10-15 - LUKE 20 20-26

scriptures paraphrased to post 

  πŸ•Š️a reading & study πŸ•Š️

20 - The leaders watched Jesus. They sent spies, pretending to be sincere, so they might catch him in something he said, and then they could deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the Roman governor. 21 So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you teach and speak rightly, and show no partiality, but teach the true way of God. 22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar?” [To deny Caesar was punishable by death.] 23 But he knew what they were up to. 24 “Show me a denarius,” he said, and looking at it he asked them, “Whose inscription and likeness is this?” They said, “Caesar's.” 25 Then he said, “So render to Caesar that which is Caesar's, and to God that which is God's.”

    26 Marveling at his answer they became silent. They were unable to catch him in his words.

     04/18 - GospeL Verses 

(Yesterday was the invitation - “come to the banquet!” of Life, reciprocal - accept the invitation, show up.) 11 - “Now when the king came in to greet the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. 12 And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And the man had no answer. 13 So the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot” [deΓ³ - bind, tie, fasten, declare to be prohibited and unlawful] {we must “put on perfection, and (thus) put on immortality} “and cast him into the outer darkness”. {The inner, outside of the light darkness, gnashing of teeth, portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable, and in the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22, which because Jesus “will draw all” (Jn.12:32) will progress to weeping.. remorse, beating self up over things (think cruel despots, etc. the sure to occur gut wrenching remorse, as it should be, and no easy ticket) even beating self “with many stripes” until realizing Christ Crucified, strong enough to appease every conscience, during GWT judgment ‘day’.} “In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.” {Chosen for “1st Resurrection” into “the” millennium, a Sabbath rest from enmity and evil, first half of the Lord’s long second advent, a full scope version of His first one? But with helpers serving, called reigning.. “crowns of Life” not metal.}

     15 After this the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle him in his words. 16 And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians (family of leaders who were Greek philosophy and myth believing Hebrews) saying, “Teacher, we know you are genuine, and teach the - way of God - truthfully. And you don’t care about other’s opinions, for you’re not swayed by appearances” {worldly positions, etc, so called importance}. 17 “Tell us what you think, is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar?” 18 Jesus, aware of their bad intent, said, “Why do you put me to the test, you fakers? 19 Show me a coin for the tax.” And they brought him a silver coin. 20 And Jesus said, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “Caesar's.” So he said, “Render to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. And give to God what belongs to God”. {Reciprocal.} 22 When they heard it, they marveled and went on their way.

Today’s GospeL Verses ~ Mark 12:12-27

12 - And they (leaders, authorities) were seeking to arrest him, but they feared the people. They knew he had told the parable against them, so they left him and went away. 13 But they sent to him some Pharisees and Herodians, to trap him in his talk, 14 who came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are true and don’t care about any man’s opinion (politics). For you’re not swayed by appearances, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar? Or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?” 15 But, knowing their hypocrisy. (It was a death sentence to deny Caesar.) He said to them, “Why put me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.”16 And they brought one. And he said, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said to him, “Caesar's.” 17 So Jesus said, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” And they marveled at his answer.

     18 And some Sadducees came, who say there is no resurrection. And they asked him a question, saying,19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man should take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. (If she wanted.) 20 There were seven brothers and the first took a wife, and when he died left no child. 21 And the second took her, and died, also leaving no offspring. And the third likewise. 22 And also with all seven, and left no child. Last of all the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”

     24 Jesus said to them, “Is it not the reason you are very wrong? Because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither wed nor are - given - in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven. 26 And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You greatly err.” (Jesus said elsewhere, “All those” (asleep) “in the tombs/graves will hear God’s voice and will come forth. Some into the resurrection of life (into THE millennium, to serve called reigning.. for to do His works is surely to reign.. crown of Life, not metal). And some into the resurrection of (the GWT) judgment” ‘day’ (Jn.5:28-29) which elsewhere He calls agelasting correction [“kolasin aionion” oR “korrection eonian”] Mt.25:46, the completing of drawing all! JN.12:42. Outlined in the ancient Fall holy days of Lev.23: Trumpets (of Rev. & return) 10days/1000yrs later, the fiery final defeat of Satan, then — Day of Atonement, 5days/500yrs later — Tabernacles! “God will tabernacle with mankind, behold! I make all [pas - all, every, the whole] new!” Via the fiery regeneration, greek word “palin/again-genesis”. Which is how death dies.

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                ~ Galatians 4:8-20 ~

8 - Before, when you didn’t know God, you were submitted to and in bondage to those that by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather - to be known by Him, how can you turn back to weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more? [They were listening to false teachers.] 10 You (consider as demanded/required/mandatory to) observe days and months, seasons and years! 11 I’m afraid I may have labored over you in vain. 12 So I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you (gentiles) are. You did me no wrong. 13 You know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first,14 and though my condition was a trial to you, you didn’t scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus himself. 15 What then has become of your blessedness? For I testify that, if possible, you would have gouged out your own eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth? 17 They make much of you, but for no good purpose. They want to shut you out, that you may make much of them. 18 It is always good to be made much of for a good purpose, and not only when I am present with you, 19 my little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you! 20 I wish I could be present with you now and change my tone, for I am perplexed about you!
