- 21 Another of his disciples asked: "Lord, let me go first to bury my father." 22 But Jesus answered: "Follow me and leave the dead to bury their dead." Matthew 8 (Since Jesus is distracted by the Spirit, you need to stick to him, if you want to be with him. You need to stick to each other in that sense, that is what the Spirit is.)
Get used to being distracted, find peace in the storm
- 23 Jesus got into the boat, and the disciples followed him. 24 And behold, such a violent storm arose in the lake that the waves took the boat. And he slept. 25 The disciples began to wake him up, shouting: "Lord, save us, we are perishing!" 26 He said to them: "Why are you so cowardly, you of little faith?" Then he got up, stopped the winds and the lake, and became completely calm. 27 People were amazed and said: "Who is he so alone that even the winds and seas listen to him?" Matthew 8
'Allow events to unfold. Understand that evil will be revealed and then the truth will be revealed.
Allow events to unfold
- 59 In the meantime, the chief priests and the whole council of the court were looking for false testimony against Jesus, so that they could condemn him to death, 60 but they did not find it, although many false witnesses had come. Finally, two came forward 61 and said: "This is the one who said: 'I can destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.'" 62 Then the high priest stood up and asked Jesus: "You have no answer to these accusations?" 63 But Jesus was silent Matthew 26
Allowing the truth to unfold.
- 26 So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not become known. 27 What I speak to you in the dark, speak in the middle of the day, and what I whisper in your ear, proclaim from the housetops. Matthew 10
Allow people to reveal who is for and against the good
- 21 Brother will betray brother to death and father his son, and children will rise up against their parents and kill them. 22 You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But whoever endures to the end will be saved. Matthew 10
Allowing people to reveal themselves, allowing them to examine you, allowing God to work
- 18 You will be brought before rulers and kings for my sake to testify to them and to the Gentiles. 19 When they accuse you, do not worry how or what you will speak, for in that hour it will be given to you what you must say. 20 Then you will no longer speak, but the Spirit of your Father will speak with your lips. Matthew 10
Allow the method to develop and become clear
- 24 He gave them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 While the people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares in the wheat and went to himself. 26 When the grass grew and sprouted, so did thistles. 27 The master's servants came and asked: 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where did the tares come from?' 28 He answered: 'My enemy did it.' The servants volunteered: 'If you want, we will go and root them out.' 30 Let both grow until harvest. During the harvest, I will say to the reapers: 'First gather the tares and bind them in bundles to burn, and pile the wheat into my threshing floor.'" Matthew 13
- 36 After letting the crowds go, Jesus went home. The disciples came to him and asked: "Explain to us the parable of the tares in the ground." 37 He answered: "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 Soil is the world. The good seed are the children of the kingdom, but the tares are the children of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are angels. 40 So as tares are gathered and burned, so will it be at the end of the world. 41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will select from his kingdom all the angry and wicked 42 and throw them into the blazing furnace. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father's kingdom. He who has ears, let him listen! Matthew 13
- 47 The kingdom of heaven is also like a net thrown into a lake, which catches all kinds of fish. 48 When it is full, it is dragged ashore, sat down and the good ones are collected in vessels, and the bad ones are thrown away. 49 It will be the same at the end of the world: the angels will come out, choose the bad from the good 50 and throw them into the blazing furnace. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 13
- 53 When he had finished speaking those parables, Jesus departed from there. 54 He went to his homeland and began to teach the people in the synagogue, and they were amazed and asked: "Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous power?" 55 Isn't he the carpenter's son?! Is not his mother's name Mary, and are not James, Joseph, Simon and Judas his brothers? 56 And his sisters, don't they all live with us? Where did he get all this?” And they began to resent him. 57 And Jesus answered them: "Nowhere is a prophet without respect, except in his own country and in his own house." 58 Because of their unbelief, he did not perform so many miracles there. (To allow people to reveal themselves. To rely on people's faith) Matthew 13
Allow it to be fulfilled, accept the giver with everyone
- 2 These are the names of the twelve apostles: the first Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, 3 Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus and Thaddas, 4 Simon the Canaanite and Judas Iscariot, who and betrayed him.
Understand the necessity of disasters and do not emphasize them
- 6 You will hear about wars and rumors of wars. Watch that you don't get scared because it takes all of this to happen. 7 But this is not the end. Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in places. 8 But all this is only the beginning of suffering. Matthew 24
Realize how it will be when everything is revealed, when everything is evaluated
- 31 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his throne of honor. 32 The people of all nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will place the sheep on the right, the goats on the left. 34 And the king said to those standing on the right: 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world! 35 For I was hungry, and you fed me, I was thirsty, and you gave me drink, I was a passenger, and you sheltered me, 36 I was naked, you visited me, I was a prisoner, you came to me.' 37 Then the righteous will ask: 'Lord, when have we seen you hungry and fed you, thirsty and given you drink? 38 When did we see you traveling and sheltered you or naked and clothed you? 39 When did we see you sick or a prisoner?' from me, ye accursed, into the eternal fire, which is prepared for the devil and his angels! 42 For I was hungry and you did not feed me, I was thirsty and you did not listen to me, 43 I was a traveler and you did not shelter me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and a prisoner and you did not visit me.' have we seen the hungry or the thirsty, or the traveler, or the sick, or the prisoner, and we have not served you?' these will go to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." Matthew 25
Anticipate trouble and, with warning, avoid it as much as possible
- 7 Woe to the world because of outrages! Outrages are inevitable, but woe to the person through whom the outrage comes. Matthew 18 (Realizing that the other understands in his own way, may misunderstand, may be offended.)
'Show good will, patience and thus prepare, concentrate, pass the test with God's help
Allowing the human heart to unfold
- 7 Then they asked: "And why did Moses order a writ of divorce to be given, by divorcing the wife?" 8 He answered: "Moses allowed you to divorce your wives because of the hardness of your hearts. But it wasn't like that in the beginning. Matthew 19
After opening up in one place, allow it to open up elsewhere, give a choice
- 23 When you are persecuted in one city, flee to another. Verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone round the cities of Israel, when the Son of man cometh. Matthew 10 (The coming of the Son of Man is a choice whether to recognize him or to live as a person or personality.)
Not to give in on purpose, not to tempt, but to be aware and ready for abuse
- 16 Behold, I am sending you as sheep among wolves. Therefore be as cunning as serpents and as guileless as doves. 17 Beware of men, for they will bring you before the courts and scourge you in their synagogues. Matthew 10
Prepare for the test
- 24 Whoever listens to these words of mine and does them is like a wise man who built his house on a rock. 25 The rains poured down, the rivers flooded, the winds rose and beat against that house. But it did not collapse because it was built on a rock. 26 Whoever hears these words of mine and does not do them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rains poured down, the rivers overflowed, the winds rose and beat against that house, and it collapsed, and its collapse was violent. Matthew 7]]
Understand readiness as a sign
- 32 Learn from the parable of the fig tree: when its branch softens and its leaves burst, you know that summer is near. 33 Also, when you see all this, know that he is near, at the threshold. 34 Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. Matthew 24
Realize that the righteous will be thoroughly tested
- 9 Then you will be handed over to be tortured and killed. You will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 Many will stumble and betray each other and hate each other. Matthew 24
Understand how to prepare in time - how to take care of yourself, not rely on God alone - distinguish between positive and negative attitude
- 1 Then the kingdom of heaven will be likened to ten virgins who took lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were peaceful and five were intelligent. 3 So the women took the lamps, but did not take the oil. 4 The wise women took oil in vessels along with the lamps. 5 When the bridegroom was late, they all began to doze and fell asleep. 6 At midnight, voices were heard saying, "Here is the bridegroom!" Come out to meet me!" 7 Then all the girls got up and repaired the lanterns. 8 The wise said to the wise: 'Give us oil, because our lamps are going out.' 9 The wise answered: 'So that sometimes we and you don't run out, better go to the merchants and buy.' 10 While they were going to buy, the bridegroom came. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding, and the door was closed. 11 Later, Anna's girls also came and began to pray: 'Lord, Lord, open, here we are!' 12 And he answered: 'Truly I say to you, I do not know you!' 13 So keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour. Matthew 25 (Ten commandments of God - the wise love God positively, the foolish love their neighbor negatively - so the wise act immediately. Or maybe vice versa, after all, those who consciously follow the negative commandments are ready. Is it consciousness that is awake?)
In the meantime, everyone gathers and reveals themselves and will be discovered and evaluated
- 45 Who is that faithful and intelligent servant whom the master appointed to feed the family at the right time? 46 Happy is the servant whom the master finds doing well when he returns. 47 Verily I say unto you, He shall be put in charge of all his possessions. 48 And if that servant is bad and says to himself, 'My master is not in a hurry to return,' 49 and begins to beat his servants, to eat, to quarrel with drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will return on a day when he is not waiting, and at such an hour as he doesn't think so. 51 He will punish him severely and assign him a portion with the hypocrites. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 24
To wait on the master, to share his wealth: To act at the right time
- 18 Early in the morning, returning to the city, Jesus felt hungry. 19 Seeing a fig tree on the road, he approached it, but found nothing but leaves. And he said: "May no fruit fall on you forever!" And the fig tree immediately withered. Matthew 21
- 23 Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Truly I say to you, it is not easy for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 And I say to you again: it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." 25 When the disciples heard this, they were very confused and asked: "Then who can be saved?" 26 After looking at them, Jesus said: "To the people it is an impossible thing, but with God everything is possible." Matthew 19
Scripture describes God's thoughts on events such as the Great Flood
- 16 then whoever is in Judea, let him run to the mountains, 17 whoever is on the roof, let him go down to the ground to take his belongings from the house, 18 and whoever is in the fields, let him not return to get his cloak. 19 Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days! 20 Pray that you will not have to run in the winter or on the Sabbath.
To observe and compare, to understand how it differs from others
- 40 He returned to the disciples and, finding them asleep, said to Peter: "Could you not stay awake with me for one hour? 41 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit is determined, but the body is weak." Matthew 26
Think for yourself, ignore others
- 13 Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way to destruction, and many are those who go through it. 14 How narrow is the gate and how narrow is the way to life! Only a few discover it. Matthew 7
'To recognize and raise those who have passed the trials
The Rise of God's Appreciation with Time
- 42 Then Jesus said: "Have you never read in the scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is done by the Lord and it is amazing to our eyes. 43 Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation that bears fruit. 44 Whoever falls on that stone will be crushed, and whoever the stone falls on will be crushed." Matthew 21 (The cornerstone becomes that on which the good child focuses. Scripture consists of such tested.)
