  you doing it for me? And when you held feasts,

  expecting something in return. It is one of the
  cornerstones of the Jewish religions.

20

• How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and
  Pharisees! You hypocrites! You give to God one
  tenth even of the seasoning herbs, such as mint,
  dill, and cumin, but you neglect to obey the
  really important teachings of the Law, such as
  justice and mercy and honesty. These you should
  practice, without neglecting the others.
  (Matthew 2323)

21

• Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I
  love, in whom I delight I will put my Spirit on
  him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
  He will not quarrel or cry out no one will hear
  his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will
  not break, and a smoldering wick he will not
  snuff out, till he leads justice to victory.
  (Matthew 1218-20 NIV)

22

• God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement,
  through faith in his blood. He did this to
  demonstrate his justice, because in his
  forbearance he had left the sins committed
  beforehand unpunishedhe did it to demonstrate
  his justice at the present time, so as to be just
  and the one who justifies those who have faith in
  Jesus. (Romans 325-26 NIV)

23

• God offered him, so that by his blood he should
  become the means by which people's sins are
  forgiven through their faith in him. God did this
  in order to demonstrate that he is righteous. In
  the past he was patient and overlooked people's
  sins but in the present time he deals with their
  sins, in order to demonstrate his righteousness.
  In this way God shows that he himself is
  righteous and that he puts right everyone who
  believes in Jesus. (Romans 325 GN)

• The angel who had been speaking to me came again
  and roused me as if I had been sleeping. What do
  you see? he asked. A lampstand made of gold, I
  answered. At the top is a bowl for the oil. On
  the lampstand are seven lamps, each one with
  places for seven wicks. There are two olive trees
  beside the lampstand, one on each side of it.
  Then I asked the angel, What do these things
  stand for, sir? Don't you know? he asked me.
  No, I dont, sir. (Zechariah 41-5)

27

• The angel told me to give Zerubbabel this
  message from the LORD You will succeed, not by
  military might or by your own strength, but by my
  spirit. Obstacles as great as mountains will
  disappear before you. You will rebuild the
  Temple, and as you put the last stone in place,
  the people will shout, Beautiful, beautiful!
  (Zechariah 46,7)

28

• Then I asked him, What do the two olive trees
  on either side of the lampstand mean? And what is
  the meaning of the two branches of the olive
  trees that feed oil to the lamps--what do they
  mean? He asked me, Don't you know? No, I
  don't, sir, I answered. Then he said, These are
  the two men whom God has chosen and anointed to
  serve him, the Lord of the whole earth.
  (Zechariah 411-14)

  Even now the true worshipers are being led by the
  Spirit to worship the Father according to the

  worship God must be led by the Spirit to worship
  him according to the truth. (John 423-24 CEV)

  on the lampstand, where it gives light for
  everyone in the house. In the same way your light
  must shine before people, so that they will see
  the good things you do and praise your Father in
  heaven. (Matthew 514-16 GN)

• He drives out demons only because their ruler
  Beelzebul gives him power to do so. Jesus knew
  what they were thinking No, it is not
  Beelzebul, but God's Spirit, who gives me the
  power to drive out demons, which proves that the
  Kingdom of God has already come upon youFor this
  reason I tell you people can be forgiven any sin
  and any evil thing they say but whoever says
  evil things against the Holy Spirit will not be
  forgiven. Anyone who says something against the
  Son of Man can be forgiven but whoever says
  something against the Holy Spirit will not be
  forgiven---now or ever. (Matthew 1217-35)
