Thematic Bible: Of the disciples


Thematic Bible



Jesus said, "Are you still so ignorant?

How can you fail to understand that I wasn't talking to you about bread? Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!"



But they didn't know what this meant. Indeed, the meaning was hidden from them so that they didn't understand it; and they were afraid to ask him about this statement.

But they didn't understand any of this. What he said was hidden from them, and they didn't know what he meant.


It was the evening of the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Jesus came and stood among them. He told them, "Peace be with you."

They asked him, "You were born a sinner and you are trying to instruct us?" And they threw him out.

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, since the Jewish leaders had already agreed that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be thrown out of the synagogue.
