✞The Life of Christ ✞
Jesus Preaches In The Countryside Of Judea
John 3:22 - 24
After these things came Jesus and
his disciples into the land of Judea;
and there he tarried with them, and
baptized. And John also was
baptizing in Enon near to Salim,
because there was much water
there: and they came, and were
baptized. For John was not yet cast
into prison.
(John 3:22-24 ASV)
John’s Testimony Regarding Jesus
John 3:25 - 36
There arose therefore a questioning
on the part of John's disciples with a
Jew about purifying. And they came
unto John, and said to him, Rabbi, he
that was with thee beyond the Jordan,
to whom thou hast borne witness,
behold, the same baptizeth, and all
men come to him. John answered and
said, A man can receive nothing,
except it have been given him from
heaven.
Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said,
I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent
before him. He that hath the bride is the
bridegroom: but the friend of the
bridegroom, that standeth and heareth
him, rejoiceth greatly because of the
bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is
made full. He must increase, but I must
decrease. He that cometh from above is
above all: he that is of the earth is of the
earth, and of the earth he speaketh: he
that cometh from heaven is above all. What
he hath seen and heard, of that he beareth
witness; and no man receiveth his witness.
He that hath received his witness
hath set his seal to this, that God is
true. For he whom God hath sent
speaketh the words of God: for he
giveth not the Spirit by measure.
The Father loveth the Son, and hath
given all things into his hand. He
that believeth on the Son hath
eternal life; but he that obeyeth not
the Son shall not see life, but the
wrath of God abideth on him.
(John 3:25-36 ASV)
John declared that to have eternal life
one must believe on God’s Son. He
who does not obey Him shall not see
life, but shall have the wrath of God
abiding on him. Jn. 3:36
John Rebukes Herod Antipas And Is Put In Prison
Matt. 14:1 - 5, Mark 6:17 - 20, Luke 3:18 -20
At that season Herod the tetrarch heard the
report concerning Jesus, and said unto his
servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen
from the dead; and therefore do these powers
work in him. For Herod had laid hold on John,
and bound him, and put him in prison for the
sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. For
John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to
have her. And when he would have put him to
death, he feared the multitude, because they
counted him as a prophet. (Matt. 14:1-5 ASV)
Jesus’ Reason For Leaving Judea
Matt. 4:12, Mark 1:14, Luke 4:14,
John 4:1 - 4
Now after John was delivered
up, Jesus came into Galilee,
preaching the gospel of God,
(Mark 1:14 ASV)
Upon hearing of John’s imprisonment
Jesus and His disciples left Judea and
went into Galilee. Matt. 4:13
Now when Jesus heard it, he
withdrew from thence in a
boat, to a desert place apart:
and when the multitudes
heard thereof, they followed
him on foot from the cities.
(Matthew 14:13 ASV)
When Jesus became aware that the Pharisees
knew He was making and baptizing more
disciples than John (had been), He left Judea
and went again into Galilee. Jn. 4:1, 3
Jesus’ disciples, not He, did the actual
baptizing. Jn. 4:2
When therefore the Lord knew that the
Pharisees had heard that Jesus was
making and baptizing more disciples than
John (although Jesus himself baptized
not, but his disciples), he left Judea, and
departed again into Galilee.
(John 4:1-3 ASV)
On the way from Judea to Galilee
Jesus and His disciples passed through
Samaria. Jn. 4:4
And he must
needs pass
through
Samaria.
(John 4:4)
Samaria was between Judea and Galilee.
The direct and usual way was to pass
through Samaria. (Barnes Notes)
Jesus And The Samaritan Woman
John 4:4 - 42
so he cometh to a city of Samaria,
called Sychar, near to the parcel of
ground that Jacob gave to his son
Joseph: and Jacob's well was there.
Jesus therefore, being wearied with
his journey, sat thus by the well. It
was about the sixth hour. There
cometh a woman of Samaria to draw
water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me
to drink. For his disciples were gone
away into the city to buy food.
The Samaritan woman therefore saith
unto him, How is it that thou, being a
Jew, askest drink of me, who am a
Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no
dealings
with
Samaritans.)
Jesus
answered and said unto unto her, If thou
knewest the gift of God, and who it is
that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou
wouldest have asked of him, and he
would have given thee living water. The
woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast
nothing to draw with, and the well is
deep: whence then hast thou that living
water?
