John 14:6😊❤ Matthew 15:1-9(Traditions and commandments) "15 Then Pharisees and Scribes came to Jesus(Jesus😊1st❤) from Jerusalem and said, 2 " Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eats." 3 He(Jesus😊1st❤) answered them, " And Why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, ' Honor your father and your mother, ' and, ' Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.' 5 But you say, ' If anyone tells his father or his mother, " What you would have gained from me is given to God," 6 he need not to honor his father.' So for sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God. 7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said: 8 " ' This people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; 9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.' " "( Matthew 15:1-9 ESV Study Bible) Philippians 4:4😊❤ -7😊 ❤

( Terah( Abraham's dad) had made a wrong choice because where he settled is where he died also in Genesis 11:32 "32 The days of Terah( Abram's dad or Abraham 's dad) were 205 years( shorter in age at their time remember to die), and Terah died in Haran."( Genesis 11:32 ESV Study Bible and above meant to share Genesis 11:31-32 ESV Study Bible) Back to Genesis 29:4 "4 Jacob said to them, " My brothers, where do you come from?"

Amen. Thank you God😊100%❤ for Abram didn't settle in Haran. In Jesus'name, i pray( Genesis 12:1-3😊❤; Matthew 28:19-20😊❤). Amen. Back to Genesis 29:4-8 Genesis 29:4 "4 Jacob said to them, " My brothers, where do you come from?" They said, " We are from Haran." 5 He( Jacob😊❤) said to them, " Do you know Laban( Jacob's uncle) the son of Nahor( please read Genesis 11:26 ) ?"

The stone is rolled remember me about Matthew 28:2 and Matthew 28:1-10( The Resurrection) of my Lord Jesus😊❤ in Christ. On how God sent an angel of the Lord to rolled back the stone and sat down. The Bible said in Matthew 28:2 "2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for angel😊❤ of the Lord😊❤ descended( d" descended" means came down) from heaven( 😊❤ or God😊100%❤) and came😊❤ and rolled😊❤ back😊❤ the stone😊❤ and sat on it " ( Matthew 28:2 ESV Study Bible ( the angel😊❤sat on " it" = Jesus' tomb= "it". The angel sat on it here i think in Christ. ) In Jesus'name, i pray( praise God😊❤ for the angel😊❤ of the Lord😊❤ that came from God or heaven to roll back the stone and sat on it. I remember the Jesus' Show we had watched from the past also describe Matthew 28:2😊❤ too so good😊❤in Jesus our Lord( Jesus😊1st❤) and our savior( Jesus😊1st❤)'s resurrection power of hope in Jesus' resurrection. In Jesus'name, i pray( Matthew 28:1-2😊❤ and Jesus' resurrection from Matthew 28:1-10( The Resurrection 😊❤ ) of Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord in Christ; Mark 16:1-8( The Resurrection😊❤ ) of Jesus😊1st❤; Luke 24:1-12( The Resurrection😊❤) of my Lord, Jesus😊1st❤; John 20:1-10( The Resurrection😊❤) of Jesus😊1st❤ from ESV Study Bible in Christ too.