Some will fall away, others will last
- 11 Many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 Because iniquity will prevail, the love of many will grow cold. 13 And whoever endures to the end will be saved. Matthew 24
Invite and listen to the heart, who responds, that's how to select
- 1 Jesus again began to speak in parables: 2 "The kingdom of heaven is like a king who arranged a wedding for his son. 3 He sent servants to call those invited to the wedding feast, but they did not want to go. 4 Then he sent other servants again, saying: 'Say to those who were invited: Behold, I have made a feast, my oxen and fatted calves have been slaughtered, and everything is arranged. Come to the wedding!' 5 However, those who were invited ignored this and went their own way: one to plow the field, the other to sell, 6 and the others caught the servants, insulted them and killed them. 7 Then the king was enraged and, sending an army, destroyed those murderers and set fire to their city. 8 At last he said to the servants: 'The wedding has been arranged, but the guests were not worthy. 9 Therefore, go to the crossroads and invite everyone you find to the wedding.' 10 Those servants went out on the roads and gathered everyone they met, bad and good. The wedding hall was full of people sitting at the table. 11 The king came to see the guests and saw a man there who was not wearing a wedding garment. 12 He said to him, ``Friend, how did you come in here without having a wedding garment?'' But he was silent. 13 Then the king ordered the servants: 'Bind his hands and feet and throw him outside into the darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' 14 For many are called, but few are chosen." Matthew 22
10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those who followed him: "Truly I say to you, I have not found such faith anywhere in Israel!" 11 Therefore I say to you: many will come from the east and the west and sit down in the kingdom of heaven at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 12 And the children of the kingdom will be cast out into darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 8
- 14 It will be as it happened to a certain man who, going to a foreign country, called servants and entrusted his possessions to them. 15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to a third one each according to his talents, and departed. 16 The one who received the five talents immediately went to work and earned the other five. 17 Likewise, he who received two talents received two more. 18 And he who had received one, went and dug a pit and hid his master's money. 19 After some time had passed, the master of those servants returned and began to reckon with them. 20 He who had received the five talents came; he brought the other five and said: 'Master, you gave me five talents, here I have earned the other five.' 21 The master replied: 'Okay, cool and faithful servant! Because you have been faithful in small things, I will entrust you with great things. Go to the joy of your master!' 22 Also the one who had received two talents came and said: 'Master, you gave me two talents, here I have earned the other two.' 23 The master said: 'Well done, good and faithful servant! Because you have been faithful in small things, I will entrust you with great things. Go to the joy of your master!' 24 The one who had received the one talent approached and said: 'Master, I knew that you are a hard person: you reap where you did not sow, you gather where you did not scatter. 25 I was afraid and went and hid your talent in the ground. Well, take what is yours.' 26 The master answered him: 'Bad servant, lazy! You knew that I reap where I did not sow, I gather where I did not scatter. 27 So you had to put my money into circulation, and on my return I would have received it with interest. Matthew 25
A rationale for assessing consequences
- 29 Can someone break into a strong man's house and steal his property without first binding the strong man?! Only then will he rob his house. Matthew 12 (Wait for the master and share his wealth.) (Jesus follows logic, imagines various possibilities.)

6 And whoever offends one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for him that a donkey's millstone were hung around his neck and he were drowned in the depths of the sea. Matthew 18 (It is less difficult to understand how to act without experience than with experience.)
He tells them in advance how it will be so that others can check.
- 10 Jesus said to them: "Do not be afraid! Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me." Matthew 28
He tells you in advance how it will be and allows you to check and doubt.
- 16 The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain that Jesus had pointed out to them. 17 When the disciples saw him, they fell to the ground, but some still doubted. Matthew 28
Settled: God gives settled. Get into the Holy Scriptures and prophesy what it means to yourself and others.
Prophesy
- 29 And I say to you: from now on I will not drink the fruit of this vine until the day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father." Matthew 26 (He personally, arbitrarily renounces the old body. Hereafter there will be new bread, new wine, new body, new blood.)
To understand, to apply the prophecies of Holy Scripture
- 30 After singing, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 31 Then Jesus said to them: "This night you will all be angry with me, because it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the flock of sheep will be scattered." 32 And when I rise again, I will go before you to Galilee." 33 Peter answered: "Even if everyone were angry with you, I will never be angry!" 34 Jesus said to him: "Truly I say to you, this night, before the rooster crows, you will three times you will spare me." 35 But Peter insisted: "Even if I had to die with you, I will still not spare you!" So spoke all the disciples. Matthew 26
To understand the fulfillment of the scriptures, what is written about the son of man
- 20 When evening came, Jesus and the twelve disciples gathered at the table. 21 When he began to eat, he said: "Truly I say to you, one of you will betray me." 22 They were very sad and began to ask one by one: "Is it not me, Lord?" in the bowl. 24 The Son of Man indeed goes his way, just as it is written about him, but woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man. It would have been better for him not to have been born." Matthew 26 (Compare Psalm 41: Even my best friend, who shared bread with me, sought to kick me.)
Understanding how scripture will be fulfilled
- 1 After finishing all these speeches, Jesus said to his disciples: 2 "You know that in two days the Passover will come, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified." Matthew 26 (Easter is a feast prescribed by the Holy Scriptures)
Listen to the Holy Scriptures
- 17 Before leaving for Jerusalem, Jesus took twelve disciples separately and said to them on the way: 18 "Behold, we will go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the high priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, 19 hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked, flogged and crucified, but on the third day he will rise again. Matthew 20]]
- 38 Then some scribes and Pharisees began to demand: "Teacher, we want you to show a sign." 39 He answered: "An evil and unfaithful generation demands a sign, but no other sign will be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 As Jonah stayed three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so the Son of Man will stay three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The inhabitants of Nineveh will rise up with this generation on the day of judgment and condemn it, because they were converted after hearing the preaching of Jonah, and here is more than Jonah. 42 The queen of the south country will rise in the day of judgment with this generation and condemn it, because it has come from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and here is more than Solomon. Matthew 12 (The son of Jonah does like Jonah, he puts in the signs of the times)
To consult with the prophets of the holy scriptures
- 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him. Matthew 17
Agreed prayers
- 19 And I also say to you: if any of you agree on earth to pray for something, my heavenly Father will grant it to them. 20 Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in their midst." Matthew 18
Think in comparisons. Study, select and call students to be taught.
- 18 Walking along the Sea of Galilee, Jesus saw two brothers - Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew - casting a net into the lake; because they were fishermen. 19 He said, "Follow me!" I will make you fishers of men.” 20 Immediately they left their nets and went with him. Matthew 4 (Jesus himself says, "I will do...")
- 21 After walking further, Jesus saw two other brothers - James son of Zebedee and his brother John. He and his father, Zebedee, were mending nets in a boat. He also called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and went with him. Matthew 4
To believe
- 19 Left alone, the disciples came to Jesus and asked: "Why could we not cast him out?" He answered: 20 "Because of weak faith. Truly I say to you, if you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you would say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible for you." Matthew 17
Executes: God gives execution. To fulfill the Scriptures in regard to the faith of others.
Take the law to heart, then carefully execute it, rethink it, focus on it
- 17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. 18 Verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass away, not one letter or one stroke shall pass from the Law, all shall be fulfilled. 19 Therefore whoever breaks even one of the least commandments and teaches people to do so will be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever exercises them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 So I say to you, unless you surpass the scribes and Pharisees in righteousness, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5
Understand, accept and fulfill your role in scripture
- 53 Maybe you think that I cannot ask my Father and he will not send me over twelve legions of angels?! 54 But how can the scriptures be fulfilled that this must happen?!" 55 At that hour Jesus said to the crowd: "You have come out to catch me as a robber with swords and clubs. I sat in the temple teaching every day, and you did not arrest me. 56 But everything happens in this way so that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled." Then all the disciples, leaving him, fled. Matthew 26
Inspired to fulfill the scriptures
- 13 He left Nazareth and stayed in Capernaum, by the lake where the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali meet. 14 The words of the prophet Isaiah were fulfilled: 15 In the land of Zebulun and in the land of Naphtali! The lakeside belt, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles! 16 The people living in darkness have seen a bright light, and those who live in the dark land of death have received light. 17 From that time Jesus began to preach: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" Matthew 4
To fulfill the prophecy
- 1 When they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying: "Go into the village opposite and immediately you will find a donkey tied with its colt. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 And if anyone asks about it, answer: 'The Lord needs them,' and he will immediately let them go." 4 This happened so that the words of the prophet would be fulfilled: 5 Say to the daughter of Zion: Behold, your king is coming. He is gentle, he rides on a donkey, accompanied by a colt, a young animal. 6 The disciples went and did as Jesus commanded. Matthew 21
Apply Scripture
- Blessed are the meek, they shall inherit the earth. Compared to in the 37th Psalm. "11 And the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall rejoice in abundance." "22 Those whom the LORD blesses will inherit the land, but those whom he curses will be driven out." Here also it is seen how he combines the two ideas of who shall inherit the earth and who shall be blessed.
To live as a representative of God
- 12 When Jesus entered the temple, he drove out all those who were selling and buying in the temple, he threw out the tables of the money changers and the benches of the people who sold money 13 and said to them: "It is written: My house will be called a house of prayer, but you have turned it into a den of robbers!" 14 In the temple, the blind gathered around him and bandages, and he healed them. Matthew 21
To learn the Holy Scriptures, to live as a representative of God
- 28 When Jesus had finished speaking, the crowds were amazed at his learning, 29 because he did not teach as their scribes, but as one having authority. Matthew 7
To realize the ambition to gather the kingdom of heaven
- 23 Jesus walked throughout Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing all kinds of diseases and infirmities in people. 24 Even in all Syria the rumor of him spread. People brought to him all those who were sick, possessed by demons, bedridden and paralyzed with various diseases and sufferings, and he healed them. 25 Whole groups of people followed him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and Transjordan. Matthew 4 (He takes action himself).
Accept and support people's faith
- 29 Then he touched their eyes and said: "Be it to you as you believe." 30 And their eyes were opened. Matthew 9
Make a will
- 13 Jesus said to the centurion: "Go, let it be done to you as you have believed!" And in the same hour the servant was healed. Matthew 8 (Jesus is God's deputy, recognizes and fulfills faith.)
To note people's belief that there is a connection with them. Get to the core of what's oppressing.
- 1 After getting into the boat, Jesus crossed the lake and returned to his city. 2 And behold, a paralyzed man was brought to him, laid on a stretcher. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic: "Do not be discouraged, my son, your sins are forgiven!" Matthew 9
Feel and accept the faith of a person
- 27 And she says: "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the master's table." 28 Then Jesus said to her: "O woman, great is your faith!" Be it to you as you ask.” And in that very hour her daughter was healed. Matthew 15
- 20 And behold, a woman who had had an issue of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the hem of his cloak. 21 For she said to herself, "If only I could touch his garment, I would be healed." 22 When Jesus turned and saw her, he said, "Do not be dismayed, daughter, your faith has made you well." And in that very moment the woman was healed. Matthew 9
Rethinks: God gives knowledge. To judge oneself and others based on the fruits of one's work.
