            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 9:21-24

21 - And in the same way he sprinkled with blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship. {All purified, a solemn oath.} 22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there’s no forgiveness [aphesis - forgiveness, release, remission]. {And guilty conscience appeased.}

     23 THUS - it was necessary for the copies (examples, likeness) of the heavenly things to be purified by these rites, but the heavenly things (real way) with a better sacrifice than these. 24 For Christ has entered, not into the most holy place made with hands - which are copies of the true most holy place - but into heaven itself, now to appear in the Presence of God on our behalf.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 5:1-11

1 - On one occasion, Jesus was standing by the lake of Gennesaret (on the west shore of Galilee lake, in the land of Gennesaret). The large crowd around him was eager to hear the message of God, and was pressing in upon him. 2 He saw two boats by the lake, where the crew had left them to go and wash their nets. 3 So he got into one of the boats, and he asked Simon Peter to put it out a little from the land, for it was Simon’s boat. And then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

     4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 5 And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all through the night and our nets are empty, for we caught nothing at all, however at your word, I’ll let down the nets.”

     6 And when they had done so, they caught so many fish, their nets were breaking. 7 They signaled to their partners (James and John) in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, until they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!” 9 For he and all who were with him in the boat were astonished at the catch of fish, 10 and so were those of the other boat belonging to James and John, the sons of Zebedee.

     Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t fear, from now on you will be catching men.” 11 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all and followed him.

Hebrews 9:15-20  Mark 1:35-39

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 9:15-20

15 - Jesus, therefore, is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the enduring inheritance that is promised, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. {Author is Hebrew through and through..? Apollo? Or studied Pharisee Paul?} 16 For where a will {and testament} is involved, there has to be the death of the one who made the will. 17 For a will takes effect only at death. It’s not in force as long as the one who made it is still alive. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood. {The most solemn nonreversible pledge, promise, guarantee.. Old world notarizing. Un-breakable. A blood oath.}  19 For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, “This is the blood of the agreement that God has commanded concerning you.”

            🌙 P.M. Mark 1:35-39

35 -  And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he went out to a lonely place to pray. [“Be still, and know I am God” Ps.46:10. He is. And thAt is fantastic news indeed!! Hello!? ..We are currently entropic, not immortal. So yes, good news indeed.]

     36 Simon (Peter) and those who were with him searched for him, 37 and when they found him, they told him, “Everyone is looking for you.” 38 But he said, “Let’s go on to the next towns, so I may preach there also, for this is why I came.”

     39 And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and casting out demons.

     {Demons are rogue angels [messengers] lying spirits. How to determine true from not, or not quite true? Jesus prayed “Father sanctify them in the Truth, thy logos is Truth” Jn.17:17, boTh the personified logos and the written logos. Logos - reasoning (God’s reasoning.) With language tools! Because translators were under sway of an ancient falsehood.. And some disbelief. Logos is the root word of Logic! Just a very few bad word translations have robbed the message of a good part of its GLORY.

     And we are robbed if we let our heart be hardened against the written logos, or even to the Old Testament. God’s voice has to speak to the worst, most barbaric, and cruelly heartless, not just to the ‘saints’ (if there were any saints, lol, as we think of the word). And pre flood was hands off. And 1st proof - that imperfect is an abyss of potential.. and entropy, “which doesn’t quit”. So “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10 (Jn.12:32). Death is a waiting for resurrection, either “into life” (into long second advent) or into “aionion kolasis” / eonian korrection / age of correction, Jn.5:28,29 and Mt.25:46.}

Hebrews 9:6-10  Luke 4:31-44

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 9:6-10

6 - For the (tabernacle, temple) preparations and rituals, the priests go regularly into the first {entry} section, 7 but into the second interior room, only the high priest goes. And he but once a year. And not without taking blood {strong enough to convince and appease every conscience} which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people. [Annually on Day of Atonement, DOA.] {A “shadow and type” of the real DOA, for the initiaLLy doa.}

     8 By this the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} indicates that the way into the most holy place {his presence} is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing, 9 which is symbolic for the present age.  {This present reality. This entropy! A slow gehenna. We could not endure His Full Presence. Purity consumes impurity. We are still entropic/imperfect - Heb.11:40, 1Cor.15:54.}

     According to the old arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect [teleiōsai] {satisfy} the conscience of the worshiper {once and for all} 10 but it deals only with food and drink and various washings [baptismos] and regulations imposed until the time of restoring [diorthosis - reformation, correction, improvement] {of humanity, which began with Jesus’ first advent, and will be fully completed during his long second advent}.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 4:31-44

31 - Jesus went back to Capernaum of Galilee, and was teaching on the Sabbath. 32 The people were astonished at his teaching, for his words were skillful and spoken with authority. 33 There was a man in the synagogue who had {was contaminated with} the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 “Ha! What have you to do with us?! You Jesus of Nazareth! Have you come to destroy us?! I know who you are! The Holy One of God!”

