And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
13 And ye shall be hated of ALL men for MY NAME'S SAKE: but HE THAT SHALL ENDURE UNTO THE END, THE SAME SHALL BE SAVED.
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, STANDING WHERE IT OUGHT NOT, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
20 AND EXCEPT THAT THE LORD HAD SHORTENED THOSE DAYS, NO FLESH SHOULD BE SAVED: BUT FOR THE ELECT'S SAKE, WHOM HE HATH CHOSEN, HE HATH SHORTENED THE DAYS.
21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23 But take ye heed: behold, I HAVE FORETOLD YOU ALL THINGS.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and THE POWERS THAT ARE IN HEAVEN shall be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the SONE OF MAN coming in the clouds with GREAT POWER AND GLORY.
27 And then shall HE SEND HIS ANGELS, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the UTTERMOST PART OF THE EARTH to the UTTERMOST PART OF HEAVEN.
28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30 Verily I say unto you, THAT THIS GENERATION SHALL! NOT! PASS! TILL ALL THESE THINGS BE DONE..
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
32 BUT OF THAT DAY AND THAT HOUR KNOWETH NO MAN, NO, NOT THE ANGELS WHICH ARE IN HEAVEN, NEITHER THE SON, BUT THE FATHER.
33 TAKE YE HEED, watch! and pray!: for ye know not when the time is.
34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to EVERY man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35 WATCH YE THEREFORE: FOR YE KNOW NOT WHEN THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE COMETH, AT EVEN, OR AT MIDNIGHT, OR AT THE COCKCROWING, OR IN THE MORNING:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, WATCH.

Neither do I Tell you by what AUTHORITY I do these things ~MARK 11~ The Time of Figs WAS NOT YET
And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had LOOKED ROUND ABOUT upon ALL THINGS, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 And SEEING a fig tree AFAR off having leaves, he came, IF haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, HE FOUND NOTHING BUT LEAVES; for the TIME OF FIGS WAS NOT YET.
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and BEGAN TO CAST OUT THEM that sold and bought in the temple, and OVERTHRE THE TABLES of the moneychangers, AND THE SEATS of them that sold doves;
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of ALL NATIONS the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished AT HIS DOCTRINE.
19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20 And in the morning, as they passed by, THEY SAW THE FIG TREE DRIED UP FROM! THE! ROOTS!
PER VERSE 14
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
***Even though the "Time of FIGS was NOT YET" and no fruit was on the TREE...WHEN the TIME of the approach COMES even though the ASSUMED time is NOT EXPECTED for the season is NOT RIGHT...but GOD expected FRUIT, but found none...even in the off seasons, ALWAYS STRIVE FOR WE NEVER KNOW THE TIME...and be QUICK TO REPENT...WHY For I want to PLEASE MY GOD...JESUS CHRIST...when the time Cometh, so it is AS ALWAYS be READY...it is NOT a SEASONAL expectation...
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, THAT WHOSOEVER shall say unto THIS mountain, BE THOU REMOVED, and be thou cast into the sea; and SHALL NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but shall BELIEVEthat those things which HE SAITH SHALL! COME! TO! PASS!; HE SHALL HAVE WHATSOEVER HE SAITH.
PROVIDED IT IS HIS WILL, BUT IF YOU STRIVE AND DELIGHT IN THE LORD AND IN ALLLLL HIS WAYS...HE WILL GRANT YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART. WHY THIS IS SO POWERFUL WHEN YOU KNOW HIS COMMANDMENTS AND HIS WORD YOU WILL! NOT! DESIRE! ANTHING! AGAINST! HIS WILL OR WORD! ...THEREFORE IT! IS! GRANTED!
24 THEREFORE I SAY UNTO YOU, WHAT THINGS SOEVER YE DESIRE, WHEN YE PRAY, BELIEVE THEY YE RECEIVE THEM, AND YE! SHALL! HAVE! THEM!
KEY FACT...IT IS ALL THERE THE MOST POWER AND OVERCOMING OF ALL WITHIN AND WITHOUT...AND LIVING AT THE HIGHEST.
25 And when ye stand praying, FORGIVE, if ye have ought against any: that your Father ALSO which is in heaven may FORGIVE you your trespasses.
26 BUT IF ye DO NOT FORGIVE, NEITHER will your Father which is in heaven FORGIVE YOUR trespasses.
27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
28 And say unto him, By what AUTHORITY doest thou these things? and who gave thee this AUTHORITY to do these things?
29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you BY WHAT AUTHORITY I do these things.
30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
31 And they REASONED with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
He answered them that way because They could search the scriptures and find the answer and due to their fear of HIS opinion of them NOT BELIEVING HIM, and the FEAR of what type of Leaven? if you please Pharisees or of Herod...for they feared what the embarrassment or was it that they would loose power, or be found weak? WHAT Leaven ... for the Chief Priests, The Scribes, and The Elders supposedly "appear" they know the scriptures... but really what did they fear?
2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

