Reading through Matthew's Gospel in Lent

Week 4: Saturday: Matthew 23

This very Jewish Chapter is transformed in The MESSAGE

23.4    This is also true of the Law generally, that it cannot help us conquer sin.
23.13  These Woes are the counterpart to the Beatitudes (Matthew 5): Luke puts the two together.
23.33  John the Baptist used this phrase also (Matthew 3.7)
23.34  Is not Jesus speaking prophetically here, on behalf of the Father?
Thank you Jesus, for bearing the full force of suffering for us.
