  1. Jesus, The Son of God A Chronological and Geographical Study of the Life of Christ Part V

  2. Chronological and geographical review:

  3. Jesus’ first general tour of Galilee: • Jesus travels to Nazareth from Samaria. He preaches in the synagogue pronouncing His deity (Lk. 4:16-21). • Jesus travels to Cana of Galilee and heals the Nobleman’s son (Jn. 4:43-54). • To Capernaum (Lk. 4:31-32). • To the Sea of Galilee (5:1). • Jesus calls James (the sixth apostle) to follow Him (Matt. 4:20-21). • The six disciples now following Jesus are Peter, James, John, Philip, Nathaniel and Andrew.

  4. Why so much time in Galilee? • Matthew 4:24 • Jesus spent approximately two thirds of His time preaching in Galilee. • Matthew quotes Isaiah the prophet regarding the matter (Matt. 4:15-16). • Mark simply records Jesus’ Galilean ministry as a matter of historical fact. • Luke states, “And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee; and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about” (Luke 4:14). • Jesus may have been avoiding the growing hostility in Judea. • The fact that eleven of the twelve disciples were from Galilee. Judas was the one from Judea which may say something about the over all interest in the coming of the Messiah.

  5. The Galilean ministry:A Time of Controversy • Jesus under the magnifying glass of scrutiny (Mark 2:1-28). • Matthew makes the 8th disciple. • A brief break in the Galilean Ministry (Jn. 5:1ff). • Jesus returns to Capernaum and heals a man on the Sabbath (Mark 3:1-6) (tension mounting)

  6. Two momentum’s building: • The fame of Jesus is growing. Knowledge of the miracles performed were spread by eye witnesses. • The Mounting hatred on the part of the scribes and Pharisees. Jesus “stole the show” from these hypocrites. On one occasion, Jesus said, “Woe unto you Pharisees! For ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the marketplaces.”

  7. The Sermon on the Mount • Jesus selects the remaining 12 disciples (Mark 3:13-19). • Matthew records the sermon (5-7). • Mark does not mention the sermon • Luke records the sermon immediately after choosing the 12 disciples. • John does not record the sermon.

  8. The Sermon on the Mount • All three of the synoptic writers agree that Jesus had retired to the mountains after the Sabbath controversies. • All three record the massive following of Jesus at this time (cf. Matt. 5:1). • R. C. Foster said of the sermon, “it is the greatest statement ever made on the general subject of religion and morals… the sermon presents the highest ideas of living the world has ever received, in the most beautiful language ever conceived.”

  9. A brief outline of the Sermon on the Mount: • One man has said, “the greatest of all sins is to be conscious of none.” (cf. Lev. 11:44; I Pet. 1:13-22). • The Sermon on the Mount challenges its readers to evaluate one’s current conduct. • Precision of holiness is demanded in the sermon (Matt. 5:21-22, 27-28). • “Jesus emphasized the inner life, making the thought and intent to do evil as sinful as the deed itself” (Foster 467).

  10. Back to Capernaum: • A demonstration of understanding and faith in the authority of Jesus (Luke 7:1-10). • Jesus travels to Nain of Galilee (Lk. 7:11-17). • Apparently, while in Nain, Jesus is invited to eat in the home of a Pharisee (Lk. 7:36-50).

  11. Geography Review:

  12. Conclusion and review: • Jesus completes the first of three general tours of Galilee. • Growing hostility is mounting. • The fame of the Lord is spreading. • The day of His sacrifice grows closer.
