9 Chapter Matthew and Romans salvation related bible study

 

            Here is a nine chapter bible study featuring six chapters in Matthew with the sermon on the mount, chapters 5 through 7, which include a lot of very powerful and direct teachings by Jesus, the last three which are the passion of Christ which shows what Jesus willingly went though for all of us to redeem us all from our sins, dying on the cross to redeem us from our sins. Then there are three chapters from Romans 3, 6, and 10 which give the gospel message there stating our need for a savior and what God has done to provide s savior.

To start this bible study, In Matthew chapters 5 through 7 which is the sermon of the mount, which is the most powerful sermon ever gives so much good advice of what to do and do not, to trust God for everything, and teaches how to pray, fast, give, act and so many other things. I am just going to present all three chapters together without comment in between so as not to interrupt the flow of this wonderful sermon which nobody can match

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

(Matthew 5:1)

 

And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

(Matthew 5:2)

 

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

(Matthew 5:3)

 

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

(Matthew 5:4)

 

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

(Matthew 5:5)

 

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

(Matthew 5:6)

 

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

(Matthew 5:7)

 

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

(Matthew 5:8)

 

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

(Matthew 5:9)

 

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

(Matthew 5:10)

 

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

(Matthew 5:11)

 

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

(Matthew 5:12)

 

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

(Matthew 5:13)

 

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

(Matthew 5:14)

 

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

(Matthew 5:15)

 

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

(Matthew 5:16)

 

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

(Matthew 5:17)

 

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

(Matthew 5:18)

 

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

(Matthew 5:19)

 

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

(Matthew 5:20)

 

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

(Matthew 5:21)

 

But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

(Matthew 5:22)

 

Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

(Matthew 5:23)

 

Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

(Matthew 5:24)

 

Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

(Matthew 5:25)

 

Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

(Matthew 5:26)

 

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

(Matthew 5:27)

 

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

(Matthew 5:28)

 

And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

(Matthew 5:29)

 

And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

(Matthew 5:30)

 

It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

(Matthew 5:31)

 

But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

(Matthew 5:32)

 

Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

(Matthew 5:33)

 

But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:

(Matthew 5:34)

 

Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

(Matthew 5:35)

 

Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

(Matthew 5:36)

 

But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

(Matthew 5:37)

 

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

(Matthew 5:38)

 

But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

(Matthew 5:39)

 

And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

(Matthew 5:40)

 

And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

(Matthew 5:41)

 

Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

(Matthew 5:42)

 

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

(Matthew 5:43)

 

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

(Matthew 5:44)

 

That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

(Matthew 5:45)

 

For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

(Matthew 5:46)

 

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

(Matthew 5:47)

 

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

(Matthew 5:48)

 

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

(Matthew 6:1)

 

Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

(Matthew 6:2)

 

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

(Matthew 6:3)

 

That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

(Matthew 6:4)

 

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

(Matthew 6:5)

 

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

(Matthew 6:6)

 

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

(Matthew 6:7)

 

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

(Matthew 6:8)

 

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

(Matthew 6:9)

 

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

(Matthew 6:10)

 

Give us this day our daily bread.

(Matthew 6:11)

 

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

(Matthew 6:12)

 

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

(Matthew 6:13)

 

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

(Matthew 6:14)

 

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

(Matthew 6:15)

 

Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

(Matthew 6:16)

 

But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

(Matthew 6:17)

 

That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

(Matthew 6:18)

 

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

(Matthew 6:19)

 

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

(Matthew 6:20)

 

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

(Matthew 6:21)

 

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

(Matthew 6:22)

 

But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

(Matthew 6:23)

 

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

(Matthew 6:24)

 

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

(Matthew 6:25)

 

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

(Matthew 6:26)

 

Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

(Matthew 6:27)

 

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

(Matthew 6:28)

 

And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

(Matthew 6:29)

 

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

(Matthew 6:30)

 

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

(Matthew 6:31)

 

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

(Matthew 6:32)

 

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

(Matthew 6:33)

 

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

(Matthew 6:34)

 

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

(Matthew 7:1)

 

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

(Matthew 7:2)

 

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

(Matthew 7:3)

 

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

(Matthew 7:4)

 

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

(Matthew 7:5)

 

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

(Matthew 7:6)

 

