3Being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He was reclining at a meal, a woman came having an alabaster vase of very costly perfume of pure nard. Then she broke the vase and began to pour it over His head.

42Get up, let’s be going. See, my betrayer has approached."There may have been pauses between the statements.

72And for the second time a rooster crowed. Then Peter rememberedBut only after the Lord looked at him and broke the spell (Luke 22:61). the word that Jesus had said to him, "Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." He broke down and started to cry.

13came to me, and standing by me said, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ And at that very moment I looked up at him.

16And now, why hesitate? Get up, be baptized and wash away your sins, invoking the name of the Lord.’By invoking the Lord he was placing himself under His direction and protection, which was what took care of his sins, not the baptism. There probably was not enough water in the house for a complete bath, in any case, so the baptism was by aspersion (as it was in the house of Cornelius, the house of the Philippian jailor, etc. etc.). Instead of ‘of the Lord’, some 6% of the Greek manuscripts read ‘his’ (as in NIV, NASB, TEV, etc.).

19So I said: ‘Lord, they know that I used to imprison and beat those believing into you,I follow the best line of transmission in reading "into", albeit with only 20% of the Greek manuscripts here. Almost all versions follow the 80% in reading ‘upon’. from one synagogue to another;

29Because indeed, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, even the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’For Jews to say this, things would have to get really bad.

35Meanwhile the people stood looking on. And especially the rulers among them were sneering, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself, if such is the Christ, the chosen of God!"

50Now then, there was a man named Joseph, a good and righteous man, a Council member

15"Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.Probably demonized; demonic prophecies are always destructive.

22Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and cast out demons in Your name, and perform many mighty works in Your name?’

27and the rain fell, and the rivers rose, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall!"Here again, we have to do the words. Note that both houses had to face the same circumstances, but the verbs are different. Everyone faces adversity in this life—your foundation determines the outcome. Why do the adverse circumstances ‘attack’ one house, but only ‘beat on’ the other? The verb ‘attack’ implies an intelligence ordering the circumstances.

6Well when the chief priests and the operatives saw Him they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify him!" Pilate says to them, "You take and crucify him, because I find no crime in him."This is the second time that Pilate declares that he finds no crime in Jesus. He is declaring His innocence, so he will knowingly condemn an innocent man.

16So then he handed Him over to them to be crucified.So they took Jesus and lead Him away.

28After this, knowing that everything was now accomplished so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus says, "I’m thirsty!"

1Once again He began to teach beside the sea. And a large crowd was gathered to Him, so that He got into the boat and sat down, out on the water, while the whole crowd was on the land, at the water’s edge.

17but since they have no root in themselves they are temporary—when oppression or persecution comes because of the Word, they quickly fall away.Note that with both the stones and the thorns, the seed did germinate; there was life.

40And He said to them: "Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?"Jesus is evidently saying that they should not have been afraid, and that they themselves could have solved the problem—if they had the faith. I imagine that the Lord would say something similar to us, when we fail to respond appropriately to difficult circumstances that take us by surprise.

2he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" So they said to him, "But we have not so much as heard that there is a Holy Spirit!"

3So he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" So they said, "Into John’s baptism."Perhaps they were the result of some of Apollos' early ministry. Paul evidently sensed that there was something lacking in them.

34But when they realized he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison for about two hours,How could their voices last for two hours? And what animated them to keep on going for so long? I suspect there was a little demonic participation. "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"

13But He said to them, "You feed them!"Please, with what?! The only way the disciples could have obeyed this command would be by a miracle similar to what Jesus proceeded to perform. But they were not up to it. Are we? So they said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd"

20Then He said to them, "But you, who do you say that I am?" In answer Peter said, "The ChristSince they were speaking Hebrew, he said ‘Messiah’. of God!"

43Everyone was amazed at the majestyWhy ‘the majesty’? I don’t know. of God.But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,

6So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God joined together let not man separate!"

18He says to Him, "Which ones?"Did he think that some were not necessary? So Jesus said: " ‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not give false witness,’

20The young man says to Him: "I have kept all these things since my youth."Since my youth" is omitted by 1% of the Greek manuscripts, of objectively inferior quality (as in NIV, NASB, LB, TEV, etc.). What do I still lack?"

5Then Jesus says to them, "Boys, you don’t have any food, do you?" They answered Him, "No."You can bet they are not feeling like making small talk.

12Jesus says to them, "Come have breakfast!" Well not one of the disciples dared to ask Him, "Who are you?"—knowing that it was the Lord.

16He says to him again, a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?"Notice that He omits ‘more than these’, so the question has been weakened. He says to Him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I’m fond of you." He says to him, "Shepherd my sheep."

4While it remained unsold was it not yours, and once sold was it not in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You did not lie to men but to God."As the context makes clear, the problem was that Ananias lied. He wanted the credit for doing like the others, but he was hedging his bet. If he had honestly stated that it was only a part, he would have lived on. He evidently figured it was only a little ‘white’ lie that would not do anybody any harm (no victim)—it did not occur to him that he was really challenging God.

10So she immediately fell down at his feet and expired! So upon entering the young men found her dead, and carrying her out they buried her beside her husband.There are times when ‘togetherness’ is not all that good an idea.

