Review on Miracles
•Accounts of nature and healing miracles
follow similar patterns
•Miracles often reflect ancient notion
of power residing in persons or objects
•May be accompanied by special words
and gestures
•Miraculous power can sometimes be
accessed through naming
•Miracles often represent a contest
between divine and demonic powers
•First question is the “fact” of a miracle
•Agents of miracles may be rejected...
•As demonic (Mt 9:34), false (Mt 24:24),
crazy, or magical (Acts 8:11; 13:6, 8) 

Review on Miracles
•The "fact" of a miraculous event invites
controversy over its "meaning”
•Often include explicit pronouncements
•Account likely recalled to address laterday concerns
•Key point is implication of power (Mt 9:6)
•The ultimate purpose of miracles was to
effect conversion (Mt 10:7-8; 11:20-21;
Rom 15:18)
•Miracle stories are deployed differently
in each gospel
•In Matthew, they serve themes of faith,
fulfillment, and forgiveness

Who are the Herodians?
• After Jesus healed the man with a withered hand ...
• Mk 3:6 the Pharisees went out and immediately began taking counsel with the
Herodians against Him, as to how they might destroy Him
• Mt 12:14 But the Pharisees went out, and counseled together against Him, as to
how they might destroy Him.
• On the question of paying taxes to Caesar ...
• Mk 12:13 ... they [chief priests, scribes, and elders] *sent some of the Pharisees
and Herodians to Him, in order to trap Him in a statement.
• Mt 22:16 ... they [Pharisees] *sent their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians
....
• On the question of Jesus giving a sign from heaven ...
• Mk 8:15 And He was giving orders to them, saying, “Watch out! Beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod [some mss have “Herodians”]
• Mt 16:6 And Jesus said to them, “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees and Sadducees”
22 Mar 2010
- Bill Brewer
14
Who are the Herodians?
• Not mentioned in Luke or John
• Jewish faction figuring in three NT stories
• Healing of man with withered hand (Mt 12:14; Mk 3:6 )
• Lawfulness of paying taxes to Caesar (Mt 22:16; Mk 12:13)
• Leaven of Herod (Mt 16:6; Mk 8:15)
• Exact identity is unclear
• May be the same as Sadducees
• Or Sadducees may have been Jewish adherents over against Herod's
partisans (Herodians aka Boethusians)
• In any case, they were indistinguishable theologically
• If separate, distinctions could have broken down with Herod's marriage into
Jewish Hasmonean dynasty
• If so, both would have had their power in the Temple and royal court
• Both would have been hostile to the Pharisees
• Key point is hostility of Pharisees to Jesus led to alliances between Sadducess
and Herodians

Matthew 12:1-2
12:1 At that time Jesus
went on the Sabbath
through the grainfields,
and His disciples
became hungry and
began to pick the heads
of grain and eat.
2 But when the
Pharisees saw it, they
said to Him, “Behold,
Your disciples do what
is not lawful to do on a
Sabbath.”

Matthew 12:3-5
3 But He said to them,“Have you not
read what David did, when he became
hungry, he and his companions;
4 how he entered the house of God,
and they ate the consecrated bread,
which was not lawful for him to eat,
nor for those with him, but for the
priests alone?
5 “Or have you not read in the Law,
that on the Sabbath the priests in the
temple break the Sabbath, and are
innocent?

means, ‘I desire compassion, and not a
sacrifice,’ you would not have
condemned the innocent.

Sabbath.”

Matthew 12:9-11
9 And departing from there, He went
into their synagogue.
10 And behold, there was a man with a
withered hand. And they questioned
Him, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the
Sabbath?”—in order that they might
accuse Him.
11 And He said to them, “What man
shall there be among you, who shall
have one sheep, and if it falls into a pit
on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of
it, and lift it out?

21
Matthew 12:12-13
12 “Of how much more value then is a
man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful
to do good on the Sabbath.”
13 Then He *said to the man, “Stretch
out your hand!” And he stretched it
out, and it was restored to normal, like
the other.

