2	MINISTRY OF JESUS ONLY TO THE SAVED Matthew 10:5-6 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost (straying) sheep of the house of Israel. FEED THE SHEEP Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost (straying) sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
3	WHO ARE THE LOST SHEEP? Matthew 18:12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? Luke 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. 1 Peter 2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock (disciples); for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
4	MINISTRY TO GENTILES MESSAGE OF THE KINGDOM WAS NOT GIVEN TO GENTILES. GENTILES WERE HEALED Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman (Gentile from Canaan), great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. JESUS HEALED A CENTURION’S SERVANT Matthew 8:5-7,13 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
5	THOSE GIVEN EARS TO HEAR CAN KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM Matthew 13:9-11 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. 10 And the disciples came, … Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them (that do not have ears to hear) it is not given. THEY CAN HEAR THE WORD OF GOD Luke 8:8-11 … when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? 10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God:.. 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Luke 11:28 ... blessed are they that hear [present active] the word of God, and keep [obey, present active] it.
6	THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD THE NATION OF ISRAEL John 1:10-11 He was in the world [Israel], and the world was made by him, and the world [Israel] knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. NOT SENT TO THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. THE NATIONS OF WORLD There are times when the word “world” is a reference to the nations of the earth. Luke 12:30 For all these things (food and clothing) do the nations of the world seek after: Romans 11:12 Now if the fall of them [the nation of Israel] be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; CONTEXT IS AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION
7	THE WORLD THE NATION OF ISRAEL John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew [understand] him not. HE WAS SENT TO ONE NATION Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. GENTILE NATIONS EXCLUDED Matthew 10:5-6 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, … 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
8	GENDER, CASE, NUMBER GENDER: Masculine, Feminine, and Neuter. Words with the same gender could modify each other. Masculine words do not modify feminine word or neuter words. They must agree. CASE: Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, Vocative. Words with the same case are nouns and pronouns that could be associated with each other if their number agrees. This called “words that are in agreement”. NUMBER IN NOUNS, PRONOUNS, PARTICIPLES: Singular, Plural; VERBS: person: first, second, third; singular or plural. When studying the New Testament using the Greek Text you want to compare word with the same gender, case, number.

9	THE WORLD THE WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL John 1:10 He was in the world [masculine gender], and the world [masculine] was made [ginomia, aorist indicative, caused to be] by him, and the world [masculine] knew [ginwskw, aorist indicative, under-stood] him not.
10	THE WORLD THE WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL John 1:10 He was in the world [masculine gender], and the world [masculine] was made [ginomia, aorist indicative, caused to be] by him, and the world [masculine] knew [ginwskw, aorist indicative, under-stood] him not. THE WORLD, TO WHICH HE CAME John 18:20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world [masculine]; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews [masculine] always resort [assembled]; and in secret have I said nothing.

12	WHEN DID ISRAEL COME TO BE? NATIONS DIVIDED ACCORDING TO ISRAEL Deuteronomy 32:8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people (of Adam) according to the number of the children of Israel. SONS OF ADAM SEPARATED Genesis 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; … (after the tower of Babel) I SEEMS THAT ISRAEL CAME TO BE IN SHEM Genesis 9:26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem…(seed of Shem: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob)
13	HE CAME UNTO HIS OWN John 1:10-11 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world [masculine gender] knew him not. 11 He came unto his own [neuter gender], and his own [masculine gender] received him not. UNTO THE STRAYING SHEEP Matthew 10:6 But go rather to the lost (stray) sheep [neuter gender] of the house of Israel [masculine gender].
14	UNTO YOU, NOT TO OTHERS TWO AUDIENCES Luke 8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know [aorist, perceive] the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand [present active, send together]. JESUS TAUGHT USING PARABLES Matthew 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: PARABLES STIMULATE QUESTIONS Mark 4:10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. SOMETIMES “OTHERS” UNDERSTOOD Matthew 21:45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

THE WORD OF GOD IS THE SEED Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
27	BELIEVE, PRESENT TENSE, DEFINED BELIEVING, THE SPIRIT OF FAITH 2 Corinthians 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed [aorist, you start], and therefore have I spoken [aorist, confess what you believe]; we also believe [present, continue to believe], and therefore speak [present, continue to confess]; FROM THE WORD OF GOD, FAITH AND HOPE Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (mysteries of the kingdom).