28saying: "Did we not emphatically command you not to teach in this name? Just look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood on us!"Those very men had said, "His blood be upon us, and upon our children!" But of course, a good memory is not always convenient. However, in this case the priest was just being perverse. Well, actually, having committed the unpardonable sin he was under satanic control.

2where He was tested for forty days by the devil.We are not told just how Satan did this. He ate nothing at all during those days, so after they were completed He was hungry.This episode was ordained by the Holy Spirit. Jesus had to confront Satan when He was physically the weakest He would ever be (40 days without food!). When Satan failed to defeat this weakened Jesus, he was probably filled with despair—he now knew that he could never defeat Him (but he would still try to kill Him). Hebrews 2:18 and 4:15-16 give at least part of the reason why Jesus had to undergo this experience.

34saying: "Ugh! What do you want with us, Jesus of Natsareth? Did you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God!"Evidently the Lord’s mere presence was enough to make the demons feel threatened. Based on John 14:12, I wonder if the same thing should not be true of us.

39So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she got up and began to serve them.Normally a high fever leaves one weak, so the Lord reversed the consequences of the fever as well. I take it that Matthew 8:14-15 records a different occasion. Just because God heals you once does not mean you will not get sick again.

7And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of the heavens has come near.’

8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons.Some 94% of the Greek manuscripts do not have "raise the dead". KJV, NKJV, NIV, NASB, LB, TEV, etc. (most versions in English) follow 6%. You have received free of charge, give free of charge.What would happen if the Church started following this instruction?

22And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake;This is already happening in North America and elsewhere. Anyone who stands up for Biblical values—speaks out against homosexualism, for instance—is ridiculed, and more physical forms of persecution have already started. but the one enduring to the end, he will be delivered.

13And they say to her, "Woman, why are you crying?" She says to them, "Because they removed my Lord, and I don’t know where they put Him."

16Jesus says to her, "Mary!" Turning she says to Him, "Raboni!" (which means ‘Teacher’).

29Jesus says to him: "Because you have observed me, you have believed. Blessed are those who believe without seeing!"This blessing includes us.

36The word that He sent to the sons‘Sons’ is often translated ‘children’ when referring to the descendants of Jacob—Peter is referring to the current generation, the one that received the revelation of ‘Jesus Christ’. of Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—

37that spoken word you know, that was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached:As soon as John was put in prison, which was the end of his preaching and baptizing, Jesus moved out of Judea into Galilee—He spent over a year there before returning to Judea. Peter is assuming that Cornelius would have followed the career of Jesus with interest. He gives a very brief, almost disjointed, review of some salient points.

46in that they heard them speaking languagesThe term often rendered ‘tongue’ is the ordinary word for ‘language’—these were presumably real languages, though unknown to the hearers (and speakers). What happened here went against the Jews' worldview. and magnifying God. Then Peter responded:

25"So that’s what the Lord has done for me in the daysA pregnancy involves a fair number of days, and divine intervention was necessary all the time to enable her to carry the baby to term. when He concerned Himself to take away my reproach among the people!"At that time people looked down on a married woman who had no children.

48in that He paid attentionto the humble station of His slave (f).Yes indeed, because from now onall generations will declare me to be highly favored,So it has been for 2000 years; in every generation there have been those who called her ‘blessed’.

70—just as He spoke through the mouth of His holy prophets from antiquity—

9Therefore, you pray like this:‘Our Father who is in the heavens,let Your name be reverenced;

13And do not bring us into testing,but rescue us from the evil one;The Father can rescue us from the evil one because He is far greater.because Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’About 1% of the Greek manuscripts, of objectively inferior quality, omit the last clause (as in NIV, [NASB], LB, TEV, etc.).

30Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which exists today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, you little-faiths?

3So when the wine had given out, Jesus' mother says to Him, "They don’t have any wine!"

9Well, when the master of ceremonies tasted the waterWine has color and smell, as well as flavor—I wonder at what point the water took on those characteristics. Perhaps it was only as the servant handed the goblet to the master, so that the servants had drawn and carried ‘water’; they obeyed what seemed to them to be a strange order. that had become wine—he did not know where it came from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew—he calls the bridegroom

10and says to him: "Everybody serves the good wine first, then, when people are intoxicated, the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!"

18Well, upon observing that the Holy‘Holy’ is omitted by two (2) manuscripts (against over 600), to be followed by NIV, NASB, TEV, etc. Those two are ancient, but of objectively inferior quality. Spirit was given through the laying on of the Apostles' hands, Simon offered them money

27So he got up and went; and there, a man, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court-official of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury, who had come worshiping to JerusalemSo how did this man know about Jehovah, and why had he learned to read Hebrew (unless he was reading a Greek translation)? Although nearly a millennium had intervened, this could be a result of the Queen of Sheba’s visit to Solomon.

33In His humiliation His justice was removed,and who will recount His generation?Because His life is removed from the earth."See Isaiah 53:7-8.

4the baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men?"

13Then the owner of the vineyard said: ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; hopefully they will respect him when they see him.’Presumably this would never occur in real life, but the Lord was aiming this directly at them, knowing what they would do to Him and what the Owner would do to them.

43until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’See Psalm 110:1.
