Thematic Bible: Of the disciples


Thematic Bible



“Are even you still lacking in understanding?” He asked.

Why is it you don’t understand that when I told you, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,’ it wasn’t about bread?”



But they did not understand this statement; it was concealed from them so that they could not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not grasp what was said.


In the evening of that first day of the week, the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because of their fear of the Jews. Then Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!”

“You were born entirely in sin,” they replied, “and are you trying to teach us?” Then they threw him out.

His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews, since the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him as Messiah, he would be banned from the synagogue.