Matthew 12:14-15
14 But the Pharisees went
out, and counseled
together against Him, as to
how they might destroy
Him.
15 But Jesus, aware of
this, withdrew from there.
And many followed Him,
and He healed them all,
16 and warned them not to
make Him known,

Matthew 12:17-21
17 in order that what was spoken
through Isaiah the prophet, might be
fulfilled, saying,
18 “Behold, My Servant whom I have
chosen; My Beloved in whom My soul
is well -pleased; I will put My Spirit
upon Him, And He shall proclaim
justice to the Gentiles.
19 “He will not quarrel, nor cry out; Nor
will anyone hear His voice in the
streets.
20 “A battered reed He will not break
off, And a smoldering wick He will not
put out, Until He leads justice to
victory.
21 “And in His name the Gentiles will
hope.”

Matthew 12:22-25
22 Then there was brought to Him a
demon-possessed man who was blind
and dumb, and He healed him, so that
the dumb man spoke and saw.
23 And all the multitudes were amazed,
and began to say, “This man cannot be
the Son of David, can he?”
24 But when the Pharisees heard it,
they said, “This man casts out demons
only by Beelzebul the ruler of the
demons.”
25 And knowing their thoughts He said
to them, “Any kingdom divided against
itself is laid waste; and any city or
house divided against itself shall not
stand.

25
Matthew 12:26-30
26 “And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided
against himself; how then shall his kingdom
stand?
27 “And if I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by
whom do your sons cast them out?
Consequently they shall be your judges.
28 “But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of
God, then the kingdom of God has come upon
you.
29 “Or how can anyone enter the strong man’s
house and carry off his property, unless he
first binds the strong man? And then he will
plunder his house.
30 “He who is not with Me is against Me; and
he who does not gather with Me scatters.

Matthew 12:31-34
31 “Therefore I say to you,
any sin and blasphemy
shall be forgiven men, but
blasphemy against the
Spirit shall not be forgiven.
32 “And whoever shall
speak a word against the
Son of Man, it shall be
forgiven him; but whoever
shall speak against the
Holy Spirit, it shall not be
forgiven him, either in this
James Tissot
age, or in the age to come.
33 “Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its
fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit.
34 “You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the
mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.

Matthew 12:35-38
35 “The good man out of his good
treasure brings forth what is good; and
the evil man out of his evil treasure
brings forth what is evil.
36 “And I say to you, that every
careless word that men shall speak,
they shall render account for it in the
day of judgment.
37 “For by your words you shall be
justified, and by your words you shall
be condemned.”
38 Then some of the scribes and
Pharisees answered Him, saying,
“Teacher, we want to see a sign from
You.”

- Bill Brewer
•Repentance is implicit in being
forgiven (e.g, “men of Nineveh”)
•“Son of Man” is most likely titular; i.e.,
Jesus
•Blasphemy of the Spirit appears to be
the attribution of Jesus’ miraculous
power to the workings of Satan
•Blasphemy against the Son of Man
was forgivable probably because
Jesus’ identity was not entirely plain
•Blasphemy against the Spirit was not
forgivable because the miracles
manifested God’s work unambiguously
28
Matthew 12:39-41
39 But He answered and said to them, “An evil and
adulterous generation craves for a sign; and yet no
sign shall be given to it but the sign of Jonah the
prophet;
40 for just as Jonah was three days and three
nights in the belly of the sea monster, so shall the
Son of Man be three days and three nights in the
heart of the earth.
41 “The men of Nineveh shall stand up with this
generation at the judgment, and shall condemn it
because they repented at the preaching of Jonah;
and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

Matthew 12:42

Matthew 12:43-45
43 “Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man,
it passes through waterless places, seeking rest,
and does not find it.
44 “Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from
which I came’; and when it comes, it finds it
unoccupied, swept, and put in order.
45 “Then it goes, and takes along with it seven other
spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and
live there; and the last state of that man becomes
worse than the first. That is the way it will also be
with this evil generation.”

Matthew 12:46-48
46 While He was still
speaking to the
multitudes, behold, His
mother and brothers were
standing outside, seeking
to speak to Him.
47 And someone said to
Him, “Behold, Your mother
and Your brothers are
standing outside seeking
to speak to You.”
48 But He answered the
one who was telling Him
and said, “Who is My
mother and who are My
brothers?”

