<br>That priests that serve in temples are<br>Violating, though innocent? ’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">‘There’s something more than temple here.<br>If you had known what was meant by<br>‘Not sacrifice, I desire mercy, <br>You would not condemn such things done.<br>The Son of Man’s, Lord of Sabbath! ’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then, Jesus went into the synagogue.<br>There was a man with withered hand; <br>Is it right curing on Sabbath? <br>They asked to accuse Him therefore.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then Jesus asked, ‘If your sheep fell<br>On Sabbath day, into a pit, <br>Would you not lift it out at once? ’<br>‘Is not man’s life more valuable? <br>’Tis lawful doing good on Sabbath day.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">He told the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’<br>The man did so and was restored.<br>The Pharisees then decided<br>To wait and then, put Him to death.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">As Jesus knew their evil plan, <br>He left that place to another.<br>And many followed Him with faith<br>And Jesus cured their illnesses.<br>He warned them not to publicize.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">This was to fulfill what was said<br>By prophet Isaiah before: <br>‘Behold my servant I’ve chosen<br>My beloved, in whom I delight<br>I’ll place my Spirit upon Him; <br>He’ll bestow justice to Gentiles.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">‘He’ll not contend or cry out and<br>His voice will not echo in streets; <br>A bruised reed, He will not break; <br>A burning wick, He’ll not put out, <br>Until He turns victorious, <br>And in His name, Gentiles will hope.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">They brought to Him, a demoniac, <br>Who was blind too and also mute.<br>He cured the person immediately; <br>He started speaking and could see.<br>The crowd was astounded and asked, <br>‘Could this be perhaps, David’s Son? ’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">But Pharisees remarked, ‘This man<br>Drives out the demons by the pow’r<br>Of Beelzebul, prince of demons! ’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">As Jesus knew what they had thought, <br>He said to them, ‘A kingdom that’s<br>Divided will be laid to waste; <br>A house divided cannot stand; <br>If Satan can drive out one more, <br>How can his kingdom ever stand? <br>And if I drive the demons out<br>Through Beelzebul, by whom do you? <br>I drive out demons with God’s help, <br>The Holy Spirit assists me! <br>God’s kingdom shall be upon you.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">‘How can one steal a strong man’s house unless, <br>He ties the man up before he plunders? <br>Whoev’r is not with me is against me; <br>Whoev’r that does not gather, then scatters.<br>Every sin will be forgiven people, <br>But sin against the spirit will not be.<br>Whoever speaks against the Son of Man<br>Will also be forgiven without fuss; <br>Who speaks against the Holy Spirit won’t<br>Be forgiven now or in age to come.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">‘The tree is known by fruits, it shall put forth; <br>Either the tree is good and so is fruit<br>Or rotten tree producing just bad fruits.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">‘You brood of vipers, how can you talk good<br>Things when your heart is filled with evil-hood? <br>For, speaks the mouth from fullness of the heart.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">‘The good from good person comes from like store.<br>An evil person delivers evil; <br>On Judgment Day, each one renders account<br>For every careless word, he spoke in life; <br>By your words, you’ll be acquitted, condemned.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Some of the scribes and Pharisees then said, <br>‘Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.’<br>Then Jesus told, ‘A sign, an unfaithful<br>And evil generation seeks but then, <br>They will be given none except the one: <br>The sign of Jonah, prophet that all know; <br>Just as how Jonah stayed in fish’s belly, <br>For three days and three nights, so will the Son<br>Of man, be inside the heart of the earth.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">‘On Judgment day, Nineveh’s men will rise, <br>Because they heard Jonah and repented; <br>The queen of south will likewise then arise, <br>Because she heard King Solomon’s wisdom.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">‘When unclean spirit leaves a person, then <br>It roams through regions but cannot find rest, <br>And so returns to home that it had left; <br>It finds it empty, clean and in order; <br>It goes to bring back seven worse spirits, <br>And thus the person’s condition worsens; <br>Thus will this evil generation be.’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">While speaking thus, his mother, brothers came, <br>And wished to speak to Him most urgently; <br>But Jesus asked, ‘Who’s my mother, brothers? ’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">‘He showed His hand at His own disciples<br>And said, ‘Here are my brothers and mother! <br>Whoever does the will of my Father, <br> Is my mother, my sister and brother! ’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Copyright by Dr John Celes 6-1-2007</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=John+Celes">John Celes</a><div class=q>
