  • Matthew 4:12-5:12
  • Jesus withdrew from Herod… or did he setup ship right underneath Herod nose?
  • John as Jesus’ rabbi?
  • Remez to Isaiah 9. What is a remez?
    • What is Isaiah 9 about?
  • Follow me. The Jewish educational process.
    • What can we know about their ages from the story?
    • Did Jesus know the disciples already? Were the cousins?
  • Jesus healed who? What is Matthew’s agenda and how would his disciples have felt about who was being healed?
    • People from Syria, the Galilee, the Decapod, Jerusalem, Judea, beyond the Jordan.
    • Why did Judea abba Galilee despise each other?
  • The beatitudes
    • Blessed means? God’s favor?
    • Dallas Willard argues that the beatitudes are pronouncements of God’s blessings on all of the persons that the world believes us missing out.
    • First half is about the broken.
    • The second half of about those who minister to the broken.
