CHAPTER NINETEEN:
DIVORCE, SINGLENESS, AND RICH DIFFICULTIES
[“The Rich Last, the Poor First”]
(Key word: Kingdom)
Matthew 19:1-2 – From Galilee to Judah
|| Luke 9:51
MT19:1 And it occurred after Jesus had completed these words he departed Galilee and came into the area of Judea[1] on the other side of the Jordan river.[2] MT19:2 Large crowds followed Jesus[3] as he cured them there.
*
[1] Came into the area of Judea: The last chapter of Messiah’s life begins as he approaches Jerusalem. The prophet Daniel links Messiah’s end with the city of Jerusalem (Daniel 9:24-27).
[2] Jordan river: Where he began his ministry over three years before.
[3] Large crowds followed Jesus: News of this scene reaching the Jewish hierarchy must have cause much concern. The Roman occupiers could not ignore thousands of people following one man toward Jerusalem.
