(September, 29-2016 on Thursday)
Matthew 15(6 & 9): 38 The number of those who ate was four thousand men(4 & 7), besides women and children. (2)
258
35 He
told the crowd to sit down on the ground.
(8)
36 Then He took the seven loaves and the fish(4 & 7), and when He had given thanks, He broke them and gave them to
the disciples, and they in turn to the people.
369
26 He
replied, “It is not right to
take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
(8)
27 “Yes it is, Lord,”
she said. “Even the dogs eat
the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
369
17 “Don’t
you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of
the body? (8)
18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth
come from the heart, and these defile them.
369
8 “‘These
people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. (8)
9 They worship Me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’”
9 They worship Me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’”
369
39 After
Jesus had sent the crowd away, he got into the boat and went to the vicinity of
Magadan.
(3)
138
30 Great
crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and
many others, and laid them at His feet; and He
healed them. (3)
31 The people were
amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame
walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the GOD of Israel.
32 Jesus(2 & 5) called His disciples to Him
and said, “I
have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do
not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way.”
33 His disciples
answered, “Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a
crowd?”
34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small
fish.”
147
The Faith of a
Canaanite Woman
21 Leaving
that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. (3)
22 A Canaanite woman
from that vicinity came to Him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on
me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
23 Jesus(2 & 5) did not answer a
word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps
crying out after us.”
24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
25 The woman came and
knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
147
12 Then
the disciples came to Him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were
offended when they heard this?”
(3)
13 He replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted
will be pulled up by the roots.
14 Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind,
both will fall into a pit.”
15 Peter said,
“Explain the parable to us.”
16 “Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them.
147
3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the Command of GOD for the sake of your tradition? (3)
4 For GOD said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone
who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’
5 But you say that if anyone
declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is
‘devoted to GOD,’
6 they are not to ‘honor their
father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify
the Word of GOD for the sake of your tradition.
7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right
when he prophesied about you:
147
37 They
all ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven
basketfuls of broken pieces that were
left over. (1)
147
28 Then
Jesus said to her,
“Woman, you have
great faith! Your request is granted her daughter was
healed at that moment. (1)
Jesus Feeds the
Four Thousand
29 Jesus left there and went along the
Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on a mountainside and sat down.
258
19 For
out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft,
false testimony, slander.
(1)
20 These are what defile a person;
but eating with
unwashed hands does not defile them.”
258
10 Jesus
called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen
and understand.
(1)
11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them,
but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”
258
That Which Defiles
1 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem
and asked, (1)
2 “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the
elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!”

Genesis
49: 33 When Jacob had finished giving instructions to his sons, he drew his
feet up into the bed, breathed his last and was gathered to his people. (6)

25 because
of your father’s GOD, who helps you, because of the Almighty, who blesses you
with blessings of the skies above, blessings of the deep
springs below, blessings
of the breast and womb. (7)
26 Your father’s blessings are greater than the blessings of the ancient mountains, than the bounty of the age-old hills. Let all these rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince among his brothers.

16 “Dan
will provide justice for his
people as one of the tribes of
Israel. (7)
17 Dan will be a snake by the roadside, a viper along the path, that bites the horse’s heels so that its rider tumbles backward.

7 Cursed
be their anger, so fierce, and their fury, so cruel!
I will scatter them in and disperse them in Israel. (7)
8 “Judah, your brothers will praise you; your hand will be
on the neck of your enemies; your father’s sons
will bow down to you.
9 You are a lion’s cub, Judah; you return from the prey, my son. Like a lion he crouches and lies down, like a lioness—who dares to rouse him?

were buried, there Isaac
and his wife Rebekah were buried, and there I buried Leah. (4)
32 The field and the
cave in it were bought from the Hittites.”

22 “Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine near a spring, whose branches climb over a wall. (4)
23 With bitterness archers attacked him; they shot at him with hostility.
24 But his bow remained steady, his strong arms stayed limber, because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,

the sheep pens.
15 When he sees how good is his resting place and how pleasant is his land, he will bend his shoulder to the burden and submit to forced labor.

weapons of violence.
6 Let me not enter their council, let me not join their assembly, for they have killed men in their anger and hamstrung oxen as they pleased.

369
28 All
these are the twelve tribes of Israel,
and this is what their father said to them when he blessed them, giving each
the blessing appropriate to him. (1)
The Death of Jacob
29 Then he gave them
these instructions: “I am about to be
gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave in the field of
Ephron the Hittite,
30 the cave in the
field of Machpelah, near Mamre in Canaan, which Abraham bought along with the
field as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite.

19 “Gad
will be attacked by a band of
raiders, but he will attack them at their heels. (1)
20 “Asher’s food will be rich; he will provide
delicacies fit for a king.
21 “Naphtali is a doe set free that bears
beautiful fawns.
138
10 The scepter will not depart
from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from
between his feet, until he to whom it belongs
shall come and the obedience of the nations shall be his. (1)
11 He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch; he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.
12 His eyes will be darker than wine, his teeth whiter than milk.

Jacob Blesses His
Sons
1 Then Jacob
called for his sons and said: “Gather around so I can tell you what will happen to
you in days to come. (1)
2 “Assemble and
listen, sons of Jacob; listen to your
father Israel.
3 “Reuben, you are my Firstborn, My Might, the First Sign of My Strength, Excelling in Honor, Excelling in Power.
