 573 5, 0,28|        forerunner of the Messiah.~The Lord then poses a direct question
 574 5, 0,28|             episode, stating that the Lord commanded them not to tell
 575 5, 0,28|        Matthew adds to this, that the Lord praised Peter, telling him: “

 580 5, 0,28|         Church?~Certainly not! If the Lord had Peter in mind as a personality,
 581 5, 0,28|            this, it is clear that the Lord in addressing Peter, promises
 582 5, 0,28|              faithful to approach the Lord “as to a living stone, rejected
 583 5, 0,28|     repentance and baptism. After the Lord’s Resurrection, this grace

 589 5, 0,29|                as the Son of God.~The Lord responds to this with indignation: “
 590 5, 0,29|          remarkable thing is that the Lord, having just recently named

 595 5, 0,29|              33). In other words, the Lord wants to say that God had
 596 5, 0,29|              for this world only, the Lord couples it with the thought

 684 5, 0,40|             messengers of peace — the Lord’s disciples. Directing them
 685 5, 0,40|              eat what is offered, the Lord prescribes to His disciples

 694 5, 0,41|        hostility toward the Lord. The Lord then solves their puzzlement: “
 695 5, 0,41|              Me.” It is as though the Lord said to them: “I didn’t

 713 5, 0,41|               explains that here, the Lord had in mind the grace of
 714 5, 0,41|       Resurrection and Ascension.~The Lord’s words disturbed the multitude:

 720 5, 0,42|             in getting an answer, the Lord lifted His head and told
 721 5, 0,42|            throw a stone at her.” The Lord’s words produced a jolting

 724 5, 0,42|         before their consciences.~The Lord acted in this fashion, because
 725 5, 0,42|              brought the woman to the Lord with evil intentions, exposing
 726 5, 0,42|           they were accused of by the Lord.~Characteristically, the
 727 5, 0,42|            This would explain why the Lord then said: “Neither do I
 728 5, 0,42|               not condemning sin. The Lord came to seek out and save

 742 5, 0,43|        Likewise to this question, the Lord didn’t give them a direct
 743 5, 0,43|               that they expected. The Lord’s answer is translated into

 754 5, 0,43|             that believed in Him, the Lord speaks: “I say to you, if
 755 5, 0,43|       appeared to have understood the Lord’s words literally — of the

 768 5, 0,44|           cured man to believe in the Lord as the Son of God. All the
 769 5, 0,44|          events gave occasion for the Lord to express His thoughts,

 883 5, 0,60|              comes in the name of the Lord!” — this means Christ’s

 885 5, 0,61|               One Saturday, while the Lord was in the house of one

 891 5, 0,62|             the heart. That’s why the Lord concludes His narrative
 892 5, 0,62|              at the guests, while the Lord had especial guidance to
 893 5, 0,62|            and wealthy neighbors, the Lord suggested to him that it

 902 5, 0,65|                In these parables, the Lord utilizes the natural attribute
 903 5, 0,65|              of the prodigal son, the Lord likens God’s joy over the
 904 5, 0,65|              joy, which occurs in the Lord’s words: “there will be
 905 5, 0,65|      anthropomorphous features of the Lord, Who through His love for