     35 Jesus said, “Be silent and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown the man down in their midst of them, he came out, and the man suffered no injury.

     36 Amazed, the people were saying, “What is this?! For with authority and power he even commands the unclean spirits, and they obey!” 37 And so reports and word of him went out to all places in the region.

     38 After that, he left the synagogue and went to Simon's house. Simon Peter’s mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, so they appealed to him on her behalf. 39 And he went to her and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose, and she prepared a meal for them.

    40 Later on, when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases, brought them to him. And he healed them by touching and laying his hands on every one of them. 41 And demons also came out of many, crying, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and wouldn’t allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Christ, the Messiah.

    42 On the next day, he went out to a lonely place. But the people looked for him and found him, and were urging him to stay with them, 43 but he said, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well. For this is why I was sent.” 44 And so in those days, he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

If you happened to read yesterday’s gospel reading and study, somehow I got it in a wrong order. It was way out of place. Not shocking, I’m 71 afterall, and I ‘knew’ it, but it was a busy day. ..Don’t you just love reading about Jesus’ days? You should read yesterday’s, I fixed it.

Hebrews 5:1-4  Luke 2:1-7

           ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 5:1-4

1 - In the earthly priesthood, every high priest from among men is appointed to act on behalf of the people in their relation to God. They offered gifts and sacrifices for sins. {The human psyche and conscience fears God. It’s not God who “is Love”, that needs to be appeased. There wAs the atonement, no doubt! Also called a ransom. And salvation/safety.}

     2 A priest can deal gently with the unknowing and wayward, since he himself has human weakness [astheneia - weakness, disease, infirmity, sickness, frailty, dependence, infirmity that causes inability to pursue or do what they would like to; from asthenes - “a” not, and sthenes - strength - without strength]. 3 So the {earthly} priest has to offer sacrifice for their own sin [hamartia - missing the mark] just as for those of the people. {Ps.40:6 - “sacrifice and offering you do not want”. Sacrifices for and on behalf of the people.} 4 And no one takes this honor for their self {of being a priest for the people} but only when called by God, as Moses’ brother Aaron was.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 2:1-7

1 - In those days Caesar Augustus sent out a decree that all the world should be registered. 2 This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be registered, each to their own hometown. 4 So Joseph went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David. 5 He went to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.

     6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger (feeding trough) because there was no room for them in the inn.

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 2:1-3

1 - Therefore we must pay very close attention to what we’ve heard! Lest we drift away from it! 2 For since the message declared by angels proved to be firm and unchangeable {engraved in stone} and every transgression or disobedience received just return [misthapodosía - from misthós - reward, and apodídōmi - return, give back] 3 how shall - we - escape [ekpheugó - escape, flee out, avoid] if we neglect the so great [tēlikoútos - a strengthened form of tēlikos - so great, vast, very great, coming of age, reaching maximum size {and scope] salvation? That which was first announced by the Lord, and then was confirmed by us who heard it. (By the miracles, signs, and wonders, and by the changed hearts and lives.)

            🌙 P.M. Jn.20:30-21:6

30 - Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book. 31 But what is written is so you may believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have Life in his name.

     John 21:1 - Now Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias (another name for Sea of Galilee). And in this way — 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing!” They said to him, “We’ll go too.” So they took the boat out, but all that night, they caught nothing.

     4 And just as day was breaking, Jesus stood at the shore. The disciples didn’t know it was Jesus. 5 He said to them, “Children, have you any fish?” They answered, “No, we caught nothing.” 6 He said, “Cast the net to the right side of the boat, and you’ll find some.” So they did, and now they were not able to haul in the catch, there were so many [pléthos - multitude, great number, fullness].

            ☀️ John 7:37-8:1

37 - On the last day of the feast, the “last great day” (Lev.23:36) Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink! 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of their heart will flow rivers of living water’!”

     39 Now he said this about the Spirit{/Presence of God} which those who believing in him would receive, for the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

     40 When they heard him say this, some of the people said, “This really is the Prophet!” 41 And, “This is the Christ!” But others said, “Is the Christ to come from Galilee? 42 Hasn’t the Scripture said the Messiah comes from the descendents of David, and from Bethlehem, the village of David?”

     43 So there was a division among the people concerning him. 44 Some of them {leaders} wanted to arrest him. But no one laid hands on him.

    45 The officers who had been sent, went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring him in?”46 The officers answered, “No one ever spoke like this man.”

