“DO YOU STILL NOT UNDERSTAND?”
Matthew 15:29-16:12
Key verse 16:9
Where did Jesus go (29)? Describe the crowds and his ministry to them (30-31a). What does Matthew want us to know about Jesus (4:24; 11:5; 14:14; et.al.)? How did the people respond (31b)?
What did Jesus tell his disciples and why (32)? How did Jesus and his disciples feed the crowd (33-39)? What is similar to and different from the feeding of the five thousand (14:14-21)? What was Jesus teaching his disciples?
Who came to Jesus and for what purpose (16:1; 12:38-39)? How and why did Jesus rebuke them (2-4)? What is the sign of Jonah (12:40)? Why did Jesus leave them?
What concerned the disciples while crossing the lake (5)? What did Jesus warn them about (6)? What did he mean (12)? What did they think he meant and why (7)?
What questions did Jesus ask and how did it help his disciples (8-12)? Read verse 9. What should the disciples remember and understand? What should we remember and understand?