To see the fulfillment of the holy scriptures
- Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet! 10 He is the one about whom it is written: Behold, I am sending my messenger before you, and he will prepare the way for you. Matthew 11
To accept the faith of others, to reject unbelief
- 8 The centurion answered: "Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof, but just say the word and my servant will be healed." 9 For even I, being a ruler myself, have soldiers under me. So I say to one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; I say to another: 'Come here!' and he comes; I say to the servant, 'Do this!' and he does it." 10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those who followed him: "Truly I say to you, I have not found such faith anywhere in Israel! 11 Therefore I say to you: many will come from the east and the west and sit down in the kingdom of heaven at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 12 And the children of the kingdom will be cast out into darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
To test the faith of the people
- 27 As Jesus was leaving, two blind men followed him and shouted: "Have mercy on us, Son of David!" 28 When he reached the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus asked, "Do you believe that I can heal you?" They answered, "Yes, Lord!"
Jesus asks the purpose to clarify
- 47 While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, appeared, and with him a large group, armed with swords and clubs, sent by the high priests and elders of the people. 48 His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "Whomever I shall kiss, this is he!" Arrest him!" 49 And immediately he came to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed him. 50 And Jesus said to him: "Friend, why have you come?" Then they attacked him and arrested him. Matthew 26
Ask what you want?
- 29 As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Jesus. 30 Two blind men were sitting on the road. When they heard Jesus passing by, they began to shout: "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!" 31 The crowd ordered them to be silent. But they shouted even louder: "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!" 32 Jesus stopped, called them and asked: "What do you want me to do for you?" 33 The blind said to him: "Lord, that our eyes may be opened." 34 Having had mercy Jesus touched their eyes; they immediately saw him and followed him. Matthew 20
- 20 Then the mother of Zebedee's sons approached Jesus with her sons and, falling at his feet, wanted to ask for something. 21 Jesus asked: "What do you want?" Matthew 20
Ask to check how you believe
- Can you drink the cup that I will drink?''They said, 'We can.'
'Thinking in comparisons
To catch up with comparisons from life experience
- 27 And she says: "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the master's table." 28 Then Jesus said to her: "O woman, great is your faith!" Be it to you as you ask.” And in that very hour her daughter was healed. Matthew 15
Compare according to the behavior described in the holy scriptures
- 1 At that time, on the Sabbath day, Jesus was walking through a grain field. His disciples were hungry, so they began to pick bells and eat them. 2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him: “Look, your disciples are doing what is forbidden on the Sabbath.” 3 He answered: “Have you not read what David and his companions did when they were hungry? 4 How they went to the House of God and ate the shewbread, although it was not obligatory for him or his companions to eat it, but only for the priests. 5 Or perhaps you did not read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple violate the Sabbath rest and do not sin? Matthew 12 (Compares with the cases described in the Holy Scriptures.)
Accept the understanding of others, develop their comparison
- 24 A disciple is not higher than his teacher, than a servant is higher than his master. 25 It is enough if the student is equal to the teacher and the servant to the master. So if they named the head of the family Beelzebub, what can we say about the household! Matthew 10 (If God is Beelzebub, then Jesus and his followers are even more terrifying! So why compare with Beelzebub?)
Get confirmation
To understand according to the Holy Scriptures
- 15 The chief priests and the scribes, when they saw the miracles he performed and the children shouting in the temple, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" 16 became angry and said to him, "Do you hear what they are saying?" Jesus answered, "I hear. Have you never read: From the lips of children and infants you have prepared praise for yourself?” 17 And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and spent the night there. Matthew 21
To hear from God in the presence of others
- 16 After being baptized, Jesus immediately emerged from the water. Suddenly the heavens opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3
Allows to check
A reminder, as he had said before
- 5 And the angel said to the women: "Do not be afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is no longer here, he has risen as he said. Enter, examine the place where he lies. Matthew 28
He makes it possible to verify a miracle by telling in advance how it will happen and by letting others know that it happened and by letting others investigate that it really happened.
- 7 And quickly give the message to his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going before you into Galilee; come and see him.' Behold, I have declared these things to you." 8 They quickly left the tomb, filled with fear and great joy, and ran to tell the disciples. Matthew 28
It allows you to verify that it really exists.
- 9 And behold, Jesus appeared in front of them and said: "Hail!" They approached and, falling to the ground, embraced his feet. Matthew 28
'To notice, to compare, to understand the Holy Scripture
- 55 At that hour Jesus said to the crowd: "You have come out to catch me as a robber with swords and clubs. I sat in the temple teaching every day, and you did not arrest me. 56 But everything happens in this way so that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled." Then all the disciples, leaving him, fled. Matthew 26 (The Father would obey the Son but the Son gives priority to the Father)
To empathize with the Holy Scriptures, with life, with other people
- (Insensitivity to life, distortion of consciousness, its disconnection from the subconscious, this is an evil spirit) 43 An impure spirit, having left a person, wanders in waterless places, looking for rest, and does not find it. 44 Then she says: 'I will return to my house from whence I came.' When she returns, she finds it empty, swept and decorated. 45 Then he goes, takes with him seven other spirits, even more evil than himself, and when they enter, they settle there. And then that person gets worse than before. This will also happen to this evil generation." Matthew 12
To empathize with the Holy Scriptures and with your own circumstances and those of others
- Then the high priest said to him: "I adjure you by the living God to tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God?!" 64 Jesus answered: "You said. But I say to you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Almighty and coming in the clouds of heaven!" 65 Then the high priest tore his clothes and shouted: "He is blaspheming! What else do we have witnesses for?! Here you have heard blasphemy. 66 What do you think?" They answered: "Worthy of death!" Matthew 26 (Notice the high priest's involuntary testimony, his thinking that Jesus is the Messiah. The reality is in our thinking.)
To understand how human circumstances and human ways are reflected in the Holy Scriptures
- 69 At that time, Peter was sitting in the yard. A maid came to him and said: "And you were with Jesus the Galilean." 70 But he defended himself in front of everyone: "I do not know what you are saying." 71 As he was walking towards the gate, another maid noticed him and said to those around him: "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth." 72 He defended himself again, swearing: "I do not know that man!" 73 After an hour, those standing there approached and said to Peter: "Truly you are one of them, for even your language betrays you." 74 Then he began to swear and Godfather: "I don't know that man!" And immediately the rooster crowed. 75 Then Peter remembered Jesus' words: "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." He went outside and wept bitterly. Matthew 26 (We can think that Jesus understood what Peter would go through, how he would understand after everything.)
Riddle of Prophecy. Separating those who guess and who don't. Insight that God gives to know.
- 10 Then the disciples said: "If these are the affairs of a man and a wife, then it is not worth marrying." 11 Jesus answered: "Not everyone knows these words, but only those to whom it is given to know." Matthew 19 (It seems different, after thinking about everything. We can catch ourselves by thinking.)
'Note the reasons for the consequences. Judge a tree by its fruit
31 I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven to men, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, neither in this life nor in the life to come. 33 Either say the tree is good and its fruit good, or say the tree is bad and its fruit bad, because a tree is known by its fruit. Matthew 12
Judge a tree by its fruit. Suspect and investigate the motives of others
- 15 Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Who can pick the grapes from the thorns or the figs from the thorns?! 17 For a good tree bears good fruit, but an unbelieving tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, but an unbelieving tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So you will know them by their fruits. Matthew 7
- 27 If I cast out demons by the power of Beelzebub, then by whose power do your followers cast them out?! Therefore, they will be your judges. 28 But if I cast out demons by the power of the Spirit of God, then surely the kingdom of God has come to you. Matthew 12
Show and watch how who rates
- 2 John, having heard in prison about the works of Christ, sent his disciples to ask him: 3 "Are you the one who is to come, or should we wait for someone else?" 4 Jesus answered: "Go and tell John what you hear and see here: 5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor are given good news. 6 And blessed is he who does not take offense at me." Matthew 11
Decide that you are not lucky
- 14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached, knelt before Jesus 15 and begged: "Lord, have mercy on my son!" He sleepwalks and suffers a lot. It often falls into fire or water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him." 17 Then Jesus answered: "O unbelieving and corrupt family! Until I need to be with you! How long will you bear it? Bring him here to me.” 18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and he left, and the boy was healed at that very moment. (Compared to a similar case, where it was explained that such a demon can only be driven out by prayer.) (Judge from the consequences whether a person acts internally, by prayer, by faith)
Notice how someone responds
- 16 To whom can I compare this generation? She is like the children who sit in the marketplace and call out to their friends: 17 'We played for you, but you did not dance. We sang laments, but you did not cry...' Matthew 11
- 18 John came neither eating nor drinking, and they said, 'He is possessed by a demon.' justified by his works." Matthew 11
The heart expresses itself in words
- 34 Hatch of vipers, how can you speak good when you are evil?! After all, the mouth speaks what the overflowing heart says. 35 A good man brings forth good from a good treasure, and an evil man brings forth evil from an evil treasure. 36 Therefore I say to you: on the day of judgment people will have to give an account for every idle word spoken. 37 By your words you will be justified and by your words you will be condemned." Matthew 12 (Words are judgments)
To accept others with an open heart, participants in the world, as you would like to be accepted.
Link acceptance and evaluation.
Understand the relationship between views
- 12 Therefore, whatever you want people to do to you, do to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Matthew 7
As you judge others, so you will be judged
- 23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a king who thought to settle an account with his servants. 24 When he began to count, they brought to him one who owed him ten thousand talents. 25 Since he had nothing to repay, the ruler ordered that he be sold along with his wife and children and all his possessions to pay. 26 Then, falling at his feet, the servant begged: 'Have patience with me! I will give everything.' 27 Having pity on that servant, the ruler released him and gave away the debt. 28 As soon as he left, that servant met one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii, and he caught him and strangled him, saying: 'Pay the debt!' 29 Falling on his knees, the friend begged: 'Have patience with me! I will give you everything.' 30 But he did not agree, took him and threw him in prison until he paid the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were very sad. They went and told the ruler what had happened. 32 Then, having summoned him, the master said: 'Wicked servant, I gave you all that debt because you begged me. 33 Shouldn't you have spared your friend as I spared you?' 35 So my heavenly Father will do to you, if you do not forgive each one of you from a true heart." http://biblija.lt/index.aspx?cmp=reading&doc=BiblijaRKE1999_Mt_18 Matthew 18 (Does as he is treated)
As you recognize your worth, you will be recognized for your worth.
