Day 178

Matthew 12; Matthew 13; Matthew 14

Jesus proclaims himself Lord of the Sabbath and heals on the Sabbath day. He is accused of casting out devils through the power of Beelzebub. He speaks of blasphemy against the Holy Ghost and says that an evil and adulterous generation seeks signs. Jesus explains why he teaches with parables. He gives the parables of the sower, the wheat and the tares, the grain of mustard seed, the leaven, the treasure hidden in the field, the pearl of great price, and the net cast into the sea. A prophet is not honored by his own people. John the Baptist is beheaded. Jesus feeds the five thousand and walks on the sea. Those who touch the hem of his garment are made whole.
