Jesus Page #2

You'll also say to Me, Do the

things in Your own home town

that we heard were done in Capernaum.

I tell you this.

No prophet is ever welcome in his hometown.

They meant to throw Him over the cliff.

But He walked through the

crowd and went His way.

And Jesus came to Capernaum,

a city of Galilee.

The Roman occupation of the nation

was in evidence everywhere.

And the people longed for

the Messiah to come,

to free them from the tyranny.

Peace be with you.

And You, Master.

Will your boat bear Me, Simon?

Why not?

He's not going to leave, is He?

Speak to us. Jesus, speak to us.

Once there were two men who

went up to the temple to pray.

One was a Pharisee.

The other was a tax collector.

The Pharisee stood apart

by himself and prayed,

I thank You, God, that I am not

greedy or dishonest or an

adulterer like everybody else.

I thank You that I am not like

that tax collector over there.

I fast twice a week, and I give

You one tenth of all my income.

But the tax collector stood at a distance

and would not even raise

his face to heaven.

But beat upon his breast and said,

God, have pity on me, a sinner.

I tell you, the tax collector,

not the pharisee

was in the right with God

when he went home.

For the man who exalts

himself will be humbled,

and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

Push the boat out further

to the deep water.

Then you and your partners

let down your nets for a catch.

Oh, Master, we worked hard all

night long, and caught nothing.

But if You say so, I'll let down the nets.

James.. John..

James.. John.. Get your boat over

here and give us some help. Hurry..

We can't, we've got our hands full.

Go away from me, Lord.

I am a sinful man.

Don't be afraid.

From now on you will be catching men.

Come to Me and listen to My words,

hear Me, and you shall have life.

Seek the Lord while He may be found

call on Him while He is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way,

and the unrighteous man his thoughts

And let him return to the Lord

and He will have compassion on him.

For He will abundantly pardon.

You shall go out with joy

and be led forth with peace.

He's coming. He's here. Look..

Jesus. Jesus.

I beg you to save my only daughter.

She's only 12 years old, and dying.

Please come with me.

Jairus, I'm sorry.

Your daughter has died.

Don't bother the Teacher any longer.

Don't be afraid.

Only believe and she will be well.

Do not weep.

She's not dead, but only sleeping.

Child,

Arise.

Give her something to eat.

I charge you, tell no one

what has happened here.

And after this, He saw a tax

collector named Matthew Levi,

sitting at the toll gate

for the receipt of the customs.

Follow me.

And Jesus went up to the hill to pray,

and spent the whole night

there praying to God.

And when day came, He greeted the

12 of them whom He named apostles.

Simon, whom He also named Peter,

and Andrew, his brother,

James,

and John,

Philip,

and Bartholomew,

and Matthew,

and Thomas,

James, the son of Alphaeus,

and Simon called Zealotes,

and Judas, the brother of James,

and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor.

Blessed are you who are poor,

for yours is the kingdom of God.

Blessed are you who hunger now,

for you shall be filled.

Blessed are you who weep now,

for you shall laugh.

Blessed are you when men hate you

and reject you and insult you

and say you are evil, all

because of the Son of Man.

Be glad when that happens,

and dance for joy,

because a great reward is

kept for you in Heaven.

For their ancestors did the

same thing to the prophets.

...18, 19,

20. That's all I've got.

What do you mean that's all you've got?

How terrible for you who are rich now.

You have had your easy life.

He doesn't want to be rich.

He must be mad.

How terrible for you who laugh now,

for you shall mourn and weep.

How terrible when all men

speak well of you.

For their ancestors said the very

same things about the false prophets.

But I tell you who hear Me,

love your enemies.

Do good to those who hate you.

Bless those who curse you.

And pray for people who mistreat you.

If anyone hits you on one cheek,

let him hit the other one also.

And if someone takes away your coat,

let him have your shirt as well.

Give to everyone who begs from you.

And if someone takes what is yours,

do not ask for it back again.

Do for others only what

you would have others do for you.

If you love only the people who love you,

why should you receive a blessing?

For even sinners love those who love them.

And if you do good to

those who do good to you,

why should you receive a blessing?

Even sinners do that.

How could He touch her?

How could He talk to her?

Disgusting.

No. Love your enemies,

and do good to them.

And lend expecting nothing back.

And then you will have a great reward.

For you will be sons of the Most High God.

For He is good to the ungrateful

and to the wicked.

Be merciful, just as

your Father is merciful.

Save us, Jesus.

Judge not, and you will not be judged.

Condemn not, and you will not be condemned.

Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Give, and it will be given to you.

For the measure you give

will be the measure you get back.

Lead us in Thy path, O Lord.

One blind man cannot lead another.

If he does, they both

will fall into a ditch.

Why do you see the speck

that is in your brother's eye

but pay no attention to

the log in your own eye?

Guide us, Oh Master.

We need You now, Lord.

How happy is the mother who

bore You and nursed You.

Rather how happy are those who

hear the word of God, and obey it.

I would like to know this Man.

Do you think He might be, the Messiah?

This pharisee invited Jesus

to have dinner with him.

And Jesus went to his

house and sat down to eat.

Come along children, off you go.

You heard me. Go.

They get by with all the mischief they can.

What is she doing here?

I don't know.

If this Man really were a prophet,

He would know who this woman is

who is touching Him.

He would know what kind

of sinful life she lives.

I know who this woman is, Simon.

Let Me tell you something.

There were two men who owed

money to a moneylender.

One owed him 500 silver coins,

and the other owed 50.

Neither of them could pay him back,

So he cancelled the debts of both.

Which one then will love him more?

I suppose that it would be

the one who was forgiven more.

You are right.

Do you see this woman?

I came into your home.

You gave Me no water for My feet,

yet she has washed My feet with her tears,

and dried them with her hair.

You did not welcome Me with a kiss.

But since I came she has not

stopped kissing My feet.

You provided no olive oil for My head.

Yet she has anointed My feet with perfume.

I tell you then,

The great love she has shown

proves that her many sins are forgiven.

But whoever is forgiven little,

shows only a little love.

Your sins are forgiven you.

Your faith has saved you.

Go in peace.