- 32 Whoever confesses me before men, I will also confess before my heavenly Father. 33 And whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my heavenly Father. Matthew 10 (This is the basis of Jesus' division between people and God. He understands God as unconditional. Through him, God approaches people on earth.)
To understand the circumstances of attitudes, points of departure, conditions for why it seems to someone, whether we live as a common person or as a separate person
- 1 Judge not, lest ye be judged. 2 With what judgment you judge, you will be judged, and with what measure you follow, it will be requited for you. 3 Why do you see the mote in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log in your own?! 4 Or how can you say to your brother: 'Let me take the mote out of your eye', when there is a beam in your eye?! 5 Hypocrite, first roll the log out of your own eye, and then you will see how to take the speck out of your brother's eye. Matthew 7 (Remain open to others.)
Understand the basis of human choice
- 12 For there are eunuchs who were born as such from their mother's womb. There are eunuchs who have been made such by men. And there are eunuchs who have made themselves such for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to know, judges." Matthew 19 (There are those who remain open to chastity, to the future.)
Maintain according to maturity
- 16 No one patches an old garment with a patch of new soap, because such a patch tears a piece of the garment, and the hole only gets bigger. 17 Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the wineskins would burst, the wine would spill out, and the wineskins would be wasted. But young wine is poured into new wineskins, and both last." Matthew 9 (Not to convert those who have already chosen their path. To offer a new path to those who have not chosen it.)
Belong to the lord, share in his grace
- 40 Whoever accepts you accepts me. And whoever receives me receives him who sent me. 41 Whoever accepts a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward. Whoever accepts the righteous because he is righteous will receive the reward of the righteous. 42 And whoever gives one of these men a cup of cold water to drink, because he is a disciple, truly I say to you, he will not lose his wages. Matthew 10]] (Not only the teachers are to be supported, but also the students who walk the path.)(To accept is to choose. To belong is to choose.)(Acceptance (triplet) and appreciation (triplet) are related.)
Realize that by behavior we choose a path specific to behavior
- 51 And behold, one of Jesus' companions stretched out his hand, drew his sword, attacked the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. 52 But Jesus said to him: "Put the sword back where it was, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword." Matthew 26 (Compare Psalm.)
Understand and compare circumstances, assessments and goals
- 6 But I tell you: here is more than a temple! 7 If you had understood what I want mercy and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the innocent. 8 The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." (About the condemning disciples who pluck bells on the Sabbath.) (Compare Psalm 40.) Matthew 12 (By comparing the circumstances in the Holy Scriptures and the world, he understands himself and others and God.)
- 11 He answered: "Which of you, having one sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not pull it and pull it out?!" 12 And how much more precious is a man than a sheep! So it is permissible to do good on the Sabbath." Matthew 12
Attach:Knowledge of Jesus Data5.png Δ Δ
Distinguish who is somewhat open to receive the word of God. Embrace ambiguity
'To recognize the world that separates itself from God, is not open to God, the hypocrisy of the world, the unwillingness to know
Taking care of the inside first is the truth of the heart
- 25 Woe to you, hypocritical scribes and Pharisees! You clean the outside of the cup and the bowl, but inside you are full of greed and intemperance. 26 Blind Pharisee! Clean the inside of the cup first, it will make the outside really clean too! Matthew 23
Essence is indefinable in space
- 26 Therefore, if they say to you: 'Behold, he is in the wilderness!' do not go: 'Behold, he is in the depths of the house!' do not believe. 27 As lightning comes from the east and shines to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 Where there are corpses, there will be hawks. Matthew 24
The essence is not shown by signs
- 23 If someone then says to you: 'Here is the Messiah' or: 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24 False messiahs and false prophets will arise, and they will perform great signs and wonders, trying to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 I forewarned you about this! Matthew 24
To understand the interconnectedness of everything, to abandon triviality
- 16 Woe to you, blind leaders who teach: 'If someone swears by the sanctuary, it is nothing, but if someone swears by the gold of the sanctuary, then he is bound.' 17 You are stupid and blind! What is greater, gold or the sanctuary that sanctifies gold? 18 Or, according to you: 'If someone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if someone swears by the offering on the altar, then he is bound.' 19 Blind! Which is greater, the offering or the altar that sanctifies the offering? 20 Therefore, whoever swears by the altar swears by what is placed on it, 21 and whoever swears by the sanctuary swears by it and by him who lives in it. 22 And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits in it. Matthew 23
Understand the temporality of irregularity, contradiction, division, division
- 23 The whole crowd was astonished and asked: "Couldn't this be the Son of David?" 24 When the Pharisees heard this, they said: "He does not drive out demons except by the power of Beelzebub, the ruler of demons." 25 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said: " Every divided kingdom will be devastated, and no divided city or house will stand. 26 Therefore, if Satan were to cast out Satan, he would also be divided within himself. How then could his kingdom stand? Matthew 12 (Unopenness is division.)
To see people's goals, what they care about, whether God's attention or people's attention
- 5 They do everything to be seen by people. They spread their prayer belts and increase the tassels on their cloaks. 6 They love the first seats at banquets and the first seats in synagogues, 7 they love greetings in the squares and long for people to call them 'rabbi'. Matthew 23
Understand how who receives what word
- 6 Do not give holy things to dogs and do not scatter your pearls to pigs, lest they sometimes trample them and turn and tear you to pieces.
Matthew 7 (Do not share advice with those who do not want it.)
To read minds, to understand what someone looks like
- 3 Some of the scribes began to murmur: "These are blasphemers!" 4 When Jesus read their thoughts, he said: "Why do you think so evilly in your hearts?
Matthew 9
Realize the goals of hypocrites, foresee traps
- 15 Then the Pharisees withdrew and discussed how to catch him in his speech. 16 They sent their disciples to him together with the supporters of Herod to ask: "Teacher, we know that you are a truthful speaker, you teach the true way of God and you do not favor anyone, because you do not look at the opinions of people. 17 So tell me, what do you think: is the will to pay taxes to Caesar or not?" 18 Realizing their deceit, Jesus said: "Why are you laying traps for me, you hypocrites?" Matthew 22
See the contradiction in the assessment
- 29 Woe to you, hypocritical scribes and Pharisees! You build tombstones for the prophets, decorate the monuments of the righteous 30 and say: 'If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have been stained with the blood of the prophets with them.' 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the children of the murderers of the prophets. 32 Fill up the measure of your parents! Matthew 23 (He considers himself better than his parents. He wants to be proud of his origin, and at the same time of his virtue.)
See the lack of openness and refusal to be open
- 13 Woe to you, hypocritical scribes and Pharisees! You shut up the kingdom of heaven to men, and you do not enter it yourself, nor do you allow those who desire to enter it. Matthew 23 (Compared to the degradation of people.) (To support the possibility that it is possible for a person to be good, to live with God.)
- 15 Woe to you, hypocritical scribes and Pharisees! You travel over land and sea to win one convert, and when one comes, you make him a hell child twice as bad as yourself. Matthew 23 (Their faith is disbelief in man, in his possibilities to live with God.)
To understand, to look more broadly, to want to see the whole
- 23 Woe to you, hypocritical scribes and Pharisees! You tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and you forget what is most important in the Law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You need to do this and not neglect that! 24 Blind leaders, you spit out a gnat and swallow a camel... Matthew 23 (The totality of external attitudes - justice, duty-mercy, faithfulness)
Allowing people to do bad things to get revenge and avoid condemnation
- 33 Snakes! Vipers hatch! How will you escape being condemned to hell?! 34 Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, others you will flog in the synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35 so that on you may fall all the innocent blood that has been shed on earth, beginning with the blood of righteous Abel and ending with the blood of Zechariah son of Barachi, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar. 36 Truly, I say to you, all these things will happen this time. Matthew 23
To allow people to separate, turn away, then come together on the basis of God
- 37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you. How many times I wanted to gather your children as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not! 38 Behold, your house will be left to you empty. 39 So I say to you: from now on you will not see me until you say: Glory to him who comes in the name of the Lord!" Matthew 23
Understand how to judge who is higher
- 24 A disciple is not higher than his teacher, than a servant is higher than his master. 25 It is enough if the student is equal to the teacher and the servant to the master. So if they named the head of the family Beelzebub, what can we say about the household! Matthew 10 (If God is Beelzebub, then Jesus and his followers are even more terrible! So what can be compared to Beelzebub?)
10 Then he called the crowd together and said, “Hear and understand! 11 It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth, that defiles a person." Matthew 15
15 Peter asked: "Explain the parable to us." 16 Jesus answered: "Are you still without understanding?!" 17 Don't you understand that everything that goes into the mouth goes into the stomach and is thrown out? 18 And what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and it defiles a person. 19 Out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, slanders. 20 These things defile a person, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile a person." Matthew 15
- 16 To whom can I compare this generation? She is like the children who sit in the marketplace and call out to their friends: 17 'We played for you, but you did not dance. We sang laments, but you did not cry...' Matthew 11
(Demands another to conform to them. Judges according to self, not according to another, not according to God.)
- 18 John came neither eating nor drinking, and they said, 'He is possessed by a demon.' justified by his works." Matthew 11
Caring about how thinking affects us
- 5 On their way to the other side of the lake, the disciples had forgotten to take bread. 6 Jesus said to them: "Look, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees." 7 And they reasoned: "It is because we did not take bread." 8 When Jesus heard this, he said: "You little believers! Whom do you consult if you have no bread? 9 Have you not yet acquired wisdom? Don't you remember the five loaves of bread for five thousand men and how many baskets of leftovers you collected?! 10 Or seven loaves of bread for four thousand, and how many baskets did you gather of the leftovers?! 11 So how do you not realize that I was not talking to you about bread. Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" 12 Then they understood that he had told them not to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Matthew 16 (The thinking of the Kingdom of Heaven encourages us to live more broadly, more heartily, more generously, while the thinking of the Pharisees encourages us to live more narrowly, more suspiciously, more stingily.)
Understand commonality based on behavior
- 30 He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. Matthew 12
'Introduced to those who are ambiguously in the world to seek heaven, would be investigators. For those who seek the truth, think in parables
Search comparison
- 16 To whom can I compare this generation? Matthew 11
Identify essential features by comparisons
- 1 The kingdom of heaven is like a master who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. ... Matthew 20
To speak to people about them in parables
- 5 When the chief priests and Pharisees heard the parables, they understood that Jesus was talking about them. 46 They tried to arrest him, but they were afraid of the people, because they considered Jesus a prophet. Matthew 21
Realize what God cares about
- 10 See that you do not despise any of these little ones, for I tell you, their angels in heaven always see the face of my heavenly Father. Matthew 18 (They are open to God.)