     47 The Pharisees answered, “Have you been deceived as well? 48 Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him? 49 But this crowd that doesn’t know the law (of Moses) is accursed!” {Beneath us?! Is the ignorant rabble!? Every nation, group, nationality, has its leaders. And they can all be known by their fruit. As is true of all of us, but POWER often corrupts.. misleads.. becomes a spiritual snare. A snare of the heart.}

     50 Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before (by night) but who was one of them, said, 51 “Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning about his works?” 52 They answered him, “Are you from Galilee too?! Search and see! No prophet comes from Galilee.” {Vehement dismissal.}

     [The earliest manuscripts we have don’t include 7:53 to 8:11.] 53 They all went home to their own houses, 8:1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

            ☀️ Romans 15:22-33

22 - This is the reason why I (Paul) have so often been hindered from coming to see you. [Because of finishing the work “from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum” (a region of the Roman Empire) and to Greece.] 23 But now, since I no longer have opportunity for work in these regions, and since I’ve longed - for many years - to come to you, 24 I hope to see you in passing as I go to Spain, and to be helped on my journey there by you, after I’ve enjoyed your company for a while! {He has not met the Roman believers.}

     25 At present, however, I’m going to Jerusalem to bring some aid there for the saints/believers/followers. (There had been a severe drought.) 26 For Macedonia and Achaia volunteered to make a contribution for the poor among the brothers and sisters at Jerusalem. 27 They were happy to do it, and why not? It seems right, for if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, why not be of service to them in material blessings in a time of need?

     28 When I’ve delivered to them what’s been collected, I’ll leave for Spain by way of Rome. 29 I know when I come to you I’ll come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ. 30 I ask you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord and Messiah Jesus, and by the love of the Spirit to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf, 31 that this service will be seen as good to them at Jerusalem {in the same spirit as given} and that I may be kept safe from the unbelieving leaders in Judea. 32 So that by God's will I may joyfully come to you at last and be refreshed in your company as we together, seek his rest. 33 May the God of peace be with you all!

            🌙 Matthew 17:14-27

14 - As Jesus and his disciples were coming to a crowd, a man came up and kneeling before Jesus, 15 said, “Lord, have mercy on my son! For he has seizures and suffers terribly! He often falls into the fire, and into water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but they couldn’t heal him.”

     17 Jesus said, “Oh you poor faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? How long will I have to bear with you? Bring him to me.” [Twisted - diastréphō - from diá - through, thoroughly, which intensifies stréphō - turn – (so) turn thoroughly, thoroughly turned into a new shape – i.e. not the shape (form) it should be. Jesus is called “the First/Proto” and “we shall be like him”.] {Jesus is the prototype.} 18 So Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was instantly healed.

     19 Later the disciples came to Jesus and asked him, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?” 20 He said, “Because your faith is too little. But truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a small grain of mustard seed, you’ll say to this mountain (beautiful Mt. Hermon) ‘move from here to there,’ and it’ll move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” {Can you imagine a world where imperfect beings had such abilities? It would be like “the Titans” etc. And more Titans than Hercules’.}

     22 And while still in (upper) Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of man, 23 and they’ll kill him, and he’ll be raised on the third day.” And so they were greatly distressed.

     24 When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came up to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the tax?” 25 He said, “Yes of course.”

     And when he came into the house, Jesus said to him, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of Earth take a toll/tax? From their own sons or from others?”

     26 Peter said, “From others”. And Jesus said, “Then the sons are free! 27 However, not to give offense to the collectors, go to the sea and cast in a hook and the first fish that comes up, in its mouth you’ll find a shekel. Take it and give it to them, for me and for you.”

6 - Should I wish to boast, I wouldn’t actually be a fool, for I’d be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so no one will think more of me than they see in me or hear from me. 7 And then, to keep me from becoming puffed up [huperairó - to lift self up, having an exaggerated sense of self-importance] because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn in my flesh was given to me. Like a messenger of Satan to harass me! But to keep me from becoming conceited. 8 Three times I prayed that it be removed. 9 But he said, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power’s made perfect in weakness.”

     Therefore! I will boast all the more gladly of my frailty. So the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I’m not troubled by weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, or calamities. For when I’m weak, then I’m strong.

     11 I’ve acted a fool! You forced me to do it. For I thought you would understand, that I’m not at all lesser than these super-apostles, even though I’m no one special either. 12 The signs of a genuine apostle were performed among you with utmost patience, with signs and wonders and mighty works. {To promote the message, not the messengers.}

            🌙 Matthew 4:12-17

12 - When Jesus heard John (the baptist/baptizer) had been arrested, he withdrew for a while. 13 Then later, after leaving Nazareth (in Galilee) he went and stayed in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali. 14 And so what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled, 15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by way of the sea, beyond River Jordan, and Galilee of the nations, 16 the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light. And for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has shined.”

     17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