MARK 12
And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
4AND AGAIN, he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.'
8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
Hence the Son was Jesus CHRIST...
10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
...There are others to this day EVEN AFTER JESUS DIED DONT BELIEVE THERE IS HIS RETURN...BUT EVEN BACK THEN THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THERE WOULD BE A RESURRECTION...BUT KING DAVID DID...AND MORE THE LIKE...SUCH AS LIKE MINDS AND HEARTS...
18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is NO RESURRECTION; and they asked him, saying,
19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye NOT therefore ERR, because ye know NOT the SCRIPTURES, neither the POWER of God?
25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are AS THE ANGELS which are in heaven.
26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 He is NOT the God of the dead, but the GOD OF THE LIVING: ye therefore do GREATLY ERR.
KNOW THE SCRIPTURES FOR THEY ARE LIFE and SHOW YOU WHAT TO CHOOSE SO YOU HAVE LIFE. ALSO know the SCRIPTURES because they also show you what NOT TO CHOOSE things that are DEATH.
28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, THE FIRST OF ALL THE COMMANDMENTS IS, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And THE SECOND IS LIKE, namely THIS, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. THERE IS NONE OTHER COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
The Scribe WAS indeed very close to exceeding to a much higher level, for it one is honest with themselves they will strive to get and treat them as they do the best for themselves...they find all as an heart and soul which Christ died for and do their best to follow the scriptures for ALL POWER IS IN THEM...
34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, THOU ART NOT FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
36 For David himself said by the HOLY GHOST, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
38 And he said unto them in his doctrine, BEWARE of the scribes, which LOVE to go in long clothing, and LOVE salutations in the marketplaces,
39 And THE CHIEF seats in the synagogues, and the UPPERMOST ROOMS at feasts:
40 Which DEVOUR widows' houses, and for a PRETENCE make long prayers: THESE SHALL receive GREAT DAMNATION.
41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld HOW the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
4AND AGAIN, he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.'
8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
Hence the Son was Jesus CHRIST...
10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye NOT therefore ERR, because ye know NOT the SCRIPTURES, neither the POWER of God?
25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are AS THE ANGELS which are in heaven.
26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 He is NOT the God of the dead, but the GOD OF THE LIVING: ye therefore do GREATLY ERR.

28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

31 And THE SECOND IS LIKE, namely THIS, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. THERE IS NONE OTHER COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
36 For David himself said by the HOLY GHOST, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
38 And he said unto them in his doctrine, BEWARE of the scribes, which LOVE to go in long clothing, and LOVE salutations in the marketplaces,
39 And THE CHIEF seats in the synagogues, and the UPPERMOST ROOMS at feasts:

44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

What is the Spirit of Ismael?
A spirit trying to steal Sarah's AND. Isaac's thunder of the Covenant...for Ismael mocked Isaac, and the Sarah Saw it and sent him away for Isaac's sake...A Mother's instinct knew she had to for she knew the promise would reign on Isaac...but the jealousy factor would be danger to him; Otherwise, Abraham would not have sent them away...he was the son which came by the harkening to the VOICE of Sarai...NOT the Voice of GOD...
Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram HEARKENED to the VOICE of Sarai.
3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the Lord judge between me and thee.
SARAI WAS DESPISED IN HAGAR'S EYES...
6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
BECAUSE HAGAR WAS SPITEFUL AND GLOATING TO SARAI, THE CHOSEN.
7 And the angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
9 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
10 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; BECAUSE the Lord hath HEARD thy AFFLICTION.
GOD CALLED HIM "AFFLICTION"
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
13 And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
Then Genesis 17 clearly shows that Abram never circumcised Ishmael as would have directed IF THE COVENANT was with Ishmael. Clearly it is ONLY with Isaac...because GOD DIRECTED and made evidence of the TOKEN to remember the Covenant...Also CHANGED Abram's Name to ABRAHAM and Sarai to SARAH as the DAY HAS ARRIVED...All in Genesis 17...It is clear...for Ishael was born by the VOICE of Sarai, NOT SARAH...BE YE OVERCOMERS...
It amazes me Genesis 17 is the chapter of the covenant and the fact which is clear Ishmael was not circumcised until he was 13 years old, But Isaac when he was 8 days old...and ABRAM, who now is named ABRAMHAM At 99 years hold...along with his whole house...AT THE APPOINTED TIME...
Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram HEARKENED to the VOICE of Sarai.
3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the Lord judge between me and thee.
SARAI WAS DESPISED IN HAGAR'S EYES...
6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
BECAUSE HAGAR WAS SPITEFUL AND GLOATING TO SARAI, THE CHOSEN.
7 And the angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
9 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
10 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; BECAUSE the Lord hath HEARD thy AFFLICTION.
GOD CALLED HIM "AFFLICTION"
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
13 And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
Then Genesis 17 clearly shows that Abram never circumcised Ishmael as would have directed IF THE COVENANT was with Ishmael.

BUT WHEN JESUS SAW IT ~MARK 10~ CRIED THE MORE A GREAT DEAL
And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
6 BUT FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14 BUT WHEN JESUS SAW IT, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, ONE THING THOU LACKEST: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and THOU SHALT HAVE TREASURE IN HEAVEN: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
NOTE: THE MAN ONLY LACKEST ONE THING...V21..THE EYE OF A NEEDLE IS AN OPENING OF THE GATE, THE CAMEL MUST LAY LOW LIKE ON ITS BELLY AND SCOOT ON THE OPENING OF THE GATE.
26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, THEY WERE AFRAID. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,
33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
40 BUT to sit on my right hand and on my left hand IS NOT MINE TO GIVE; but it shall be given to them for WHOM IT IS PREPARED.
41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.
42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and TO GIVE HIS LIFE FOR A RANSOM FOR MANY.
46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.
47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
48 AND MANY CHARGED HIM THAT HE SHOULD HOLD HIS PEACE: but he CRIED THE MORE A GREAT DEAL, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
NOTE: MANY CHARGED HIM THAT HE SHOULD HOLD HIS PEACE, HE WAS AN OUTCAST, ONE THAT WAS CONSIDERED LOW...BUT JESUS SEES A SOUL AND HE STANDS STILL FOR THIS MAN WITH SUCH AN HARD LIFE AND WAS ON THE STREET, BUT HE KNEW NOT TO PAY THEM NO MIND...FOR IF HE TRUSTED THE CROWD THEY WOULD LEAVE HIM BLIND...HE JUST HAD TO GET TO JESUS, WHEN YOU ARE DETERMINED NOTHING CAN STOP YOU, HAD HE NOT BEEN SO DETERMINED AND TRUSTED THE CROWD THE PUBLIC A LOSS FOR SURE....JESUS DEFIES PEER PRESSURES, CLICKS, ETC, AND STANDS STILL...HE IS ONE AND HIS NAME IS ALL THAT MATTERS..
49 And JESUS STOOD STILL, and COMMANDED HIM TO BE CALLED. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
50 And he, CASTING AWAY HIS GARMENT, rose, and came to Jesus.
NOTE: THE BLIND MANY CASTING OFF HIS GARMENT WAS A SIGN OF SHOWING THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE HEALED. THE GARMENT IN THE DAY AS IT WERE WAS LIKE A SYMBOL FOR BEING BLIND.
51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And IMMEDIATELY he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