Detach from the name, live in essence, in action
- 8 And you do not call yourself 'Rabbi', because you have only one Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 And call none of your own father, for you have one Father in heaven. 10 Also do not call yourselves teachers, for your only Teacher is Christ. 11 He who is greater among you, let him be your servant. 12 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. Matthew 23 (Glorified by names - whoever rejects the name will receive the name, whoever accepts the name will not be worthy of the name)
Ask how people receive
- 13 When he came to the neighborhood of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked the disciples: "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" 14 They answered: "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, others Jeremiah or another of the prophets."
Doing justice (in the name of ambiguity)
- 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 John dissuaded him: "I should be baptized by you, and you come to me!" 15 But Jesus answered him: "Listen this time!" Thus it is fitting for both of us to do all that is necessary for righteousness." Then John agreed. Matthew 3 (Compared to the two-drachma tax that Peter paid.)
Obey God's commandments and face the consequences
- And if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments." 18 He asked: "What kind?" Jesus answered: "Do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness; 19 honor your father and mother; love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 19 (Are these the commandments of the Father or of the Son?)(Keeping the commandments fosters an ambiguity of purpose, in the name of whom, the lawgiver or oneself.)
Focus on God, do not deviate from him, search in the holy scriptures, rely on the holy scriptures
- 5 Then the devil takes him to the holy city, places him on the temple pillar 6 and says: "If you are the Son of God, fall down, for it is written: He will command his angels to watch over you, and they will carry you in their hands, so that you do not catch your foot against a stone." 7 Jesus answered him: "It is also written: Do not tempt the Lord your God." Matthew 4 (The devil quotes the scriptures, but Jesus does not get lost.) (The devil again thinks "if" but there is no "if" in the scriptures.)
Maintain ambiguity
- 27 However, so that we do not offend them, go to the lake, cast a fishing line, take the first fish that is hooked; after opening it, you will find a stater. Take it and give it to them for me and for yourself." Matthew 17
To create opportunities to agree or disagree, to live as a common person
- 15 If your brother sins against you, go and rebuke him in front of his eyes. If he listens, you won your brother. 16 And if they do not listen, take one or two more with you, so that the whole case rests on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 17 If he doesn't listen to them either, inform the Church. And if he does not obey even the Church, let him be to you as a heathen and a publican. 18 Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Matthew 18 (Destinies can be bound, disagreements can be untied.)
- 21 Then Peter came and asked: "Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother when he sins against me?" Or up to seven times?" 22 Jesus answered him, "I do not say to you up to seven, but up to seventy-seven times. Matthew 18
To think and communicate in comparisons, to base communication on them
- 5 On their way to the other side of the lake, the disciples had forgotten to take bread. 6 Jesus said to them: "Look, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees." 7 And they reasoned: "It is because we did not take bread." 8 When Jesus heard this, he said: "You little believers! Whom do you consult if you have no bread? 9 Have you not yet acquired wisdom? Don't you remember the five loaves of bread for five thousand men and how many baskets of leftovers you collected?! 10 Or seven loaves of bread for four thousand, and how many baskets did you gather of the leftovers?! 11 So how do you not realize that I was not talking to you about bread. Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" 12 Then they understood that he had told them not to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Matthew 16 (The thinking of the Kingdom of Heaven encourages us to live more broadly, more heartily, more generously, while the thinking of the Pharisees encourages us to live more narrowly, more suspiciously, more stingily.)
To see, accept, fulfill and reveal the living truth in the Holy Scriptures
- 34 All these things Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables, and without parables he did not speak to them. 35 It was fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet: I will open my mouth in parables, I will speak things hidden from the foundation of the world. Matthew 13
- 51 Have you understood all this?'' They say to him, 'Yes.' ://biblija.lt/index.aspx?cmp=reading&doc=BiblijaRKE1999_Mt_13 | Matthew 13]]
To discern the will of God in the Holy Scriptures
- 21 From that time, Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer a lot from the elders, high priests and scribes, be killed and rise again on the third day. Matthew 16
- 22 While he was still with the disciples in Galilee, Jesus said to them: "The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men, 23 and they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise again." Then they were very sad. Matthew 17
- 10 Then his disciples asked: "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" 11 He answered: "It is true, Elijah must come and set things right. 12 But I tell you that Elijah had already come, and they did not recognize him, but they did to him what they wanted. Thus the Son of Man will have to suffer from them." 13 Then the disciples understood that he was talking about John the Baptist. Matthew 17
Holy Scripture defines holiness
- 15 As soon as you see the monster of destruction announced by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (the reader must be careful!) Matthew 24
'Understanding of the Son of God in the kingdom of heaven, in the world of heaven. To experience, to tear oneself away, finally to judge by the judgment of the Son of God, as it is unambiguously. To separate the person and his circumstances.
Separate the person and the circumstances
- 9 As Jesus was leaving there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs office, and he said to him, "Follow me!" He got up and followed him. Matthew 9
To find out, then to leave, to be with God. Jesus separates himself from wrong teachers, withdraws, prays, spends time with God
- 13 After hearing this, Jesus sailed away in a boat to a desert, to solitude. The crowds found out and followed on foot from the cities. Matthew 14
- 22 Immediately Jesus forced the disciples to get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other shore until he dismissed the crowd. 23 After dismissing the crowd, he went up a mountain by himself to pray. And when evening came, he was there alone. Matthew 14
- 29 After leaving there, Jesus arrived at the Sea of Galilee. He climbed the mountain and sat down. Matthew 15
- 14 Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into the pit."
Matthew 15
Identical to him
- 46 While he was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers were standing outside and wanted to see him. 47 And someone told him: "Look, your mother and brothers are standing outside, they want to talk to you." 48 He answered the one who told him: "Who are my mother and who are my brothers?" 49 And stretching out his hand to the disciples, he said: "Here are my mother and my brothers! 50 Everyone who does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, sister and mother." Matthew 12
reports to Jesus
- 12 John's disciples came and took the body, buried it and gave the message to Jesus. Matthew 14
Hear from others, then leave
- 12 When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. Matthew 4
Check how it is
- 43 When he returned he found them sleeping again; their eyes were sleepy. 44 Then, leaving them, he went again and prayed a third time with the same words. Matthew 26
Express appreciation according to the kingdom of heaven
- 13 Then children were brought to him to lay his hands on them and pray. Students banned. 14 But Jesus said: "Suffer the little children and do not forbid them to come to me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." 15 And having laid his hands on them, he continued his journey. Matthew 19
The point is in the greatest, most terrible contradiction, in the greatest violation of holiness, when one has to rely on God
- 15 As soon as you see the monster of destruction announced by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (the reader must be involved!), 16 then whoever is in Judea, let him run to the mountains, 17 whoever is on the roof, get down to the ground to take his belongings from the house, 18 and whoever is in the fields, let him not return. to take a cloak. 19 Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days! 20 Pray that you will not have to run in the winter or on the Sabbath. 21 Then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until now, and such as will never be again. 22 And if those days were not shortened, not one person would be saved. But because of the elect those days will be cut short. Matthew 24(Jesus sensed the confrontation to which everything was leading.)
The essence is characterized by the shaking of the material universe, the revelation of the spiritual deity of Jesus, the overturning of the order
- 29 Soon after those days of calamity, the sun will be darkened, the moon will no longer give light, the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the nations of the earth will mourn and see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with great power and glory. 31 He will send his angels, who will gather his elect from all four countries, from one end of heaven to the other, with loud trumpets. Matthew 24 (Jesus has a sense of what kind of confrontation everything is leading to.)
Follow orders strictly, perfectly
- 20 The young man said: "I adhere to all this. What else do I lack?" 21 Jesus answered: "If you want to be perfect, go sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me." 22 After hearing these words, the young man went away sad because he had many possessions. Matthew 19 (Being depressed is a healthy emotion.) (To distribute everything to the poor comes from love for one's neighbor) (Be perfect - perfect detachment, unconditionality, unambiguity)
Focus on God, do not deviate from him, search in the holy scriptures, rely on the holy scriptures
- 8 The devil again takes him to a very high mountain and, showing the kingdoms of the whole world and their greatness, 9 says: "All these I will give you, if you fall down and worship me." 10 Then Jesus answers: "Go away, Satan!" After all, it is written: Worship the Lord your God and serve him alone!" 11 Then the devil withdrew from him; behold, the angels came near and ministered to him. Matthew 4 (Again, the devil thinks "if", while Jesus lives completely focused on God's command.)
Act sensitively, without publicity
- 15 Knowing this, Jesus withdrew from there. Many followed him, and he healed them all, 16 but warned them not to speak of him. 17 Thus the words of the prophet Isaiah were to be fulfilled: 18 Behold my chosen servant, my beloved, in whom my soul rejoices. I will give him my Spirit, and he will proclaim justice to the nations. 19 He will not argue, he will not shout, and no one will hear his voice in the streets. 20 He will not break a broken reed, nor extinguish a smoldering wick, until he has brought justice to victory; 21 and his name will give hope to the nations. Matthew 12
'Understand, it is God who will execute justice
Know for sure in advance
- 23 When he came to the elder's house and saw the pipers and the weeping crowd, 24 Jesus said: "Come out, for the girl is not dead, but asleep." They just laughed at him. 25 When the crowd was dismissed, he went in, took the girl by the hand, and she got up. 26 The word about it spread throughout the land. Matthew 9 (The elder of the synagogue acted from the heart because he asked Jesus for help even though Jesus was rejected by the Pharisees.)
Anticipate in advance
- 24 When they came to Capernaum, the didrachm collectors came to Peter and asked: "Does your teacher not pay the didrachm?" 25 He answered: "Yes!" When he entered the house, Jesus spoke to him first: Matthew 17 (This is perhaps related to maintaining the ambiguity - Jesus knew everything in advance.)
Realize what has to happen
- 45 Then he returned to the disciples and said: "You are still sleeping and resting... Behold, the hour has come when the Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of sinners. 46 Get up, let's go! Here is my betrayer right here." Matthew 26
Realize how God turns things around
- 30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first. Matthew 19 (Compared to the statements against who will then be able to be saved... it is impossible for humans, everything is possible for God. God emphasizes his grace, his unconditionality, his will, the inadequacy of human will, the insignificance.)
Realize how it will be after everything, how it will look from God's point of view
- 27 Then Peter asked him: "Behold, we have left everything and are following you." What will we get for this?" 28 And Jesus answered them: "Truly I say to you: in the revival of the world, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of his glory, you, my followers, will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left home, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children, land for my sake will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. Matthew 19
Anticipate God's judgment
- 27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will reward everyone according to his works. 28 Truly I say to you, some of those standing here will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming with his kingdom. Matthew 16]]
Judge from God's point of view
- 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So you will know them by their fruits. Matthew 7
The essence is indeterminate in time. It is not perceived from outside, but only directly.