Matthew 12:49-50
49 And stretching out His
hand toward His disciples,
He said, “Behold, My

will of My Father who is in
heaven, he is My brother
and sister and mother.”

Matthew 16:1-4
16:1 And the Pharisees
and Sadducees came
up, and testing Him
asked Him to show
them a sign from
heaven.
2 But He answered and
said to them, “When it
is evening, you say, ‘It
will be fair weather, for
the sky is red.’
3 “And in the morning,
James Tissot
‘There will be a storm
today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you know how to discern the
appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?
4 “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and a sign will not be
given it, except the sign of Jonah.” And He left them, and went away.

Matthew 16:5-8
5 And the disciples came to
the other side and had
forgotten to take bread.
6 And Jesus said to them,
“Watch out and beware of
the leaven of the Pharisees
and Sadducees.”
7 And they began to
discuss among themselves,
saying, “It is because we
took no bread.”
8 But Jesus, aware of this,
said, “You men of little faith,
why do you discuss among yourselves that you have no
bread?

Matthew 16:9-10
9 “Do you not yet
understand or remember
the five loaves of the five

many large baskets you
took up?

Matthew 16:11-12
11 “How is it that you do
not understand that I did
not speak to you
concerning bread? But
beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees and Sadducees.”
12 Then they understood
that He did not say to
beware of the leaven of
bread, but of the teaching
of the Pharisees and
Sadducees.

Matthew 16:13-17
13 Now when Jesus
came into the district of
Caesarea Philippi, He
began asking His
disciples, saying, “Who
do people say that the
Son of Man is?”
14 And they said, “Some
say John the Baptist;
and others, Elijah; but
still others, Jeremiah, or
one of the prophets.”
James Tissot
15 He *said to them,
“But who do you say that I am?” 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, “Thou
art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered and said to
him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal
this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

Mt 16:18-21
18 “And I also say to you that you are
Peter [petros], and upon this rock
[petra] I will build My church; and the
gates of Hades shall not overpower it.
19 “I will give you the keys of the
kingdom of heaven; and whatever you
shall bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven, and whatever you shall loose
on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
20 Then He warned the disciples that
they should tell no one that He was the
Christ.
21 From that time Jesus Christ began
to show His disciples that He must go
to Jerusalem, and suffer many things
from the elders and chief priests and
scribes, and be killed, and be raised up
on
the third day.
22 Mar 2010
- Bill Brewer
Some points on “Peter as rock”:
•Wordplay has little other purpose
•Gender change explained by “Peter”
(masculine) to “rock” (feminine)
•No word difference at all in Aramaic
•Abraham, David described likewise
•Apostles describes as “foundation”
•V19 explains “Peter as rock”
•Matthew’s interest in Peter; e.g., ...
•“the first Simon” – Mt 10:2
•Peter walking on water – Mt 14:28ff
•Two-drachma tax – Mt 17:24ff
•Limits of forgiveness – Mt 18:21ff ...
•Vv18-19, in historical context,
explain, not what Peter would do, but
what he had already done in the life
of Matthew’s community

22 And Peter took Him aside and
began to rebuke Him, saying, “God
forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen
to You.”
23 But He turned and said to
Peter,“Get behind Me, Satan! You are a
stumbling block to Me; for you are not
setting your mind on God’s interests,
but man’s.”
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If
anyone wishes to come after Me, let
him deny himself, and take up his
cross, and follow Me.
25 “For whoever wishes to save his life
shall lose it; but whoever loses his life
for My sake shall find it.

Matthew 16:26-28
26 “For what will a man be
profited, if he gains the whole
world, and forfeits his soul? Or
what will a man give in exchange
for his soul?
27 “For the Son of Man is going to
come in the glory of His Father
with His angels; and will then
recompense every man according
to his deeds.
28 “Truly I say to you, there are
some of those who are standing
here who shall not taste death
until they see the Son of Man
coming in His kingdom.”
