  • PER128 The parable of the lamp under a bushel

    The parable of the lamp under a basket teaches Jesus' disciples to let their spiritual light shine by living exemplary lives. This means living in a way that strengthens the divine light and encourages others to do likewise, drawing inspiration from the Gospels.

    Luke 11.33-36 (King James Version) :
    No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

  • PER139 The parable of the lamp under a bushel

    This article analyzes the parable of the lamp under a basket, explored in the Gospels. It emphasizes the importance of divine light for the disciple, showing how the Messiah Jesus uses this metaphor to illuminate divine truth and urge the disciples to be visible witnesses to their faith, while themselves remaining illuminated by the light of Christ.

    John 3.19-21 (King James Version) :
    And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Contradictions

  • CTD019 Jesus' testimony?

    The article 'CTD019 - Jesus' testimony?' examines an alleged contradiction in the Gospel of John concerning Jesus' testimony. Jesus acknowledges human legal standards but emphasises the divine truth of his identity. In John 5,31, he aligns himself with human criteria for truthfulness, while in John 8,14, he affirms the validity of his divine testimony.

    John 8.12 (King James Version) :
    Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Peter's ministry

  • ADA022 The appearance before the Sanhedrin

    Exegetical study of Acts 5.27-33, which relates the appearance of the apostles before the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem. Faced with the accusations of Caiaphas, Peter declares with confidence that obedience to God takes precedence over obedience to men, and announces that Jesus, crucified and risen, is exalted as Prince and Savior to grant repentance and forgiveness to Israel. A foundational episode of the apostolic mission.

    Matthew 10.17-20 (King James Version) :
    But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

  • ADA024 The surprising reaction of the apostles

    After being flogged by the Sanhedrin, the apostles react in a surprising way, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy to suffer for the name of Jesus. Far from being discouraged, they continue their ministry every day in the Temple and in the houses, teaching and announcing the good news. Luke shows that persecutions, far from stopping the Gospel, paradoxically contribute to its progress.

    Colossians 4.15 (King James Version) :
    Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