Matthew 14:13-21(Jesus 😊1st❤ the five thousand) "13 Now when Jesus(😊1st❤) heard this, he(Jesus) withdrawl from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When he(Jesus😊1st❤) went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion😊❤ on them(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤...about five thousand(5000) men besides women and children from Matthew 14:21b ESV Study Bible) and healed their sick. 15 Now when it was evening😊❤, the disciples(12) came to him(Jesus😊1st❤) and said, " This is a desolate place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the village and buy food for themselves." 16 But 😊❤ Jesus😊1st❤ said 😊❤, " They❤ need not to go away; you give them something to eat." 17 They( Jesus' disciples) said to him(Jesus😊1st❤), " We have only five( 5 ) loaves( breads) and two fish." 18 And he (Jesus😊1st❤) said, " Bring them ( 5 loaves of breads and 2 fish )to me." 19 Then he (Jesus😊1st❤) ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five(5) loaves and two(2) fish, he( Jesus😊1st❤) looked up( Jesus😊1st❤ "looked up😊❤", not looking down at the 5 breads +2 fish = 7 things😊❤ but he(Jesus😊1st❤) looked up😊❤ You might ask why Jesus looked up to who 😊100%❤? or to where😊❤ ? ) to heaven😊❤ and said😊❤ a blessing😊❤. ..."( ESV Study Bible) ( Jesus "said a blessing😊❤. ..."(Matthew 14:19 middle of the verse) Now today in Christ, do you also give thanks to God(😊100%❤) with a blessing for the food like many faithful ones in Christ also do before their( our) eating today? Do you pray today before eating in Christ at home with your children or outside eating in any place too the question do you look up to heaven and thank God😊100%❤ too for the food too? Do you have also a grateful heart like Jesus😊1st❤. He looked up to heaven and not look down at the 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish from the boy. Today wherever you are, do also you look up heaven to God 😊100%❤ and said a blessing like Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior too ? before you eat? ). Back to Matthew 14:19 b -14:21 " ... Then he(Jesus😊1st❤) broke the loaves(5 loaves of breads) and gave( who did Jesus😊1st❤ give the 5 loaves of bread to? ) them( 12 disciples) to the disciples( see😊❤), and( who did the disciples gave it to? ) the disciples(12) gave😊❤ them( 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish too imply here in Christ) to the crowds😊❤. 20( a) And they( "they" you might ask who are they? " About five thousand(5000) men besides women and children." (Matthew 14:21b ESV Study Bible) It makes sense just imagine 5000 men or people and of course there were women and children too following Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior in Christ. . Imagine in where you live only seeing 5000 men without women and children doesn't make senses so therefore the Bible makes sense in Christ. Walk out do you only see men? Or men, women and children too? So Matthew 14:21,21b make senses in Christ) Again back to Matthew 14: 20-21 "20And they all " all" means "all") ate😊❤ and were satified😊❤."( ESV Study Bible) ( Jesus looked up to heaven, said a blessing and gave to his disciples to share😊❤ with the crowd and they all ate and satified now today are you😊❤ satified today in Christ? ). "And they took up twelves baskets full of the broken pieces left over( "left over" = extra or more than enough or abundance to" left over" Jesus feeds the five thousand men beside women and children they❤ all ate😊❤ and satified 😊❤ and last verse Bible interpret Bible verse? How many people did Jesus😊1st❤ feed all together?("... about five thousand men, beside women and children in Matthew 14:21b ESV Study Bible. So more than 5000 just like there 12 basket full( extra) of the broken piece left over( left over= more than enough or extra in Christ ) "21 And those who ate were about five thousand men😊❤ , beside women😊❤ and children😊❤."( above all in all were Matthew 14:13-21 ESV Study Bible and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus😊1st❤ learning in Christ😊❤. Do you today also have a naturao habit in Christ to pray to God or give thanks to God(😊100%❤) and said a blessing😊❤ like Jesus😊1st❤did he looked up 😊❤ to heaven😊❤ and said 😊❤ a blessing😊❤ for the food before pass it out sharing to His disciples and before eating ?

Genesis 27:34-35 " 34 As soon as Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry and said to his father, " Blessed me, even me also. O my father! " But Esau said, " Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me these two times. He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing." Then he said, " Have you not reserved a blessing for me?" 37 Isaac😊❤ answered and said to Esau, " Behold, I have made him lord over you, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants, and with grain and wine I have sustained himm what then can I do for you, my son? 28 Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also. O my father." And Essau lifted up voice and wept. 39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him: " Behold, away from the fateness of the earth shall you dwelling be, and away from the dew of heaven on high. 40 By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother; but when you grow restless you shall break his yoke from your neck." 41 Now Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his fathe( Isaac) had blessed him, and Esau said to himself, " The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob." 42 But the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah😊❤, so she sent and called Jacob😊❤ her younger son and said❤ to him( Jacob😊❤), " Behold, your brother Esau comfort himself about you by planning to kill you. 43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice 😊❤. Arise, flee😊❤ to Laban ( Rebekah's older brother = Jacob' s uncle= Laban) my brother in Haran. 44 and stay with him a while, until your brother's fury turns away- 45 until your brother's anger turn away from you( Jacob😊❤), and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send and bring you( Jacob😊❤= later on in the future will called by God with new named called Israel😊❤) from there. Why should I be bereft you both in one day? " 46 Then Rebekah😊❤ to Isaac😊❤, " I loathe my life because if the Hittite women. If Jacob married one of the Hittite women like these, one of the women of the land, what good will my life be to me? " "( Genesis 27:30-46 ESV Study Bible) in Jesus'name, i pray( Matthew 5:1-12😊❤and Matthew 5:43-48,48😊❤ ) Amen.