Art thou greater than our father Jacob,
who gave us the well, and drank thereof
himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
Jesus answered and said unto her, Every
one that drinketh of this water shall thirst
again: but whosoever drinketh of the
water that I shall give him shall never
thirst; but the water that I shall give him
shall become in him a well of water
springing up unto eternal life. The woman
saith unto him, Sir, give me this water,
that I thirst not, neither come all the way
hither to draw. Jesus saith unto her, Go,
call thy husband, and come hither.
The woman answered and said unto him,
I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her,
Thou saidst well, I have no husband: for
thou hast had five husbands; and he
whom thou now hast is not thy husband:
this hast thou said truly. The woman
saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou
art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in
this mountain; and ye say, that in
Jerusalem is the place where men ought
to worship. Jesus saith unto her, Woman,
believe me, the hour cometh, when
neither in this mountain, nor in
Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
Ye worship that which ye know not: we
worship that which we know; for
salvation is from the Jews. But the hour
cometh, and now is, when the true
worshippers shall worship the Father in
spirit and truth: for such doth the Father
seek to be his worshippers. God is a
Spirit: and they that worship him must
worship in spirit and truth. The woman
saith unto him, I know that Messiah
cometh (he that is called Christ): when
he is come, he will declare unto us all
things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak
unto thee am he.
And upon this came his disciples; and
they marvelled that he was speaking with
a woman; yet no man said, What seekest
thou? or, Why speakest thou with her? So
the woman left her waterpot, and went
away into the city, and saith to the
people, Come, see a man, who told me
all things that ever I did: can this be the
Christ? They went out of the city, and
were coming to him. In the mean while
the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi,
eat. But he said unto them, I have meat
to eat that ye know not.
The disciples therefore said one to
another, Hath any man brought him
aught to eat? Jesus saith unto them, My
meat is to do the will of him that sent
me, and to accomplish his work. say not
ye, There are yet four months, and then
cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto
you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the
fields, that they are white already unto
harvest. He that reapeth receiveth
wages, and gathereth fruit unto life
eternal; that he that soweth and he that
reapeth may rejoice together.
For herein is the saying true, One
soweth, and another reapeth. I sent
you to reap that whereon ye have
not labored: others have labored,
and ye are entered into their labor.
And from that city many of the
Samaritans believed on him because
of the word of the woman, who
testified, He told me all things that
ever I did. So when the Samaritans
came unto him, they besought him
to abide with them: and he abode
there two days.
And many more believed
because of his word; and
they said to the woman,
Now we believe, not because
of thy speaking: for we have
heard for ourselves, and
know that this is indeed the
Saviour of the world.
(John 4:5-42 ASV)
The Great
Galilean
Ministry
Jesus Arrives In Galilee
Matt. 4:12 - 17, Mark 1:14 - 15,
Luke 4:14 - 15, John 4:43 -45
Now when Jesus had heard that
John was cast into prison, he
departed into Galilee; And leaving
Nazareth, he came and dwelt in
Capernaum, which is upon the sea
coast, in the borders of Zabulon
and Nephthalim: That it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias
the prophet, saying,
The land of Zabulon, and the land of
Nephthalim, by the way of the sea,
beyond Jordan, Galilee of the
Gentiles; The people which sat in
darkness saw great light; and to
them which sat in the region and
shadow of death light is sprung up.
From that time Jesus began to
preach, and to say, Repent: for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand.
(Matt 4:12-17 KJV)
The Healing Of The Nobleman’s Son John 4:46 - 54
He came therefore again unto Cana of
Galilee, where he made the water wine.
And there was a certain nobleman,
whose son was sick at Capernaum. When
he heard that Jesus was come out of
Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him,
and besought him that he would come
down, and heal his son; for he was at the
point of death. Jesus therefore said unto
him, Except ye see signs and wonders,
ye will in no wise believe. The nobleman
saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my
child die. Jesus saith unto him,
Go thy way; thy son liveth. The
man believed the word that Jesus
spake unto him, and he went his
way. And as he was now going
down, his servants met him, saying,
that his son lived. So he inquired of
them the hour when he began to
amend. They said therefore unto
him, Yesterday at the seventh hour
the fever left him.
So the father knew that it was
at that hour in which Jesus said
unto him, Thy son liveth: and
himself believed, and his whole
house. This is again the second
sign that Jesus did, having come
out of Judaea into Galilee.
