The Surly Curmudgeon

    Jesus proclaims Himself LORD of the Sabbath in response to the Pharisees accusing Him of unlawful sabbath activities.

    Jesus reiterates that the Gospel causes deadly divisions even within families. He also speaks of heavenly rewards gained by supporting earthly ministry.

    Having warned his apostles about coming persecution, Jesus now gives encouragement and direction for how they can work through persecution.

    Having examined the instructions Jesus gave before sending out His apostles, we now turn to His warnings to them.

    Having examined Matthew’s listing of the twelve apostles we now turn our attention to Jesus sending them forth.

    We examine Matthews listing of the twelve apostles in comparison with the lists found in the other gospel accounts and in Acts.