- 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. 36 But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Matthew 24

Kingdom of Heaven: A more heavenly perspective illuminates an earthly one with good news.
'Distinguish between the world's and students' viewpoints. How do I look? Order. To spread the truth and stay away from deceivers.
How do I look? Stay away from temptation to sin.
- 27 You have heard that it was said: Do not commit adultery! 28 And I say to you: everyone who looks at a woman lustfully is already committing adultery in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one member than for your whole body to be cast into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one member than for your whole body to go to hell. Matthew 5
Separate the healthy from the unhealthy. Taking care of fate.
- 8 If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or bound than to be thrown into eternal fire with both hands or both feet. 9 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life alone than with both eyes to be thrown into hell fire. Matthew 18
Separate from the unyielding. Differentiate between the attitudes of having and not having
- 28 Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten talents. 29 To everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 Cast this unfaithful servant into darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' Matthew 25
Dissociate yourself from those who do not accept. Separate people. To see the waiting, approving, ready to receive and open to him
- 11 When you come to any city or village, find a worthy person and stay with him until you leave. 12 When you enter a house, greet them. 13 And if the house is worthy, your peace will come under its roof. And if they are not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 If you are not received anywhere and your words are not listened to, then when you leave such a house or such a city, shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Truly I say to you, it will be easier for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for such a city. Matthew 10 (Distinguishes between those who are open to God and those who are not open.)
Confess the real thing. Realize your role, importance and meaning to everyone and to God
- 13 "You are the salt of the earth. If the salt loses its saltiness, what should it be salted with? It is not good for anyone, and it remains to be poured out for people to trample on. Matthew 5 (A good quality destroys evil, preserves good.)
- 14 You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 And no one carries a burning lamp in a vessel, but puts it in a lampstand to give light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light also shine before men, so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5
Respect the children's point of view
- 15 The chief priests and the scribes, when they saw the miracles he performed and the children shouting in the temple, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" 16 became angry and said to him, "Do you hear what they are saying?" Jesus answered, "I hear. Have you never read: From the lips of children and infants you have prepared praise for yourself?” 17 And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and spent the night there. Matthew 21
Remove the devil and reveal the real man
- 32 After they had gone, behold, a demon-possessed dumb man was brought. 33 After the demon was cast out, the mute spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, "These things have never happened in Israel before." 34 And the Pharisees said, "He casts out demons and has control over them. Matthew 9
Invite and listen to the heart, who responds, that's how to select. To distinguish who is in the heart, whether he changed his mind, came to his senses
- Then Jesus said to them: "Truly I say to you, tax collectors and harlots will enter the kingdom of God sooner than you. 32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, but you did not believe him. And publicans and harlots believed. But you, although you saw it, did not change your mind or believe in him. Matthew 21
Choose Jesus instead of self. Lead to a choice between God and the world
- 34 Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 I have come to set the son against the father, the daughter against the mother, and the daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law. 36 A man's household will become his enemies. 37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever loves a son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Matthew 10
Avoid faulty thinking. To think and communicate in comparisons, to base communication on them
- 5 On their way to the other side of the lake, the disciples had forgotten to take bread. 6 Jesus said to them: "Look, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees." 7 And they reasoned: "It is because we did not take bread." 8 When Jesus heard this, he said: "You little believers! Whom do you consult if you have no bread? 9 Have you not yet acquired wisdom? Don't you remember the five loaves of bread for five thousand men and how many baskets of leftovers you collected?! 10 Or seven loaves of bread for four thousand, and how many baskets did you gather of the leftovers?! 11 So how do you not realize that I was not talking to you about bread. Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" 12 Then they understood that he had told them not to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Matthew 16 (The thinking of the Kingdom of Heaven encourages us to live more broadly, more heartily, more generously, while the thinking of the Pharisees encourages us to live more narrowly, more suspiciously, more stingily.)
Do not oppress others. Distinguish between the behaviors of God and the world.
- 25 And Jesus, having called them to himself, said: "You know that the rulers of the nations oppress the nations and the great ones show them their power. 26 It shall not be among you. Matthew 20
To look from the inside, compared to the outside, to see hypocrisy, wickedness
- 27 Woe to you, hypocritical scribes and Pharisees! You are like whitewashed tombstones that look beautiful on the surface, but inside are full of dead people's bones and all kinds of dirt. 28 So you also appear righteous to men on the outside, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness. Matthew 23
Distinguish between real and fake. Identify the scammers. To check.
- 3 When he sat down on the Mount of Olives, some disciples came and asked, "Tell us, when will these things be?" And what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the world?" 4 Jesus answered them: "See that no one misleads you. 5 Many will come disguised in my name and say, 'I am the Messiah!' and will mislead many. Matthew 24
'Distinguish between the viewpoints of the world and the Son. How else should it be done? Presence. Don't hesitate to identify with the needy and small, to communicate in essence, not on the surface.
How else should we behave?
- 21 You have heard that it was said to the ancestors: Do not kill; and whoever kills will have to answer in court. 22 And I say to you: if anyone is angry with his brother, he must answer in court. Whoever says to his brother: 'You half-wit!', will have to stand before the council of the supreme court. And whoever says: 'Madman!' is condemned to the fire of hell. 23 If you bring a gift to the altar and there you remember that your brother has so and so before you, 24 leave your offering there at the altar, go first to reconcile with your brother and only then, when you return, offer your gift. Matthew 5
- 25 Make an agreement with your plaintiff quickly, while still on the way to the court, so that the plaintiff does not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the bailiff, and that you do not end up in prison. 26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt not come out of thence, until thou hast come down to the last spur. Matthew 5 (To intervene in the sequence of events, to direct them.)
Separate those who identify with everyone, with the needy
- 41 Then he will speak to those standing on the left: 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels! 42 For I was hungry and you did not feed me, I was thirsty and you did not listen to me, 43 I was a traveler and you did not shelter me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and a prisoner and you did not visit me.' have we seen the hungry or the thirsty, or the traveler, or the sick, or the prisoner, and we have not served you?' these will go to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." Matthew 25
Understand the conditions for achieving the goal. To separate the ignorance of the heart from the knowledge of the world.
- At that hour, the disciples approached Jesus and asked: "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" 2 Calling a little child, Jesus placed him among them 3 and said: "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter heaven 4 Therefore whoever becomes little like this little child will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18 (As you value the small, so you value the big, because the small will grow big.)
- 5 Whoever receives such a child for my sake receives me. Matthew 18
Compare the environments of the world and the sky
- 11 Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not been one greater than John the Baptist, but the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than him. 12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven is attacked by force, and the violent take it for themselves. 13 All the prophets and the Law prophesied before John, 14 and if you want to accept it, he is the Elijah who is to come. 15 He who has ears, let him listen! Matthew 11 (The prophets prophesied what would happen, and the inhabitants of the kingdom of heaven live as they are, open to what is happening.)
The world destroys ambiguity, the individual maintains ambiguity
- Then the high priest said to him: "I adjure you by the living God to tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God?!" 64 Jesus answered: "You said. Matthew 26 (The priest removes the ambiguity.)
To listen to a person, his heart
- 11 Jesus stood before the governor. The ruler asked him: "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered: "You said." 12 When the chief priests and elders complained, he did not answer at all. 13 Then Pilate asked: "Do you not hear how terribly they accuse you?" 14 But he did not answer any of the accusations, and by this he completely surprised the governor. Matthew 27
Understand the accepted role and evaluate its performance
- 1 At that time, Jesus addressed the crowd and his disciples: 2 "The scribes and the Pharisees sat down at the foot of Moses. 3 Therefore do and observe all that they command, but do not do as they do, for they speak but do not do. Matthew 23
Behaviors, events instead of signs
- Jesus watches the development, the progress, when to sow, when to reap, when to wait, when to decide.
- 1 Here Pharisees and Sadducees came to him to tempt him. They asked to show them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered: "When evening comes, you say: 'It will be clear, because the sky is red.' 4 An evil and unfaithful generation demands a sign, but no other sign will be given to it than the sign of Jonah.” And leaving them, he went away. Matthew 16
Empathize, evaluate, compare, judge based on feedback and capabilities
- 20 Then Jesus began to rebuke the cities where most of his miracles were performed for not converting: 21 "Woe to you, Chorazin!" Woe to you, Bethsaida! If such miracles had happened in Tire or Sidon as were done in your place, they would have converted and repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 Therefore I say to you: It will be easier for Tire and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you! 23 And you, Capernaum, will you not be exalted to heaven? You're going to the world of the dead! If such miracles had happened in Sodom as happened in you, it would still be standing today. 24 Therefore I say to you: It will be easier for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you. Matthew 11]]
Distinguish between the spoken word (coming from people) and the meaning expressed (coming from God)
- 23 When Jesus came to the temple and began to teach, the chief priests and the elders of the people approached him, who asked: "By what authority do you do these things?" Who gave you this power?" 24 Jesus answered: "And I want to ask you one thing. If you answer me, and I will tell you by whose authority I do this. 25 Where was John's baptism from? From heaven or from men?' : "We do not know." So he also answered: "I will not say by what power I do this either. Matthew 21
To focus on the essence, to judge according to the essence, to fulfill the will of God
- 22 Many will say to me when that day comes: 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, did we not cast out demons in your name, did we not perform many miracles in your name?!' 23 Then I will declare to them: 'I never knew you. Away from me, you wicked!' Matthew 7
'To distinguish the viewpoints of the disciples and the Son. Would it make a difference? Participation. A person is free to give up himself, his freedom, knowledge, possession, to live in spirit, ignorance, lack of possession, so to separate, to empower together. instead, one does not necessarily go one's way, whereas a person goes one's way in any case.
Would it make a difference?
- 43 You have heard that it was said: Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. 44 And I say to you: love your enemies and pray for your persecutors, 45 that you may be children of your heavenly Father; after all, he makes his sun shine on the bad and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. 46 If you love only those who love you, what reward will you receive? Aren't the customs officers doing the same?! 47 And if you greet only your brothers, how are you above others? Don't pagans do that too?! 48 Be ye therefore perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5
- 10 The disciples came and asked: "Why do you speak to them in parables?" 11 Jesus answered: "It has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but it has not been given to them. 12 For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 13 I speak to them in parables because they do not see when they look, and when they hear they do not hear and do not understand. Matthew 13 (Separation of Fates)
- 14 The words of Isaiah's prophecy are being fulfilled for them: To hear you will hear, but you will not understand, to see you will see, but you will not see. 15 The heart of this nation has grown cold. They heard poorly with their ears and closed their eyes so that sometimes they would not see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart and be converted, and I would not heal them. 16 Therefore blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. 17 Truly I say to you, many prophets and righteous people desired to see what you see, but did not see, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear. (Care not to affect separation) (Compassion for people of various destinies) (Believers are equal to Jesus, and he communicates with them as if with himself. And with those who have not yet decided, he speaks in parables). (Personalities are free and individuals have already chosen.)