(John 4:46-54 ASV)
The First Rejection At Nazareth Luke 4:16 -30
And he came to Nazareth, where he
had been brought up: and he
entered, as his custom was, into the
synagogue on the sabbath day, and
stood up to read. And there was
delivered unto him the book of the
prophet Isaiah. And he opened the
book, and found the place where it
was written, The Spirit of the Lord is
upon me, Because he anointed me
to preach good tidings to the poor:
He hath sent me to proclaim release
to the captives, And recovering of
sight to the blind, To set at liberty
them that are bruised, To proclaim
the acceptable year of the Lord. And
he closed the book, and gave it
back to the attendant, and sat
down: and the eyes of all in the
synagogue were fastened on him.
And he began to say unto them, Today hath this scripture been fulfilled
in your ears.
And all bare him witness, and
wondered at the words of grace
which proceeded out of his mouth:
and they said, Is not this Joseph's
son? And he said unto them,
Doubtless ye will say unto me this
parable, Physician, heal thyself:
whatsoever we have heard done at
Capernaum, do also here in thine
own country. And he said, Verily I
say unto you, No prophet is
acceptable in his own country.
But of a truth I say unto you, There
were many widows in Israel in the
days of Elijah, when the heaven was
shut up three years and six months,
when there came a great famine over
all the land; and unto none of them
was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath,
in the land of Sidon, unto a woman
that was a widow. And there were
many lepers in Israel in the time of
Elisha the prophet; and none of them
was cleansed, but only Naaman the
Syrian.
And they were all filled with wrath
in the synagogue, as they heard
these things; and they rose up, and
cast him forth out of the city, and
led him unto the brow of the hill
whereon their city was built, that
they might throw him down
headlong. But he passing through
the midst of them went his way.
(Luke 4:16-30 ASV)
Jesus Moves To Capernaum Matt. 4:13 - 16
…and leaving Nazareth, he came and
dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea,
in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali:
that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken through Isaiah the prophet,
saying, The land of Zebulun and the land
of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the
Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, The
people that sat in darkness saw a great
light, And to them that sat in the region
and shadow of death, To them did light
spring up. (Matthew 4:13-16 ASV)
Jesus Calls Four Disciples To Follow Him
Mark 1:16 -20, Matt. 4:18 - 22, Luke 5:1 -11
And passing along by the sea of
Galilee, he saw Simon and
Andrew the brother of Simon
casting a net in the sea; for they
were fishers. And Jesus said unto
them, Come ye after me, and I
will make you to become fishers
of men. And straightway they left
the nets, and followed him.
And going on a little further, he
saw James the son of Zebedee,
and John his brother, who also
were in the boat mending the
nets. And straightway he called
them: and they left their father
Zebedee in the boat with the hired
servants, and went after him.
(Mark 1:16-20 ASV)
Jesus Teaches In The Synagogue
And Heals A Demoniac
Mark 1:21 - 28, Luke 4:31 - 37
And they went into Capernaum; and
straightway on the sabbath day he
entered into the synagogue, and taught.
And they were astonished at his
doctrine: for he taught them as one that
had authority, and not as the scribes.
And there was in their synagogue a man
with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to
do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth?
art thou come to destroy us? I know thee
who thou art, the Holy One of God. And
Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy
peace, and come out of him. And when the
unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with
a loud voice, he came out of him. And
they were all amazed, insomuch that they
questioned among themselves, saying,
What thing is this? what new doctrine is
this? for with authority commandeth he
even the unclean spirits, and they do obey
him. And immediately his fame spread
abroad throughout all the region round
about Galilee. (Mark 1:21-28 KJV)
Jesus Heals Peter’s Mother-in law
Mark 1:29 - 34, Matt. 8:14 - 17, Luke 4:38 -41
And forthwith, when they were
come out of the synagogue, they
entered into the house of Simon and
Andrew, with James and John. But
Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a
fever, and anon they tell him of her.
And he came and took her by the
hand, and lifted her up; and
immediately the fever left her, and
she ministered unto them.
And at even, when the sun did
set, they brought unto him all
that were diseased, and them
that were possessed with devils.
And all the city was gathered
together at the door. And he
healed many that were sick of
divers diseases, and cast out
many devils; and suffered not
the devils to speak, because
they knew him.