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

(Matthew 7:7)

 

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

(Matthew 7:8)

 

Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

(Matthew 7:9)

 

Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

(Matthew 7:10)

 

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

(Matthew 7:11)

 

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

(Matthew 7:12)

 

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

(Matthew 7:13)

 

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

(Matthew 7:14)

 

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

(Matthew 7:15)

 

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

(Matthew 7:16)

 

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

(Matthew 7:17)

 

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

(Matthew 7:18)

 

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

(Matthew 7:19)

 

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

(Matthew 7:20)

 

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

(Matthew 7:21)

 

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

(Matthew 7:22)

 

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

(Matthew 7:23)

 

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

(Matthew 7:24)

 

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

(Matthew 7:25)

 

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

(Matthew 7:26)

 

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

(Matthew 7:27)

 

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

(Matthew 7:28)

 

For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

(Matthew 7:29)

 

Continuing this bible study with the three chapters in Mark, 26, 27 and 28, which relate the passion of Christ, In Matthew chapter 26 Jesus has the last supper with His disciples and is then betrayed and arrested, and also Peter, as foretold denies Jesus three times. Jesus’ hearings begin in this chapter

(Matthew 26:1)  And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

 

(Matthew 26:2)  Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

 

(Matthew 26:3)  Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

 

(Matthew 26:4)  And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.

 

(Matthew 26:5)  But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

 

(Matthew 26:6)  Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

 

(Matthew 26:7)  There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

 

(Matthew 26:8)  But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

 

(Matthew 26:9)  For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

 

(Matthew 26:10)  When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

 

(Matthew 26:11)  For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

 

(Matthew 26:12)  For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

 

(Matthew 26:13)  Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

 

(Matthew 26:14)  Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

 

(Matthew 26:15)  And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

 

(Matthew 26:16)  And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

 

(Matthew 26:17)  Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

 

(Matthew 26:18)  And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

 

(Matthew 26:19)  And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

 

(Matthew 26:20)  Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.

 

(Matthew 26:21)  And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

 

(Matthew 26:22)  And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

 

(Matthew 26:23)  And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

 

(Matthew 26:24)  The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

 

(Matthew 26:25)  Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

 

(Matthew 26:26)  And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

 

(Matthew 26:27)  And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

 

(Matthew 26:28)  For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

 

(Matthew 26:29)  But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

 

(Matthew 26:30)  And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

 

(Matthew 26:31)  Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

 

(Matthew 26:32)  But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

 

(Matthew 26:33)  Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

 

(Matthew 26:34)  Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

 

(Matthew 26:35)  Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

 

(Matthew 26:36)  Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

 

(Matthew 26:37)  And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

 

(Matthew 26:38)  Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

 

(Matthew 26:39)  And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

 

(Matthew 26:40)  And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

 

(Matthew 26:41)  Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

 

(Matthew 26:42)  He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

 

(Matthew 26:43)  And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

 

(Matthew 26:44)  And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

 

(Matthew 26:45)  Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

 

(Matthew 26:46)  Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

 

(Matthew 26:47)  And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

 

(Matthew 26:48)  Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

 

(Matthew 26:49)  And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.

 

(Matthew 26:50)  And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

 

(Matthew 26:51)  And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.

 

(Matthew 26:52)  Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

 

(Matthew 26:53)  Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

 

(Matthew 26:54)  But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

 

(Matthew 26:55)  In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.

 

(Matthew 26:56)  But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

 

(Matthew 26:57)  And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

 

(Matthew 26:58)  But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

 

(Matthew 26:59)  Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

 

(Matthew 26:60)  But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

 

(Matthew 26:61)  And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

 

(Matthew 26:62)  And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

 

(Matthew 26:63)  But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

 

(Matthew 26:64)  Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

 

(Matthew 26:65)  Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

 

(Matthew 26:66)  What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

 

(Matthew 26:67)  Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,

 

(Matthew 26:68)  Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

 

(Matthew 26:69)  Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

 

(Matthew 26:70)  But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

 

(Matthew 26:71)  And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

 

(Matthew 26:72)  And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

 

(Matthew 26:73)  And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.

 

(Matthew 26:74)  Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

 

(Matthew 26:75)  And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

 

In Matthew 27 Jesus is taken before Pilate, and is then condemned to be crucified and is taken to be whipped and is taken to Calvary and there He  is indeed crucified, making atonement there for all mankind’s sins through giving His life for us to pay our sin debt to God for us. His body is then taken down from the cross and then is buried in a tomb, but would rise again.

(Matthew 27:1)  When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

 

(Matthew 27:2)  And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

 

(Matthew 27:3)  Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

 

(Matthew 27:4)  Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

 

(Matthew 27:5)  And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

 

(Matthew 27:6)  And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.

 

(Matthew 27:7)  And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

 

(Matthew 27:8)  Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

 

(Matthew 27:9)  Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

 

(Matthew 27:10)  And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

 

(Matthew 27:11)  And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

 

(Matthew 27:12)  And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

 

(Matthew 27:13)  Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

 

(Matthew 27:14)  And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

 

(Matthew 27:15)  Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

 

(Matthew 27:16)  And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

 

(Matthew 27:17)  Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

 

(Matthew 27:18)  For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

 

(Matthew 27:19)  When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

 

(Matthew 27:20)  But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

 

(Matthew 27:21)  The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

 

(Matthew 27:22)  Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

 

(Matthew 27:23)  And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

 

(Matthew 27:24)  When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.

 

(Matthew 27:25)  Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

 

(Matthew 27:26)  Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

 

(Matthew 27:27)  Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

 

(Matthew 27:28)  And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

 

(Matthew 27:29)  And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

 

(Matthew 27:30)  And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

 

(Matthew 27:31)  And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

 

(Matthew 27:32)  And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

 

(Matthew 27:33)  And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

 

(Matthew 27:34)  They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

 

(Matthew 27:35)  And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

 

(Matthew 27:36)  And sitting down they watched him there;

 

(Matthew 27:37)  And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

 

(Matthew 27:38)  Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

 

(Matthew 27:39)  And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

 

(Matthew 27:40)  And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

 

(Matthew 27:41)  Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

 

(Matthew 27:42)  He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

 

(Matthew 27:43)  He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

 

(Matthew 27:44)  The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

 

(Matthew 27:45)  Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

 

(Matthew 27:46)  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

 

(Matthew 27:47)  Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

 

(Matthew 27:48)  And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

 

(Matthew 27:49)  The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

 

(Matthew 27:50)  Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

 

(Matthew 27:51)  And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

 

(Matthew 27:52)  And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

 

(Matthew 27:53)  And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

 

(Matthew 27:54)  Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

 

(Matthew 27:55)  And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

 

(Matthew 27:56)  Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

 

(Matthew 27:57)  When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

 

(Matthew 27:58)  He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

 

(Matthew 27:59)  And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

 

(Matthew 27:60)  And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

 

(Matthew 27:61)  And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

 

(Matthew 27:62)  Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

 

(Matthew 27:63)  Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

 

(Matthew 27:64)  Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

 

(Matthew 27:65)  Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.

 

(Matthew 27:66)  So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

 

In Matthew chapter 28 Jesus is raised from the dead and all that takes place is described in the chapter including the angel and visits from the risen Jesus. The risen Jesus goes on to give the great commission to conclude this chapter and gospel to go teach through the world for He will be with us always.

(Matthew 28:1)  In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

 

(Matthew 28:2)  And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

 

(Matthew 28:3)  His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

 

(Matthew 28:4)  And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

 

(Matthew 28:5)  And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

 

(Matthew 28:6)  He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

 

(Matthew 28:7)  And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

 

(Matthew 28:8)  And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

 

(Matthew 28:9)  And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

 

(Matthew 28:10)  Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

 

(Matthew 28:11)  Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

 

(Matthew 28:12)  And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

 

(Matthew 28:13)  Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

 

(Matthew 28:14)  And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

 

(Matthew 28:15)  So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

 

(Matthew 28:16)  Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

 

(Matthew 28:17)  And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

 

(Matthew 28:18)  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

 

(Matthew 28:19)  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

 

(Matthew 28:20)  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

 

Romans chapter 3 is the powerful chapter stating how none is right, all do evil, listing the evils done, and all fall short of God’s glory but how Jesus provided the means for all to be redeemed by the free gift of salvation through Him.

(Romans 3:1)  What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?