Understand the consequences of the choice
- 24 Then Jesus said to his disciples: "If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." (Living as a person, not a personality.) 25 Whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 What does it profit a man if he wins the whole world and loses his own life?! Or what could a man redeem his life? Matthew 16
To renounce oneself in this world, to live beyond this world
- 38 Whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever saves his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Matthew 10
Take life calmly.
- 28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened; I will revive you! 29 Take my yoke upon your shoulders and learn from me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for your souls. 30 My yoke is easy, my burden is light." Matthew 11 (Jesus calms himself down, he experiences that his neighbors did not accept his miracles.)
How to support spiritually
- 1 Seeing the crowds, Jesus went up on a mountain and sat down. The students approached him. 2 Opening his lips he taught: Matthew 5
Understand what interposition means
- 26 At supper, Jesus took bread, blessed it, broke it and gave it to the disciples, saying: "Take and eat: this is my body." 27 Then, taking the cup, he gave thanks and gave it to them, saying: "Drink from it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins. Matthew 26 (Jesus' bread is to become his body, but he intervenes. His wine is to become his blood, but he intervenes. He lives not for himself, but for many, thereby forgiving sins, introducing the freedom with which all are the same.)
To empower those you call
- 1 When Jesus called his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits to cast them out and to heal all kinds of diseases and infirmities. Matthew 10
Realize what a person has
- 33 The disciples answered him: "Where can we get enough bread in the desert to feed such a crowd?" 34 Jesus asked: "How much bread do you have?" They answered: "Seven loaves and a few fish." 35 He told the people to sit down on the ground. . 36 Then he took the seven loaves of bread and the fish, gave thanks, broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the people. 37 Everyone ate and was satisfied. And he collected seven baskets full of leftover pieces 38 And those who ate were about four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 After dismissing the crowd, he got into a boat and sailed to the outskirts of Magadan. (He who has will gain more, and he who does not have will lose what he has...)
To go among people, to teach them
- 1 After he finished instructing the twelve disciples, Jesus went out to teach and preach [the Gospel] in other cities. Matthew 11
To notice what others are going through
- 6 When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces, greatly frightened. 7 But Jesus came and touched them and said, "Get up, don't be afraid!" 8 When they raised their eyes, they saw nothing but Jesus alone. Matthew 17
Separate those who identify with everyone, with the needy
- 31 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his throne of honor. 32 The people of all nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will place the sheep on the right, the goats on the left. 34 And the king said to those standing on the right: 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world! 35 For I was hungry, and you fed me, I was thirsty, and you gave me drink, I was a passenger, and you sheltered me, 36 I was naked, you visited me, I was a prisoner, you came to me.' 37 Then the righteous will ask: 'Lord, when have we seen you hungry and fed you, thirsty and given you drink? 38 When did we see you traveling and sheltered you or naked and clothed you? 39 When did we see you sick or a prisoner?' .aspx?cmp=reading&doc=BiblijaRKE1999_Mt_25 | Matthew 25]]
Get into the listener's thinking, worldview
- At that hour, the disciples approached Jesus and asked: "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" 2 Having called a little child, Jesus stood among them 3 and said: "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." 4 Therefore whoever becomes little like this little child will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18
To watch, to stay alert, to resist temptation, to be guided by the spirit
- 40 He returned to the disciples and, finding them asleep, said to Peter: "Could you not stay awake with me for one hour? 41 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit is determined, but the body is weak." Matthew 26
Settle, calm yourself down
- 43 When he returned he found them sleeping again; their eyes were sleepy. 44 Then, leaving them, he went again and prayed a third time with the same words. Matthew 26
To observe and compare, to understand how it differs from others
Hear the person and personality.
- 20 When evening came, Jesus and the twelve disciples gathered at the table. 21 When he began to eat, he said: "Truly I say to you, one of you will betray me." 22 They were very sad and began to ask one by one: "Is it not me, Lord?" in the bowl. 24 The Son of Man indeed goes his way, just as it is written about him, but woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man. It would have been better for him not to have been born." 25 His betrayer Judas asked: "Aren't I, Rabbi?!" He answered: "You said!" Matthew 26 (Judas' question shows that he understands Jesus, and Jesus' answer shows that he hears his personality. Perhaps the others asked as individuals, and it is Judas, as a personality (Jesus emphasizes "You"), therefore he is condemned. )(Personality is free, and the individual goes his own way.)
Understand that the time has come
- 17 On the first day of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked: "Tell me where to prepare the Passover dinner for you?" 18 He answered: "Go to the city to such a man and say to him: 'The Teacher says: My time has come.' I will eat the Passover dinner with my disciples at your place.'" 19 The disciples did as Jesus commanded and prepared the Passover table. Matthew 26 (A person's way is given.)
Understand the importance of timing
- 14 Then the disciples of John came and asked: "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?" 15 Jesus answered: "Can the bridegroom mourn while the bridegroom is with them?" The days will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they will fast. Matthew 9 (The disciples do not see how it will be, but the person already knows how it will be.)
Separate people. To see the waiting, approving, ready to receive and open to him
- 11 When you come to any city or village, find a worthy person and stay with him until you leave. 12 When you enter a house, greet them. 13 And if the house is worthy, your peace will come under its roof. And if they are not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 If you are not received anywhere and your words are not listened to, then when you leave such a house or such a city, shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Truly I say to you, it will be easier for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for such a city. Matthew 10 (Distinguishes between those who are open to God and those who are not open.)
To uphold the truth of the heart
- Jesus threatened: "See that no one finds out!" 31 But they went out and made him famous throughout the country. Matthew 9 (It is necessary to keep in the hearts truth from within, as the heart believes, not the examples of the world's truth, as the world teaches.)
Understand the desire to know reality. Addressing the depth of a person, his goals
- 7 As they were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see?" Are the reeds swaying in the wind? 8 And what did you go out to see? Or a person in soft clothes? The soft-clothed Ants live in the king's palace. 9 So why did you leave? Do you see a prophet? Matthew 11
To those who doubt, show God with your actions and words
- 5 Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk!' 6 And so that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins, here he said to the paralytic, get up, take a stretcher and go home?” 7 He got up and went home. 8 When the crowds saw all this, they were afraid and praised God who had given such power to people. Matthew 9 (Is it easier to empathize and empathize sensitively, or to command angrily, coldly?)
To experience God's grace
- 2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. Matthew 17
'To distinguish between the viewpoints of the Son and God. What is up to me? To open up to God and obey his will.
What is up to me?
- 33 You have also heard that it was said to the ancestors: Do not break an oath, but fulfill your oaths to the Lord. 34 And I say to you: do not swear at all, neither by heaven, because it is the throne of God, 35 nor by the earth, because it is his footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King. 36 Do not swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. 37 Rather you should say: 'Yes', if yes, 'No' if no, and what is above is from the evil one. Matthew 5
- A man does not count his sins, even more than he does not count his hair. Psalm 40 "13 I am surrounded by innumerable afflictions, my sins have overwhelmed me, I can no longer see them; they are more than the hairs on my head, and I have lost courage."
Understand who knows who, what is given to whom
- 26 Yes, Father, because it pleased you so. 27 All things are given to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and to whom the Son will reveal himself. Matthew 11
To pray to God, your Father, to express your wishes, to give priority to God's will
- 36 Soon Jesus came with them to a farm called Gethsemane and said to the disciples: "Sit here while I go there and pray." 37 Taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, he began to be sad and grieved. 38 Then he said to them: "My soul is grieved to death. Stay here and wake up with me." 39 Having gone a little further, he fell on his knees and prayed: "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. But not as I want, but as you!" Matthew 26
Accept, express, recognize reality as God's will
- 42 And he went again a second time and prayed: "My Father, if this cup cannot pass without my drinking, let your will be done!" Matthew 26 (He does not emphasize his desire the second time.)
Separate your own affairs and those of God the Father
- 23 Then he said: "My cup, it is true, you will drink, but to sit on my right hand or on my left is not my business to give you; it will be for those to whom it has been appointed by my Father." 24 When the other ten disciples heard this, they became angry with those brothers. Matthew 20
Accept your destiny
- 33 When they came to a place called Golgotha (that is, "Place of the Skull"), 34 they gave him wine mixed with gall to drink, but Jesus only tasted it and did not drink. Matthew 27
- 21 After leaving there, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tire and Sidon. 22 And behold, a Canaanite woman came from that land and cried: "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David!" My daughter is terribly tormented by a demon!” 23 But Jesus did not answer. Then the disciples came and began to beg him: "Listen to her, for she is following you shouting!" 24 Jesus said: "I am sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Matthew 15
Understand the roles of yourself, others and God, how to cooperate
- 37 Then he said to the disciples: "The harvest is great, but the workers are few. 38 Pray to the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest."

To give priority to the will of God the Father
- 53 Maybe you think that I cannot ask my Father and he will not send me over twelve legions of angels?! 54 But how can the scriptures be fulfilled that this must happen?!" 55 At that hour Jesus said to the crowd: "You have come out to catch me as a robber with swords and clubs. I sat in the temple teaching every day, and you did not arrest me. 56 But everything happens in this way so that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled." Then all the disciples, leaving him, fled. Matthew 26 (The Father would obey the Son but the Son gives priority to the Father)
Do not for your own glory, but for God's glory
- 4 Jesus added: "Look, don't tell anyone, but go and appear to the priest and offer the offering that Moses commanded to testify to them." Matthew 8
Distinguish between God's assurance and man's doubt
- 20 When the disciples saw this, they were amazed and said: "How could that fig tree wither so quickly?" 21 Jesus answered: "Truly I say to you, if you had faith and did not waver, not only could you do this to the fig tree, but you would say to this mountain: ' Get up and throw yourself into the sea!' 22 Whatever you ask for in faith, you will receive it." Matthew 21
'Distinguish between the disciples' and God's viewpoints. Am I able to consider the question? To see the transcendence of the earthly attitude.
Am I able to consider the question?
