I tell you, Nay; but rather division:For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

Jesus’ ministry: callings, miracles and teachings

  • The sower

    La parabole du semeur, racontée par Jésus au bord du lac de Galilée, illustre comment la Parole de Dieu est reçue différemment selon la disposition du cœur. Elle montre quatre types de réceptivité à travers les sols variés où tombent les graines. Les disciples apprennent que les paraboles révèlent le Royaume à ceux qui écoutent avec des cœurs ouverts, mais restent cachées à ceux qui sont endurcis. Cette méthode pédagogique unique de Jésus souligne l'importance de la foi et de l'écoute spirituelle.

    Luke 8.4-15 (King James Version) :
    And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

  • The new cloth and the new wineskins

    L'article décrit la parabole du drap neuf et des outres neuves dans les Évangiles, illustrant l'incompatibilité de l'enseignement de Jésus avec les anciennes pratiques religieuses. Il met en évidence la symbolique du vin nouveau et des vieilles outres pour expliquer la nouveauté du Royaume de Dieu que Christ apporte.

    Matthew 9.16-17 (King James Version) :
    No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