(Mark 1:29-34 KJV)
Jesus Tours Galilee, Preaching And Healing
Mark 1:35 - 39, Matt. 4:23 - 25, Luke 4:42 - 44
And in the morning, rising up a great
while before day, he went out, and
departed into a solitary place, and there
prayed. And Simon and they that were
with him followed after him. And when
they had found him, they said unto him,
All men seek for thee. And he said unto
them, Let us go into the next towns, that
I may preach there also: for therefore
came I forth. And he preached in their
synagogues throughout all Galilee, and
cast out devils. (Mark 1:35-39 KJV)
And Jesus went about all Galilee,
teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching
the
gospel
of
the
kingdom, and healing all manner of
sickness and all manner of disease
among the people. And his fame
went throughout all Syria: and they
brought unto him all sick people
that were taken with divers diseases
and torments, and those which were
possessed with devils, and those
which were lunatick,
…and those that had the palsy;
and he healed them. And there
followed him great multitudes
of people from Galilee, and
from Decapolis, and from
Jerusalem, and from Judaea,
and from beyond Jordan.
(Matthew 4:23-25 KJV)
And when it was day, he
departed and went into a
desert place: and the people
sought him, and came unto
him, and stayed him, that he
should not depart from them.
And he said unto them, I must
preach the kingdom of God to
other cities also: for therefore
am I sent. And he preached in
the synagogues of Galilee.
(Luke 4:42-44 KJV)
Healing A Leper Mark 1:40 - 45,
Matt. 8:2 - 4, Luke 5:12 -16
And there came a leper to him,
beseeching him, and kneeling down to
him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt,
thou canst make me clean. And Jesus,
moved with compassion, put forth his
hand, and touched him, and saith unto
him, I will; be thou clean. And as soon
as he had spoken, immediately the
leprosy departed from him, and he was
cleansed. And he straitly charged him,
and forthwith sent him away; And saith
unto him,
See thou say nothing to any man: but go
thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and
offer for thy cleansing those things which
Moses commanded, for a testimony unto
them. But he went out, and began to
publish it much, and to blaze abroad the
matter, insomuch that Jesus could no
more openly enter into the city, but was
without in desert places: and they came
to him from every quarter.
(Mark 1:40-45 KJV)
And he withdrew himself into the
wilderness, and prayed. (Luke 5:16 KJV)
Jesus Heals A Paralytic In Capernaum
Mark 2:1 -12, Matt. 9:2 - 8, Luke 5:17 - 26
And again he entered into Capernaum
after some days; and it was noised that
he was in the house. And straightway
many were gathered together, insomuch
that there was no room to receive them,
no, not so much as about the door: and
he preached the word unto them. And
they come unto him, bringing one sick of
the palsy, which was borne of four. And
when they could not come nigh unto him
for the press, they uncovered the roof
where he was:
…and when they had broken it up,
they let down the bed wherein the
sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw
their faith, he said unto the sick of
the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven
thee. But there were certain of the
scribes sitting there, and reasoning in
their hearts, Why doth this man thus
speak blasphemies? who can forgive
sins but God only? And immediately
when Jesus perceived in his spirit
that
they
so
reasoned
within
themselves, he said unto them,
Why reason ye these things in your
hearts? Whether is it easier to say
to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be
forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and
take up thy bed, and walk? But
that ye may know that the Son of
man hath power on earth to forgive
sins, (he saith to the sick of the
palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and
take up thy bed, and go thy way
into thine house.
And immediately he arose, took
up the bed, and went forth before
them all; insomuch that they were
all amazed, and glorified God,
saying, We never saw it on this
fashion. (Mark 2:1-12 KJV)
The Call Of Matthew And His Feast In Honor Of
Jesus
Mark 2:13 - 17, Matt. 9:9 - 13, Luke 5:27 - 32
And he went forth again by the sea side;
and all the multitude resorted unto him,
and he taught them. And as he passed
by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus
sitting at the receipt of custom, and said
unto him, Follow me. And he arose and
followed him. And it came to pass, that,
as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many
publicans and sinners sat also together
with Jesus and his disciples: for there
were many, and they followed him.
And when the scribes and Pharisees
saw him eat with publicans and
sinners, they said unto his disciples,
How is it that he eateth and drinketh
with publicans and sinners? When
Jesus heard it, he saith unto them,
They that are whole have no need of
the physician, but they that are sick:
I came not to call the righteous, but
sinners to repentance.
(Mark 2:13-17 KJV)
Jesus Defends His Disciples
For Their Feasting Instead Of Fasting
Mark 2:18 - 22, Matt. 9:14 - 17, Luke 5:33 - 39
And the disciples of John and of the
Pharisees used to fast: and they come and
say unto him, Why do the disciples of John
and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples
fast not? And Jesus said unto them, Can the
children of the bridechamber fast, while the
bridegroom is with them? as long as they
have the bridegroom with them, they cannot
fast. But the days will come, when the
bridegroom shall be taken away from them,
and then shall they fast in those days.