- 38 You have heard that it was said: An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. 39 And I say to you: do not resist an evil [man], but if someone hits you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, give him your cloak as well. 41 If someone forces you to go a mile, go with him two. 42 Give to those who ask and do not turn away from those who want to borrow from you. Matthew 5
To listen to your feelings, your sadness
- 36 Soon Jesus came with them to a farm called Gethsemane and said to the disciples: "Sit here while I go there and pray." 37 Taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, he began to be sad and grieved. 38 Then he said to them: "My soul is grieved to death. Stay here and wake up with me." 39 Having gone a little further, he fell on his knees and prayed: "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. But not as I want, but as you!" Matthew 26 (Jesus' soul is his personality. It is important for him to be with his loved ones in case of sadness.) (Jesus approaches both his disciples and God.)
To establish the right relationship when communicating with another person
- 16 Behold, a young man approached Jesus and asked: "Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?" 17 He answered: "Why do you ask me about good?" One is only Good! Matthew 19 (Juxtaposes the disciple and God.)
Watch how a person receives
- 15 He asked again: "And who do you think I am?" 16 Then Simon Peter answered: "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God!" 17 Jesus said to him: "Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah, for flesh and blood do not revealed to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I say unto thee, Thou art Peter [the rock]; upon that rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." 20 Then he strictly ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah. Matthew 16 (Do not preach, because it is God who must enlighten everyone.)
To listen to whether the thinking corresponds to reality. See obstacles to thinking.
- She answered: "Tell these two sons of mine to sit in your kingdom, one on your right and the other on your left." 22 Jesus answered: "You do not know what you are asking. Matthew 20 (Compared to the blind leading the blind.)
Understand others so that you are also understood by God. To imagine that God sympathizes with us like a father, experiences us through our eyes, only from above
- 14 If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 And if you do not forgive people, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6
Comparing God and people
- 7 Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you. 8 Everyone who asks receives, everyone who seeks finds, and to those who knock it is opened. 9 Will there be a man among you who would give a stone to his child who asks for bread?! 10 Or if he asked for a fish, would you not give him a snake? 11 So if you, being poor, teach your children to give good things, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him. Matthew 7
Compare the logic of the heart with the logic of the world
- 24 When they came to Capernaum, the didrachm collectors came to Peter and asked: "Does your teacher not pay the didrachm?" 25 He answered: "Yes!" When he entered the house, Jesus spoke to him first: "What do you think, Simon?" From whom do the kings of the earth take a toll or tax: from their own children or from strangers?" 26 He answered: "From strangers." Jesus said to him: "So the children are free." . Matthew 17
To obey God, to accept trials

To feel a connection with God or not
- 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice: Eli, Eli, lema sabachtani? it means: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?! Matthew 27
Turning to God and to people
- 7 Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you. 8 Everyone who asks receives, everyone who seeks finds, and to those who knock it is opened. 9 Will there be a man among you who would give a stone to his child who asks for bread?! 10 Or if he asked for a fish, would you not give him a snake? 11 So if you, being poor, teach your children to give good things, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him. Matthew 7 (Jesus knows from his own experience.)
Realize God's close relationship with people
- 31 And about the resurrection of the dead, haven't you read what God told you: 32 I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. He is not the God of the dead, but of the living!” 33 Hearing this, the crowd marveled at his knowledge. Matthew 22
- 41 While the Pharisees were still gathered, Jesus asked them: 42 "What do you think about the Messiah?" Whose son is he?" They answered: "David's." 43 He said to them: "And why does David, inspired by the Spirit, call him Lord, saying: 44 The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand, I will make your enemies as your footstool legs 45 So if David calls him Lord, how then can he be his son?!” 46 And no one could answer him a word nor did anyone dare to question him from that day on. Matthew 22
To separate from people, to be in the presence of God
- 1 After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James and his brother John and led them by themselves on a high mountain. Matthew 17
- 9 While coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them: "Tell no one about the vision until the Son of Man rises from the dead." Matthew 17
Hear from God
- 4 Then Peter says to Jesus: "Lord, it is good for us to be here!" If you want, I will make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and the third for Elijah." 5 While he was still speaking, behold, a clear cloud covered them, and behold, a voice from the cloud spoke: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!" Matthew 17
Distinguish word and will
- 28 What do you think? One man had two sons. Once he turned to the first, saying: 'Son, go and work in the vineyard today.' 29 The latter replied: 'I don't want to', but later changed his mind and went to work. 30 Then the father addressed the second son with the same words. He answered him: 'I am going, Lord', but he did not go. 31 Did each of them do the will of the father?" They answered: "The first." Matthew 21
Understand the roles of yourself, others and God, how to cooperate
- 37 Then he said to the disciples: "The harvest is great, but the workers are few. 38 Pray to the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest."
Matthew 9 (Jesus understands the importance of involving others, and the importance of them establishing a relationship with God through prayer.)(Expresses the Son's relationship with God, and also the Son's relationship with the disciples.)
How to align your will (to be blessed) with God's will (to bless)
- 3 "Blessed are those who have a poor spirit; theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn; they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek; they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness; they will be satiated. 7 Blessed are the merciful; they will receive mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart; they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers; they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness' sake; theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5
- 11 Blessed are you when you are despised and persecuted and falsely slandered in every way because of me. 12 Be glad and rejoice, for you have a rich reward in heaven. After all, prophets were once persecuted in the same way. Matthew 5
'Distinguish between the views of the world and those of God. Should it be? It's not right, it should be. Distinguish between what comes from God and what comes from man.
Should it be?
- 31 It was also said: He who divorces his wife, let him issue her a writ of divorce. 32 And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except in the case of fornication, encourages her to commit adultery; and if anyone marries a divorced woman, he commits adultery. Matthew 5
Distinguish between what comes from God and what comes from man
- 1 Once the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem approached Jesus and asked: 2 "Why do your disciples break the custom of their ancestors?" They do not wash their hands before eating." 3 He replied: "And why do you break God's commandment because of your custom?! 4 After all, God has commanded: Honor your father and mother! and: Whoever curses father or mother shall surely die! 5 And you say: 'Whoever said to his father or mother, "Let it be a gift for the temple, with what I should help you," 6 he may not honor his father and mother.' Thus you nullify the commandment of God because of your custom. 7 Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied well about you: 8 This people praises me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 9 In vain they worship me, teaching precepts invented by men." Matthew 15
- 12 Then the disciples came and reported: "Do you know that the Pharisees were indignant when they heard those words?" 13 He answered: "Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted. Matthew 15
- 22 Then Peter, calling him aside, began to forbid: "No one alive, Lord, this must not happen to you!" 23 And he turned and rebuked Peter: "Go away, Satan!" You are an outrage to me, because you do not think with the thoughts of God, but with the thoughts of people." Matthew 16
Realize the superiority of God and Scripture thinking over conventional thinking
- 23 On the same day, the Sadducees, who do not believe in the resurrection of the dead, came to him and asked: 24 "Teacher, Moses said: If someone dies childless, let his brother marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother." 25 Seven brothers have been here with us. The first married died and, having no children, left his wife to his brother. 26 This happened to the second and the third to the seventh. 27 That woman died last of all. 28 So when the dead rise, which of the seven will she be married to? After all, everyone has had it." 29 Jesus answered them: "You are mistaken, knowing neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 When they are resurrected, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage, but will be like the angels of God in heaven. Matthew 22
See God's point of view, not society's point of view
- 9 So I say to you: whoever divorces his wife except for fornication and marries another commits adultery." Matthew 19
Distinguish between God's order and man's order
- 3 Then a Pharisee came to him. Setting traps, they asked: "Can a man put away his wife for any reason?" 4 He answered: "Have you not read that the Creator created men in the beginning male and female 5 and said: Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife , and the two shall become one flesh. 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What God has joined together, man must not put asunder." Matthew 19
Distinguish wills, understandings and values
- 1 The kingdom of heaven is like a master who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 After making a deal with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 When he went out about three o'clock, he saw others standing in the square without work. 4 He said to them: 'You also go into my vineyard, and I will pay you what is right!' 5 And they went. And going out again about six and nine o'clock, he did the same. 6 When he went out about eleven o'clock, he found others standing still and said to them: 'Why are you standing here all day without work?' , the owner of the vineyard says to the farmer: 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last and ending with the first!' 10 When they approached, the first ones thought it was more abundant, but they also received a denarius each. 11 As they took it, they murmured against the owner 12 and said: 'These last ones only worked for one hour, and you compared them to us, who carried the burden of the day and the heat.' Didn't you bargain with me for a denarius? 14 Take what is yours and go your own way. I want to give this last one as much as you. 15 Don't I have to manage my affairs as I want?! Is that why you say that I am good?!' 16 So the last will be first and the first last." Matthew 20 (God cares to include everyone, so the last will be the most important, the first.)
To distinguish what belongs to whom according to presentation
- 19 Show me the tax money!” They handed him the denarius. 20 He asked: "Whose image and inscription is this?" 21 They answered: "Caesar's." Then Jesus said: "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to the God of God." 22 When they heard this, they were amazed and, leaving him, went Matthew 22
Communicate with those who desire communication
- 10 When he was sitting at the table in Matthew's house, many publicans and sinners gathered there and sat down next to Jesus and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples: "Why does your Master eat with tax collectors and sinners?" 12 Hearing this, Jesus answered: "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 Go and learn the meaning of the words: I desire mercy, and not sacrifice. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners." [[http://biblija.lt/index.aspx?cmp=reading&doc=BiblijaRKE1999_Mt_09 | Matthew 9]
To accept and glorify God, the creator of the world, the study.
To recognize God as superior. To bow down to God as a participant in his study. Don't know. Ask God. Praise the God who enables the reception of wisdom.
"Follow the teacher, share his virtue"
- 24 A disciple is not higher than his teacher, than a servant is higher than his master. 25 It is enough if the student is equal to the teacher and the servant to the master. Matthew 10 (The teacher is the researcher.)
To empathize with God's point of view and his relationship with the points of view of others
- 25 At that time, Jesus spoke: "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden this from the wise and prudent, and revealed it to little ones. Matthew 11
Ask God
- 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice: Eli, Eli, lema sabachtani? it means: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?! Matthew 27
Unsorted
Realize that everyone dear will have a chance to save themselves
- 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world for a witness to all nations. And then the end will come. Matthew 24
House of the Knowledge of Jesus
Notes
- How do the expectations of Jesus, his being one with all of us, relate to the science of love, the circulation of survival, the palace of his knowledge? How does his House of Knowledge stand out from the House of Knowledge of all our personalities? How to determine the personality of the account taking into account its palace of knowledge, key value, questions, answers to 12 questions? How do you define a specific personality and how does it relate to the overall personality?
- Jesus focuses on the ambiguity, should we live with God? or by yourself? How to reconcile this? After all, he arose in himself. The kingdom of heaven is the survival of the self in spirit. It is in the sense that we believe it will be so - will we live an ordinary life or an eternal life?
