Another puzzle that we must solve

[7angel]

the disciple that he become like his teacher, no more

Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known

Matthew 10

24

No disciple is above his teacher, no slave above his master.

25

It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, for the slave that he become like his master.

If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!

26

"Therefore do not be afraid of them. Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known.

Why must we solve this puzzle? What is your question?

In context this passage is about persecution... People saying Christ was casting out demons in the name of Beelzebul or Satan.

Matthew 10:16-26

Persecutions Are Coming – People will persecute Christians because of Christ

¹⁶ “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. ¹⁷ But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues. ¹⁸ You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. ¹⁹ But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; ²⁰ for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

²¹ “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. ²² And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. ²³ When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

²⁴ “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. ²⁵ It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub,how much more will they call those of his household! ²⁶ Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

This passage in Matthew 10:16-26 is in reference to Mark 3:20-30…

Mark 3:20-30

A House Divided Cannot Stand

²⁰ Then the multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. ²¹ But when His own people heard about this, they went out to lay hold of Him, for they said, “He is out of His mind.”

²² And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebub,” and, “By the ruler of the demons He casts out demons.”

²³ So He called them to Himself and said to them in parables: “How can Satan cast out Satan? ²⁴ If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. ²⁵ And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. ²⁶ And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end. ²⁷ No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house.

The Unpardonable Sin – Rejecting God’s Holy Spirit

²⁸ “Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; ²⁹ but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”— ³⁰ because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”

I see no puzzle here either, just a random passage of scripture.

How do you understand ?

[The_Patriot21]

How do you? You have yet to ask a question. What is the point of this thread? Do you not understand it? Do you wish to debate a point in it? If so which point and what is your opinion of it? Do you wish to teach something? Eithout a point or clear defined reason for posting this piece of scripture then it is no more then random scripture, posted for no apparent reason. Its a good passage of scripture, it all is, but random nonetheless.

Angel, most of your posts are very difficult to understand. No offense meant, but is English your first language? That may explain it. Thanks!