 

(Romans 3:2)  Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

 

(Romans 3:3)  For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

 

(Romans 3:4)  God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

 

(Romans 3:5)  But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)

 

(Romans 3:6)  God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

 

(Romans 3:7)  For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

 

(Romans 3:8)  And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

 

(Romans 3:9)  What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

 

(Romans 3:10)  As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

 

(Romans 3:11)  There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

 

(Romans 3:12)  They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

 

(Romans 3:13)  Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

 

(Romans 3:14)  Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

 

(Romans 3:15)  Their feet are swift to shed blood:

 

(Romans 3:16)  Destruction and misery are in their ways:

 

(Romans 3:17)  And the way of peace have they not known:

 

(Romans 3:18)  There is no fear of God before their eyes.

 

(Romans 3:19)  Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

 

(Romans 3:20)  Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

 

(Romans 3:21)  But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

 

(Romans 3:22)  Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

 

(Romans 3:23)  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

 

(Romans 3:24)  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

 

(Romans 3:25)  Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

 

(Romans 3:26)  To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

 

(Romans 3:27)  Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

 

(Romans 3:28)  Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

 

(Romans 3:29)  Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

 

(Romans 3:30)  Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

 

(Romans 3:31)  Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

 

In Romans chapter 6 Paul very strongly states we are in no means supposed to live in sin so that grace may about, for we are now dead to sin through the death of Jesus. It then also states the wages of sin is indeed death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus

(Romans 6:1)  What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

 

(Romans 6:2)  God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

 

(Romans 6:3)  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

 

(Romans 6:4)  Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

 

(Romans 6:5)  For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

 

(Romans 6:6)  Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

 

(Romans 6:7)  For he that is dead is freed from sin.

 

(Romans 6:8)  Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

 

(Romans 6:9)  Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

 

(Romans 6:10)  For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

 

(Romans 6:11)  Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

(Romans 6:12)  Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

 

(Romans 6:13)  Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

 

(Romans 6:14)  For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

 

(Romans 6:15)  What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

 

(Romans 6:16)  Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

 

(Romans 6:17)  But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

 

(Romans 6:18)  Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

 

(Romans 6:19)  I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

 

(Romans 6:20)  For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

 

(Romans 6:21)  What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

 

(Romans 6:22)  But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

 

(Romans 6:23)  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

Romans chapter 10 is the important how to be saved chapter which states our faith comes by hearing the word of God and that we must confess the Lord Jesus by our mouths and believe God raised Him from the dead in order to be saved.

(Romans 10:1)  Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

 

(Romans 10:2)  For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

 

(Romans 10:3)  For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

 

(Romans 10:4)  For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

 

(Romans 10:5)  For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

 

(Romans 10:6)  But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

 

(Romans 10:7)  Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

 

(Romans 10:8)  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

 

(Romans 10:9)  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

 

(Romans 10:10)  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

 

(Romans 10:11)  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

 

(Romans 10:12)  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

 

(Romans 10:13)  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

 

(Romans 10:14)  How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

 

(Romans 10:15)  And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

 

(Romans 10:16)  But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

 

(Romans 10:17)  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

 

(Romans 10:18)  But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

 

(Romans 10:19)  But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

 

(Romans 10:20)  But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.

 

(Romans 10:21)  But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

 

The nine chapters of scripture in this salvation study above are there what Jesus did for us and relate how far God is willing to save someone showing what Jesus did for us on the cross and how He suffered and died which is powerful demonstration of God’s mercy as related in the three chapters in Mathew above which related the Passion, and also three others which have some powerful teachings of Jesus. As it is written God did love the world enough to send His only begotten Son- Jesus to die for our sins on the cross though He was nearly stoned in the gospel of John on two occasions. Jesus makes powerful points in these chapters about how He is indeed the one to take away the sins and also bring everlasting (eternal) Life to all to all those who believe in Him. This was all done so the sins of man, which had separated man from God could be atoned for, which Jesus did by dying o0n the cross, and the love relationship with God then is thus restored. There is nothing like a love relationship with God at all, nothing can even come remotely close to it. I am now including a prayer which you can pray and then invite Jesus in your heart to begin this wonderful relationship to which nothing can compare. Please pray this prayer with me now aloud.

Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived up to this moment and I need Your forgiveness for my sins. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to repent of and turn from my sins. You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess Jesus as our Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we will be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Thank You Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank You Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus please transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not at all to myself. Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life.

Amen.

 

God bless you and yours
