Bible Question:
Why does this verse come here? V. 39 seems to connect to v. 41; they are both metaphorically talking about the eyes as related to hypocrisy. v. 40, however, seems to be saying something that's not related to the topic that 39 introduces. Any explanation for this? The same thing happens in v. 43. The word "For..." makes me think that this verse is linked to the previous section but the topics don't seem to be related. Any insight into this? Thanks! |
Bible Answer: Dear nthnobdvs These are the other places where your verses in question are located, maybe with both you can come to an understanding. You could also look at the point that they don't relate together, because they don't relate together. If you turn to the chapters you will see there are two different stories being told by two different authors. They are both relating the truth as far as what Christ said, but not in the events that we see related in the bible. If they were both relating the same story as it had really happened, wouldn't they be the same? What I am saying is that all of the words spoken by Jesus are true, they just don't fit together as one teaching by Jesus. Does that make any sense to you? In essence they are separate teachings? BLIND LEADING THE BLIND Mat 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Luk 6:39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? GOOD FRUIT-- BAD FRUIT Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Luk 6:43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Blessings YenIsaRap |
