John 8
8.11 ...sin no more...
8.16 ...if... It would be good to look up what kind of conditional clause that it.
8.29 I always... I would like to say that.
8.32 ...we have never been enslaved... What could they possibly mean by this? especially as a Roman province. Pat is fond of saying something like You pick your master, but everybody has one.
8.41 They seem to think that because they were not born illegitimately, their father is God.
8.48 I can't help but wonder if this verse weren't in the back of Jesus' mind when he told the parable of the good Samaritan. :o)
8.59 They picked up stones to stone Him. They seemed to have a pretty clear idea of what He was saying about Himself.
Chrysostom in Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles 4
...For wherever the Holy Spirit is present, people of clay are changed into people of gold.
Acts 16
16.3 As strongly as Paul spoke against the Judaizers and the "mutilation of the flesh," it is both curious and instructive that Paul had Timothy circumcised.
16.8 they went
16.10 we sought
16.18 ...and Paul having become greatly annoyed... It set my mind to wondering to thing that being annoyed would be the motivation for "healing" someone.
16.25 I can imagine an album, "Songs from Philippi" or "Paul's Prison Favorites" if it were today. :o)
1 Peter 1
1.12 ...things into which angels long to look. You tend to think of angels as being almost omniscient. What a privilege we have.
1.22 Having purified your souls by obedience t the truth... the purifying effects of obedience.
John 20
20.22 receive the Holy Spirit...
20.25 unless I see... I am concerned about what one statement of mine will characterize me and what people will remember me by.
Cyril of Alexandria in Commentary on the Gospel of St. John 12.1
When Christ greeted his holy disciples with the words, "Peace be with you," by peace He meant Himself, for Christ's presence always brings tranquility of soul. This is the grace Saint Paul desired for believers when he wrote, "The Peace of Christ which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds." The peace of Christ which passes all understanding is in fact the Spirit of Christ, who fills those who share in him with every blessing.
2 Chronicles 24
24.1 Joash was seven years old ...
24.2 and Joash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada... 1. What an amazing thing for Jehoiada did for Joash and the country. 2. How sad that Joash had so little spiritual fortitude and went bad after Jehoiada.
24.9 to bring in for the Lord the tax... an interesting word for what is called a tithe.
24.15 130 years...
24.22 May the Lord see and avenge. This is a little different than the "Lord, do not hold this sin against them."