Joshua 5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?
15 And the captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
The Angel Said NAY, which is NO to both...because the Angel was sent to TAKE Over and Orchestrate the GREAT VICTORY...and subdue the enemies that which be against them at Jericho all EXCEPT Rehab...for if you are for the Lord's people you are blessed such as so ~~~

3 And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
But Still more WAR...
4 And it came to pass AFTER THIS, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew SIPPAI, THAT WAS OF THE CHILDREN OF THE GIANT: and they were subdued.
5 And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew LAHMI the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam.
6 And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a MAN OF GREAT STATURE, WHOSE FINGERS AND TOES WERE FOUR AND TWENTY, six on each hand, and six on each foot and he ALSO was the SON of the Giant.
7 But when he defied Israel, JONATHAN the son of SHIMEA, DAVID'S BROTHER SLEW HIM.
8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and THEY FELL BY THE HAND OF DAVID, AND BY THE HAND OF HIS SERVANTS.

20 And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and WASTED THE COUNTRY of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.
2 And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.3 And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes.

QUESTIONING ONE WITH ANOTHER ~Mark 9~ HAVE SALT IN YOURSELVES
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
***THIS IS A PONDER DO TO ME..."SHALL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, TILL THEY HAVE SEEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD" FOR IT IS DEEPER THAN WHAT MEETS THE EYE
2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured BEFORE them.
3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
***EXCEEDING WHITE...THIS WHITE IS NOT OF THE EARTH BUT THAT OF THE HEAVENS...OUR GREATEST WHITE OF OUR MINDS IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THAT OF WHAT HIS HEAVENLY KINGDOM HAS IN STORE FOR US TO GO...WHO OBEY ACTS 2:38 WHICH IS THE MANIFESTATION OF JOHN 3
4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
NOW AGAIN HERE IS MOSES, AND ELIAS (ALSO KNOWN AS ELIJAH THE TISHBITE WHICH WAS GENTILE...that's for another time)
5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
This statement should be in RED...for Jesus is the ALMIGHTY... "This is my beloved Son: hear him."
8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, THEY SAW NO MAN ANY MORE, save Jesus only with themselves.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they SHOULD TELL NO man what things they had seen, TILL the Son of man were risen from the dead.
10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another WHAT THE RISING FROM THE DEAD SHOULD MEAN.
11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
12 And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
13 But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with THEM?
17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
NOW WHAT IS JESUS STRESSING HERE? FOR HE IS A GOD AND KNOWETH ALL THINGS...YET HE SPECIFICALLY ASK "HOW LONG IS AGO SINCE THIS CAME UNTO HIM?"
23 Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that believeth.
****BECAUSE JESUS SENSED THE DOUBTING ABOUT HIS MIND AND HEART...OTHERWISE HE WOULD NOT HAVE SAID...YOU KNOW...THAT WORD..."IF" HE CAN BELIEVE...AND THEN IT IS LIKE A CONFESSION FOR THE MAN KNEW IN HIS HEART WHAT GOD WAS TELLING HIM...FOR HE ASKED JESUS TO 'HELP THOU MINE UNBELIEF"***
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him PRIVATELY, Why could not we cast him out?
29 And he said unto them, THIS KIND CAN COME FORTH BY NOTHING, BUT BY PRAYER AND FASTING.
30 And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, HE SHALL RISE THE THIRD DAY .
32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
34 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
36 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
39 But Jesus said, FORBID him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
40 FOR HE THAT IS NOT AGAINST US IS ON OUR PART.
41 FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL GIVE YOU A CUP OF WATER TO DRINK IN MY NAME, because YE BELONG TO CHRIST, verily I say unto you, HE SHALL NOT LOSE HIS REWARD.
42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

