“The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven have been given to you, but not to them”
The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed.
The kingdom of heavenis like yeast
The Son of Man sows the good seed, the field is the world, and the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom
The Son of Man will send out his angels to weed out of the kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
The righteous will shine like the son in the kingdom of their Father
The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field
The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls
The kingdom of heaven is like a net that caught all kinds of fish

He withdrew by boat to a solitary place (after hearing John the Baptist beheading)
The crowds followed him on foot
He had compassion on them and healed the sick
“They do not need to go away. ….Bring them here to me”
He gave thanks and broke the loaves.
He fed 5,000 men (plus women and children)
“Take courage! It is I. Dont be afraid”
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. (Peter)
All who touched him were healed

What goes into a mans’ mouth doesnt make him “unclean”, but what comes out does.
Made the mute speak, the crippled well, the lame walk, and the blind see.
Feeds the 4,000
Peter says “you are the Son of the living God” and Jesus confirms.
Whoever wants to save his life will loose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. What good would it be for man to gain the whole world and loose his soul.