No man also seweth a piece of new
cloth on an old garment: else the
new piece that filled it up taketh
away from the old, and the rent is
made worse. And no man putteth
new wine into old bottles: else the
new wine doth burst the bottles,
and the wine is spilled, and the
bottles will be marred: but new
wine must be put into new bottles.
(Mark 2:18-22 KJV)
Jesus Attends A Feast Of The Jews
And Heals A Lame Man John 5:1 - 47
After this there was a feast of the
Jews; and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem
by the sheep market a pool, which is
called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda,
having five porches. In these lay a
great multitude of impotent folk, of
blind, halt, withered, waiting for the
moving of the water. For an angel
went down at a certain season into
the pool, and troubled the water:
…whosoever then first after the troubling
of the water stepped in was made whole
of whatsoever disease he had. And a
certain man was there, which had an
infirmity thirty and eight years. When
Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had
been now a long time in that case, he
saith unto him, Wilt thou be made
whole? The impotent man answered him,
Sir, I have no man, when the water is
troubled, to put me into the pool: but
while I am coming, another steppeth
down before me. Jesus saith unto him,
Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
And immediately the man was made
whole, and took up his bed, and walked:
and on the same day was the sabbath.
The Jews therefore said unto him that
was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not
lawful for thee to carry thy bed. He
answered them, He that made me whole,
the same said unto me, Take up thy bed,
and walk. Then asked they him, What
man is that which said unto thee, Take
up thy bed, and walk? And he that was
healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had
conveyed himself away, a multitude
being in that place.
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the
temple, and said unto him, Behold,
thou art made whole: sin no more,
lest a worse thing come unto thee.
The man departed, and told the
Jews that it was Jesus, which had
made him whole. And therefore did
the Jews persecute Jesus, and
sought to slay him, because he had
done these things on the sabbath
day. But Jesus answered them, My
Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
Therefore the Jews sought the more to
kill him, because he not only had broken
the sabbath, but said also that God was
his Father, making himself equal with
God. Then answered Jesus and said unto
them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The
Son can do nothing of himself, but what
he seeth the Father do: for what things
soever he doeth, these also doeth the
Son likewise. For the Father loveth the
Son, and sheweth him all things that
himself doeth: and he will shew him
greater works than these, that ye may
marvel.
For as the Father raiseth up the dead,
and quickeneth them; even so the Son
quickeneth whom he will. For the Father
judgeth no man, but hath committed all
judgment unto the Son: That all men
should honour the Son, even as they
honour the Father. He that honoureth not
the Son honoureth not the Father which
hath sent him. Verily, verily, I say unto
you, He that heareth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me, hath
everlasting life, and shall not come into
condemnation; but is passed from death
unto life.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is
coming, and now is, when the dead shall
hear the voice of the Son of God: and
they that hear shall live. For as the
Father hath life in himself; so hath he
given to the Son to have life in himself;
And hath given him authority to execute
judgment also, because he is the Son of
man. Marvel not at this: for the hour is
coming, in the which all that are in the
graves shall hear his voice, And shall
come forth; they that have done good,
unto the resurrection of life;
…and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation. I can of mine
own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge:
and my judgment is just; because I seek
not mine own will, but the will of the
Father which hath sent me. If I bear
witness of myself, my witness is not
true. There is another that beareth
witness of me; and I know that the
witness which he witnesseth of me is
true. Ye sent unto John, and he bare
witness unto the truth. But I receive not
testimony from man: but these things I
say, that ye might be saved.
He was a burning and a shining light:
and ye were willing for a season to
rejoice in his light. But I have greater
witness than that of John: for the works
which the Father hath given me to finish,
the same works that I do, bear witness
of me, that the Father hath sent me. And
the Father himself, which hath sent me,
hath borne witness of me. Ye have
neither heard his voice at any time, nor
seen his shape. And ye have not his
word abiding in you: for whom he hath
sent, him ye believe not.
Search the scriptures; for in them ye
think ye have eternal life: and they are
they which testify of me. And ye will
not come to me, that ye might have
life. I receive not honour from men.
But I know you, that ye have not the
love of God in you. I am come in my
Father's name, and ye receive me not:
if another shall come in his own name,
him ye will receive. How can ye
believe, which receive honour one of
another, and seek not the honour that
cometh from God only?
Do not think that I will accuse you
to the Father: there is one that
accuseth you, even Moses, in whom
ye trust. For had ye believed Moses,
ye would have believed me: for he
wrote of me. But if ye believe not
his writings, how shall ye believe
my words?
