Matthew 18:1-5 - At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
The New Testament - A Brief Overview
Map of the Region of Galilee where Jesus Christ Ministered
Jesus Ministers in Galilee
Jesus ministered in the region of Galilee in all the cities around Upper and Lower Galilee and also the Sea of Galilee. He taught the multitudes, fed the multitudes, performed many miracles, and he even healed the sick. Jesus devoted himself and loved the people of Israel, and especially Galilee and the surrounding region. He also journeyed to Tyre and Sidon, and also over to Caesarea Philippi with his disciples and revealed who he was, and that he would die, be buried, and that he would rise from the dead. He said that he would build his "church" and the gates of Hades would not prevail against it."All the leading events recorded of Jesus' life are given at the end of this volume in the Chronological Chart and in the Chronological Table of the life of Christ; so that here will be given only a general survey. Jesus began to enter upon his ministry when he was "about thirty years old;" that is, he was not very far from thirty, older or younger. He is regarded as nearly thirty-one by Andrews (in the tables of chronology referred to above) and by most others. Having been baptized by John early in the winter of 26-27, he spent the larger portion of his year in Judea and about the lower Jordan, till in December he went northward to Galilee through Samaria. The next year and a half, from December, A.D. 27, to October or November, A.D. 29, was spent in Galilee and northern Israel, chiefly in the vicinity of the Sea of Galilee." - Smith
Matthew 13:1-17
1 -
The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
2 -
And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a
ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 -
And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went
forth to sow;
4 -
And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and
devoured them up:
5 -
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they
sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6 -
And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they
withered away.
7 -
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
8 -
But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold,
some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9 -
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 -
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in
parables?
11 -
He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 -
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but
whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13 -
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing
they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 -
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye
shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not
perceive:
15 -
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing,
and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their]
eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and
should be converted, and I should heal them.
16 -
But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17 -
For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired
to see [those things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [those
things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them].
Matthew 15:21-39
21 -
Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 -
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him,
saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [thou] Son of David; my daughter is grievously
vexed with a devil.
23 -
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying,
Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 -
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of
Israel.
25 -
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 -
But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to
cast [it] to dogs.
27 -
And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their
masters' table.
28 -
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great [is] thy faith: be it unto
thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
29 -
And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went
up into a mountain, and sat down there.
30 -
And great multitudes came unto him, having with them [those that were] lame,
blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he
healed them:
31 -
Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the
maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified
the God of Israel.
32 -
Then Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and said, I have compassion on the
multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to
eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
33 -
And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the
wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
34 -
And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a
few little fishes.
35 -
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36 -
And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake [them],
and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37 -
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat]
that was left seven baskets full.
38 -
And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
39 -
And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of
Magdala.
