The first episodes are from Genesis. Since Feb 2021 we began an exciting daily commentary in the the book of Acts since it is certain that almost all major theological errors within the church arise by a misapplication, or a misuse, of the book of Acts. If the book is taken in its proper light, it is an invaluable tool for understanding what God is doing in the redemptive narrative in human history. If it is taken incorrectly, failed doctrine, and even heretical ideas, will arise (and consistently have arisen) within the church. Since 2024 we have been going through the Gospel of Matthew verse by verse for the glory of God!
So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. Matthew 15:35
“And He ordered the crowds to sit upon the ground” (CG).
In the previous verse, Jesus asked the disciples how many loaves they had. The answer was seven, with a few tiddlers. With that in mind, it next says, “And He ordered the crowds to sit upon the ground.”
In Matthew 14, at the feeding of the five thousand, they were told to s...
Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.” Matthew 15:34
“And He says to them, Jesus, ‘How many loaves do you have?’ And they said, ‘Seven, and a few tiddlers.’” (CG).
In the previous verse, the disciples asked Jesus where they could get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a large crowd. Matthew next records, “And He says to them, Jesus, ‘H...
Then His disciples said to Him, “Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?” Matthew 15:33
“And the disciples, they say to Him, ‘Whence to us in solitude – loaves so many as to gorge a crowd so vast?’” (CG).
In the previous verse, Jesus told the disciples that He had compassion on the crowd, knowing they had not eaten for three days. He noted that He didn’t want t...
Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.” Matthew 15:32
“And Jesus, having summoned His disciples, He said, ‘I gut-wrench upon the crowd because already three days they bivouac with Me, and naught they have th...
So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. Matthew 15:31
“So too, the crowds marveled, seeing mutes speaking, cripples healthy, lame walking, and blind seeing, and they glorified the God of Israel” (CG).

“And they came to Him, great crowds, having with them lame, cripples, blind, mutes and others – many, and they strewed them near Jesus’ feet, and He healed them” (CG).
In the previous verse, Jesus was said to have departed from w...
Jesus departed from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there. Matthew 15:29
“And having departed thence, Jesus, He went near the Sea of the Galilee, and having ascended to the mountain, He sat there” (CG).
In the previous verse, Jesus noted the Canaanite woman’s faith and granted her desire, healing her daughter. It next says, “And having departed thence.”
T...
Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour. Matthew 15:28
“Then, Jesus answering, He said to her, ‘O! Woman, your faith is great! It become to you as you determine.’ And she’s cured, her daughter, from that hour” (CG).
In the previous verse, the Canaanite woman agreed with the Lord’s assessment con...
And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” Matthew 15:27
“And she said, ‘Yes, Lord. And even the puppies – he eats from the crumbs, the ‘falling from their master’s table’.’” (CG).
In the previous verse, Jesus responded to the Canaanite woman, telling her it wasn’t good to take the children’s bread and cast it to the puppies. Now, her incredi...
But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” Matthew 15:26
“And answering, He said, ‘It is not good to take the children’s bread and cast to the puppies’” (CG).

“And having come, she worshipped Him, saying, ‘Lord, You rush-relieve me!’” (CG).
In the previous verse, Jesus said to His disciples that He was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. However, the woman who had been crying out after Jesus was unrelenting. Matthew next records, “And having come, she worshipped H...
But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Matthew 15:24
“And answering, He said, ‘Not, I was sent, if not to the sheep, the ‘having been lost’ – House Israel” (CG).
In the previous verse, the disciples came to Jesus, urging Him to send the Canaanite woman away because of all her croaking after them. Matthew next records words concerning Jesus, “And answe...
But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.” Matthew 15:23
“And He answered not a word. And having approached, His disciples, they entreated Him, saying, ‘You dismiss her! For she cries after us’” (CG).
In the previous verse, the woman of Canaan came to Jesus while He was in the region of Tyre and Sidon, begging Him to have ...
And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.” Matthew 15:22
“And you behold! A Canaanite woman from those same borders, having come, she croaked to Him, saying, ‘You compassionate me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter, she is demon-possessed badly’” (CG).
In the previous verse, Jesus...
Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. Matthew 15:21
“And having departed thence, Jesus, He withdrew to the allotments – Tyre and Sidon” (CG).
In the previous verse, Jesus finished His explanation of the things that defile a man. Eating with unwashed hands was not among those things. Next, Matthew records, “And having departed thence.”
The last record of where ...
These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.” Matthew 15:20
“These, they are, the ‘defiling the man,’ but to eat with unwashed hands, not it defiles the man” (CG).
In the previous verse, Jesus gave a list of things that stem from the heart and which defile a person. He confirms this now with the words, “These, they are, the ‘defiling the man.’”
The l...
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. Matthew 15:19
“For from the heart, they come: evil meanderings, murders, adulteries, harlotries, thefts, false-witnessings, blasphemies” (CG).
In the previous verse, Jesus told the disciples that it is what proceeds out of the mouth that defiles a man. Having said that, He now explains wh...
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. Matthew 15:18
“And those proceeding from the mouth, it comes from the heart, and those, it commonizes the man” (CG).
In the previous verse, Jesus gave the disciples a lesson in basic human physiology, something they should have thought through by themselves. Now, He uses that instruction to provide an example...
Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? Matthew 15:17
“Not yet you grasp that all, the ‘entering into the mouth,’ into the stomach it contains, and into the john it ejects?” (CG).
In the previous verse, Jesus chided the disciples, noting their still being unintelligent. He now explains their question with basic information that any child could ...
So Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding? Matthew 15:16
“And Jesus, He said, ‘And yet, you, you are unintelligent!’” (CG).
In the previous verse, Peter came to Jesus and said, “You expound to us this parable.” With that, Matthew records, “And Jesus, He said.”
Jesus’ response is not a question. Rather, it will be a statement. He has been instructing them on matters, and they have be...
