The Things You Do Show What You Are
(Lk. 6:43-45)
33"If you want good fruit, you must make the tree good. If your tree is not good
then it will have bad fruit. A tree is known by the kind of fruit it makes. 34You
snakes! You are evil people! How can you say anything good? The mouth speaks the
things that are in the heart. 35A good person has good things saved in his heart.
And so he speaks the good things that come from his heart. But an evil person has
evil saved in his heart. So he speaks the evil things that come from his heart.
36And I tell you that people will have to explain about every careless thing they
have said. This will happen on the day of judgment. 37The words you have said will
be used to judge you. Some of your words will make you right, but some of your words
will make you guilty." The
Jewish Leaders Ask Jesus for Proof
(Mk. 8:11-12; Lk. 11:29-32)
38Then some of the Pharisees* and teachers of the law answered Jesus. They said,
"Teacher, we want to see you do a miracle* as a sign (proof)." 39Jesus answered,
"Evil and sinful people are the ones that want to see a miracle for a sign (proof).
But no miracle will be given as a sign to those people. The only sign will be the
miracle that happened to the prophet* Jonah. 40Jonah was in the stomach of the big
fish for three days and three nights. In the same way, the Son of Man* will be in
the grave three days and three nights. 41And on the judgment day the men from Nineveh*
will stand up with you people that live today, and they will show that you are wrong
(guilty). Why? Because when Jonah preached to those people, they changed their lives.
And I tell you that I am greater than Jonah! 42On the judgment day, the Queen of
the South* will stand up with you people that live today, and she will show that
you are wrong (guilty). Why? Because that queen traveled from far, far away to listen
to Solomon's wise teaching. And I tell you that I am greater than Solomon!
People Today Are Full of Evil
(Lk. 11:24-26)
43"When an evil spirit [from the devil] comes out of a person, that spirit travels
through dry places looking for a place to rest. But that spirit finds no place to
rest. 44So the spirit says, 'I will go back to the home (person) I left.' When the
spirit comes back to that person, the spirit finds that home (person) still empty.
That home is swept clean and made neat. 45Then the evil spirit goes out and brings
seven other spirits more evil than itself. Then all the spirits go into that person
and live there. And that person has even more trouble than he had before. It is
the same way with the evil people that live today."
Jesus' Followers Are His Family
(Mk. 3:31-35; Lk. 8:19-21)
46While Jesus was talking to the people his mother and brothers stood outside. They
wanted to talk to Jesus. 47A person told Jesus, "Your mother and brothers are waiting
for you outside. They want to talk to you." 48Jesus answered, "Who is my mother?
Who are my brothers?" 49Then Jesus pointed to his followers and said, "See! These
people are my mother and my brothers. 50My true brother and sister and mother is
any person that does the things my Father in heaven wants."
