GOD’S WORD FOR YOU LUKE 18:35-39 Blind Bartimaeus 35 As Jesus approached Jericho, Matthew says that Jesus was “leaving Jericho” (Καὶ ἐκπορευομένων αὐτῶν ἀπὸ ᾽Ιεριχὼ, Matt. 20:29).

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU LUKE 18:28-30 28 Peter said, “Look, we have left our possessions and followed you.” This is one of those moments when Jesus’ disciples (in this case, Peter, perhaps speaking what many if not all of them were thinking) asked a question that stepped backward into worldliness. It’s a very human question, […]

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU LUKE 18:26-27 26 Those who heard this said, “Then who can be saved?” 27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible for people is possible for God.” The disciples are responding to what they’ve seen.

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU LUKE 18:24-25 24 Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God! 25 For 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.” […]

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU LUKE 18:20 20 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; Honor your father and mother.’” Why does Jesus quote the Ten Commandments? Why doesn’t he get the wording exactly right? Why doesn’t he quote them […]