***THIS IS A PONDER DO TO ME..."SHALL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, TILL THEY HAVE SEEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD" FOR IT IS DEEPER THAN WHAT MEETS THE EYE
2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured BEFORE them.
3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
***EXCEEDING WHITE...THIS WHITE IS NOT OF THE EARTH BUT THAT OF THE HEAVENS...OUR GREATEST WHITE OF OUR MINDS IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THAT OF WHAT HIS HEAVENLY KINGDOM HAS IN STORE FOR US TO GO...WHO OBEY ACTS 2:38 WHICH IS THE MANIFESTATION OF JOHN 3
4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
NOW AGAIN HERE IS MOSES, AND ELIAS (ALSO KNOWN AS ELIJAH THE TISHBITE WHICH WAS GENTILE...that's for another time)
5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
This statement should be in RED...for Jesus is the ALMIGHTY... "This is my beloved Son: hear him."
8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, THEY SAW NO MAN ANY MORE, save Jesus only with themselves.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they SHOULD TELL NO man what things they had seen, TILL the Son of man were risen from the dead.
10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another WHAT THE RISING FROM THE DEAD SHOULD MEAN.
11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
12 And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
13 But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with THEM?
17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
NOW WHAT IS JESUS STRESSING HERE? FOR HE IS A GOD AND KNOWETH ALL THINGS...YET HE SPECIFICALLY ASK "HOW LONG IS AGO SINCE THIS CAME UNTO HIM?"
23 Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that believeth.
****BECAUSE JESUS SENSED THE DOUBTING ABOUT HIS MIND AND HEART...OTHERWISE HE WOULD NOT HAVE SAID...YOU KNOW...THAT WORD..."IF" HE CAN BELIEVE...AND THEN IT IS LIKE A CONFESSION FOR THE MAN KNEW IN HIS HEART WHAT GOD WAS TELLING HIM...FOR HE ASKED JESUS TO 'HELP THOU MINE UNBELIEF"***
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him PRIVATELY, Why could not we cast him out?
29 And he said unto them, THIS KIND CAN COME FORTH BY NOTHING, BUT BY PRAYER AND FASTING.
30 And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, HE SHALL RISE THE THIRD DAY .
32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
34 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
36 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
39 But Jesus said, FORBID him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
40 FOR HE THAT IS NOT AGAINST US IS ON OUR PART.
41 FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL GIVE YOU A CUP OF WATER TO DRINK IN MY NAME, because YE BELONG TO CHRIST, verily I say unto you, HE SHALL NOT LOSE HIS REWARD.
42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

BEGAN TO QUESTION ~Mark 8~ OF MY WORDS ~ {writ in red}
In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because THEY HAVE NOW BEEN WITH ME THREE DAYS, and HAVE NOTHING TO EAT:
***A 3 DAY FAST INDIRECTLY...INDEED THEY ARE HONORED
3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
***JESUS AGAIN IGNORS THEIR REASONING...AND JUST SAYS "HOW MANY LOAVES HAVE YE?"
6 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and GAVE THANKS, and BRAKE, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
8 SO THEY DID EAT, AND WERE FILLED: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
NOTE: The first time they took up 12 baskets and this time they took up 7 baskets...just something to know
9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
10 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, TEMPTING him.
12 And HE SIGHED DEEPLY IN HIS SPIRIT, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
***Jesus Sighs THE ALMIGHTY actually sighs for they were blind EVEN THOUGHT THEY SUPPOSEDLY KNEW the scriptures and knew NOT HE WAS the MESSIAH...so He leaves after that statement due to the sigh...and departed...
13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
17 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye NOT remember?
19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
NOW WHY DOES JESUS ASK THIS TESTING FAITH AND REVELATION FROM THE HEAVENLY FATHER GIVEN TO MAN
28 And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
NOW HERE IS PETER TAKING JESUS AND REBUKING THE ALMIGHTY GOD??? IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS IF YOU ASK ME...
33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou SAVOUREST NOT THE THINGS THAT BE OF GOD, BUT THE THINGS THAT BE OF MEN.
34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and OF MY WORDS in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him ALSO SHALL the Son of man be ashamed, WHEN he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because THEY HAVE NOW BEEN WITH ME THREE DAYS, and HAVE NOTHING TO EAT:
