Matthew 26:17–30 follows the preparation for Passover, Jesus’ warning about betrayal, and the institution of the Lord’s Supper. The study considers self-examination, the meaning of the bread and cup, and the new covenant established through Christ’s sacrifice.
Matthew 26:31–46 contrasts the disciples’ confident promises with Jesus’ dependence on the Father in Gethsemane. The study examines the cup before Him, surrender to God’s will, and the need to watch and pray when the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
Matthew 26:47–56 follows Judas’ betrayal and Jesus’ arrest in Gethsemane. Jesus refuses to defend Himself through violence or angelic rescue, willingly submitting so that the Scriptures are fulfilled while His disciples flee.
Matthew 26:57–75 contrasts Jesus’ testimony before the high priest with Peter’s repeated denials outside. The study considers Christ’s identity, the danger of self-confidence and compromise, and the path from failure toward repentance and restoration.
Matthew 27:1–26 examines Judas’ regret and death, then follows the innocent Jesus before Pilate. The study considers the difference between regret and repentance, the choice between Jesus and Barabbas, and the failure of trying to avoid responsibility for rejecting Christ.
Matthew 27:27–44 follows the soldiers’ mockery, Jesus’ crucifixion, and the insults directed at Him on the cross. The study considers the fulfillment of prophecy and the personal response called for by the suffering King.
Matthew 27:45–56 examines the darkness, Jesus’ cry of abandonment, and His death on the cross. The torn veil, opened graves, soldiers’ confession, and faithful women reveal the significance of His sacrifice and the responses of those who witnessed it.
Matthew 27:57–66 follows Joseph of Arimathea as he publicly identifies with Jesus and places His body in a tomb. The study considers Christ’s completed sacrifice and the leaders’ efforts to secure the grave against His promise to rise again.
Matthew 28 proclaims the empty tomb and the risen Jesus, contrasting the witnesses’ joy with the cover story promoted by His opponents. The study closes with Christ’s authority and His commission to make disciples, baptize, and teach with the assurance of His presence.
A verse-by-verse study of Mark 1:1–13 focusing on Baptism, Faith, Holy Spirit, and Repentance.
Mark 1:14–45 follows Jesus’ call to repent and believe, His invitation to the first disciples, and His teaching with authority. The study considers His power over demons, sickness, and uncleanness as He ministers to people throughout Galilee.
Mark 2:1–22 examines Jesus’ authority to forgive sins, His call to Levi, and His welcome of sinners. The questions about fasting and new wineskins point to life under the new covenant, where righteousness comes through Christ rather than religious performance.
Mark 2:23–3:12 examines the Sabbath disputes as Jesus’ disciples gather grain and He heals a man with a withered hand. The study contrasts religious rules that harden hearts with the compassion of Christ, who meets people in their need.
Mark 3:13–35 follows Jesus choosing the twelve, answering accusations about His power, and identifying those who do God’s will as His family. The study emphasizes His call of ordinary people to share the gospel and the need to respond to Him without divided allegiance.
Mark 4:1–20 examines the parable of the sower and the different responses to God’s word. The study considers hearts hardened against the gospel, faith without roots, the distraction of worldly cares, and fruitful lives that receive and understand the truth.
Mark 4:21–41 examines the lamp, the measure, the growing seed, and the mustard seed before following the disciples into a storm. The study connects hearing and sharing God’s word with trusting Jesus, who has authority over the wind and waves.
Mark 5 follows Jesus delivering a demon-possessed man, healing a woman who had suffered for twelve years, and raising Jairus’ daughter. The study contrasts compromise with faith and points people facing very different trials to the same answer: Jesus.
Mark 6:1–29 follows Jesus’ rejection in His hometown, the sending of the twelve, and the death of John the Baptist. The study considers responding to Christ’s message, serving despite rejection, and the difference between regret over consequences and genuine repentance.
Mark 6:30–56 follows Jesus feeding the five thousand, walking across the sea, and healing those who come to Him. The study considers His provision, the disciples’ struggle to understand, and the importance of bringing people back to Jesus and His word.
Mark 7:1–23 confronts traditions that claim religious authority while setting aside God’s commands. Jesus shows that defilement begins within the heart, challenging worship that speaks the right words but remains far from God.
