“The ministry of Jesus had more to do with their spiritual needs than their physical plight” (Page 103)

“Best robe … ring … sandals … feast (22, 23). Each term here has significance. The long robe denoted esteem and position. Not just any robe would do: it must be the best in the house. The ring probably was a signet ring carrying the authority of the owner. The slaves would be barefoot, but the master’s family would have sandals. The feast marked a special occasion.” (Page 208)

“Jesus’ ministry had three sides. His teaching and preaching communicated the Word of God, His healing and works of compassion demonstrated the power and love of God, and His selection and training of disciples paved the way for the founding of the church and the spread of the gospel of salvation.” (Page 97)

“Jesus was emphasizing that the believer must be wise in planning ahead and using what he has available in the best possible way for the greatest good.” (Page 212)

“These men had become companions in their tragic condition. Excluded from society, with a dread disease bringing slow death, and sharing the worst kind of living conditions, these men huddled together in their struggle to survive.” (Page 219)
