The Life of Christ Lesson 5 – From Judea to Galilee Retiring to Galilee – Matthew 4:12, 17; Mark 1:14-15; Luke 3:19-20; Luke 4:14-15; John 4:1-54 Preaching in Capernaum – Matthew 4:13-16, 18-25; 8:14- 17; Mark 1:16-39; Luke 4:31-44; 5:1-11
Jesus’ 2nd Miracle Jesus’ instructions: John 4:46-54 Jesus’ 2nd Miracle Jesus’ instructions: “Go on your way; your son lives.” The nobleman’s response: He “believed” and “started off.” His slaves met him and told him his son lived. He asked about when “he began to get better.” His slaves told him the specific hour the “fever left him.” Not gradual.
Preaching In Capernaum Matthew 4:13-25 Preaching In Capernaum Fulfillment of prophecy: Isaiah 9:1-2 (Luke 2:32) His message: Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Prophecies of Jesus’ light: Isaiah 42:1-9; 49:1-7; Acts 13:47; 26:23
Preaching In Capernaum Matthew 4:13-25; Luke 5:1-11 Preaching In Capernaum Jesus first calls his Apostles: Peter, Andrew, James and John. Not their first encounter with Jesus. John 1:35-42 Jesus’ invitation: “Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men.” Not the first time Jesus’ asked men to “Follow Me” (John 1:43) – the first time with a task to do.
Preaching In Capernaum Matthew 4:13-25; Luke 5:1-11 Preaching In Capernaum Andrew and Peter; “they immediately left the nets, and followed him.” (Matthew 8:14) Jesus and the miraculous catch. (Luke 5:1-9) Peter’s reaction to the miracle: “Depart from me Lord, for I am a sinful man!” Mans reaction to being in the presence of God.
