0 Matthew : Women

If thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee .... 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. 5:29

Matthew : Women (6)

  1. "And he said to her, Daughter...." 9:22

    Jesus allows a woman who is considered unclean (Leviticus 15:19-33) to touch his clothes without complaint and then heals heals her. He even calls her "Daughter." She is, in fact, the only person in the gospels that he refers to in that way.

  2. When Jesus' mother wants to see him, Jesus asks, "Who is my mother?" 12:47-49

  3. Jesus says that divorce is permissible when the wife is guilty of fornication. But what if the husband is unfaithful? Jesus doesn't seem to care about that. 5:32, 19:9

  4. Abandon your wife and children for Jesus and he'll give you a big reward. 19:29

  5. "Woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days." Why? Does God especially hate pregnant and nursing women? 24:19

  6. The kingdom of heaven like ten virgins who went to meet their bridegroom. Five had oil for their lamps and five didn't. When the bridegroom was ready for them, only the five well-oiled virgins got to have sex with him on their wedding night. The bridegroom shunned the other five, saying "Get lost. I don't even know you." The moral to the story is this: watch out, you never know when (or with whom) Jesus will come.25:1-13
