Lesson 28~ the calling of Matthew and Jesus eating at his home

Mat.9:9-13/Mark 2:13-17/Luke 5:27-28

As Jesus passed by a Publican named Levi also known as Mathew who was doing his duty at the receipt of custom, and Jesus said to him, "follow me." And Mathew left everything and followed Jesus. 

Later Mathew made a feast to honor Jesus at his house. During the feast the scribes and Pharisees complained against Jesus to his disciples saying, "Why are you eating and drinking with publicans and sinners?" they asked this for their custom forbid the to do so. 

Hearing this Jesus answered them saying, "Those who are whole do not need a doctor, only those who are sick. I came to call sinners to be saved, not those who are already saved."

Lesson 27~Jesus returns to to Capernaum

Mat. 9:2-8/Mark 2:1-12/Luke 5:18-26

Another time when Jesus went to Capernaum. The news got around that he was there and many came to hear him & be healed by him. In fact, there were so many in the house where Jesus was that some friends of a man with the Palsy could not get him to Jesus to be healed. So the friends carried the man upon the roof & tore up the roof above the room where Jesus was. Then they lowered the man down on a stretcher. Jesus was moved when he saw how great the friends love and faith. so he told the man that his sins were forgiven. When the spiritual leaders heard this they were angry for only god can forgive sins, they thought. Knowing this , Jesus asked them if it was easier to say ,"you sins are forgiven" or to tell the man to rise up and walk? Then Jesus went on and told them that he was going to heal the man so that they would know that he was able to do both forgive sins and heal. Then he turned to the man and told him, "Get up, gather up your bed & go home." Right away, the man did as Jesus told him to do. Everyone there was amazed by it & praised God for healing the man.

Lesson 26~Jesus heals a leper

Mt. 8:2-4/Mk.1:40-42/Lu.5:12-13

When Jesus went into a certain city, a Leper came and bowed down in front of him, and said, "If you wish, you can heal me."Because Jesus had love for the man. He did something that no one was to do. For it was believed that you would get this illness if you touched it.  In love, Jesus reach out and touched him and said, "I wish, be healed." Right away,  the leprosy left his body & he was healed. Jesus told the leper not to tell anyone that Jesus had healed him." Instead go to the priests and show them that you are healed. Then give a sacrifice to God as Moses had told your people to do. In doing that, you will be giving God the praise for this healing in front of the priests."

But the man went out and told many people anyway. This made it where Jesus could no longer let it be known when he went into the city. So Jesus had to preach in the desert places. But people came to him anyway to hear him preach and be healed.

Lesson 25~Jesus later Gallilean ministry

Mt.4:23-25/Mk.1:38-39/Lu.4:40-44

They next day Jesus left to go into the desert and the people followed him and asked him to stay. He told them, "No, for I must go to other cities and preach the Kingdom of God". 

Jesus went and preached in all the Synagogues & about all of Galilee preaching the gospel of the  Kingdom of God to all who would listen to him. He also healed all who needed healing in their minds, body & spirits.And great crowds of people followed him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, & beyond the Jordan. 

Lesson 24~ Jesus heals Simon Peter's Mother-in-law

Mat.8:14-15/Mark 1:29-31/Luke 4:38-39

After they left the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon Peter, and Andrew. With them were Jesus, as well as James and John. Once they were in the house they were told that Simon Peter's Mother-in-law was very sick with the fever. When Jesus heard this, He was touched. So in love, he went to her, rebuked the fever, took her hand and lifted her up .When he did that, she was healed that moment. 

Right away, the Mother-in-law got up and ministered to their needs of food and rest.
