Bible Commentries and Notes.

More than Bread.
Mat 4:4 But answering, He said, It has been written "Man shall not live by bread alone,
but on every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of YAHWEH." Deut 8:3

Do Not Test Elohim.
Mat 4:7 Yahshua said to him, Again it has been written "You shall not test YAHWEH your Elohim." Duet 6:16

Worship YAHWEH.
Mat 4:10 Then Yahshua said to him, Go, Satan! For it has been written "You shall worship YAHWEH your Elohim, and Him only shall you serve." Duet 6:13

Repent.
Mat 4:17 From that time Yahshua began to preach and to say, Repent! For the kingdom of Heaven has drawn near.

Come After Me.
Mat 4:19 And He says to them, Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of the sons of men.

On Account of Me.
Mat 5:11-12 Blessed are you when they shall curse you, and persecute you, and shall say every evil word against you, lying, on account of Me.
Rejoice and leap for joy, for your reward is great in Heaven; for in this way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Mat 5:16 So let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father in Heaven.

Messiah Came to Fulfill the Torah (To Establish it, To Teach it Correctly).
Mat 5:17-20 Do not think that I came to annul the Torah or the Prophets; I did not come to annul, but to fulfill.
Truly I say to you, Until the heaven and the earth pass away, in no way shall one yod or one stroke pass away from the Torah until all comes to pass.
Therefore, whoever loosens one of these commandments, the least, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the worst in the kingdom of Heaven. But whoever does and teaches them, this one shall be called great in the kingdom of Heaven.
For I say to you, If your righteousness shall not exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of YAHWEH, never!

~ v19 Some have wrongly thought this verse simply means that the ones who teach that it is permissible to break the Torah will be in the Kingdom but will have the lowest position, but this verse is stating to teach against the Torah in the Kingdom is the absolute worst thing that could be thought of, and those who did so would NOT be there (Mat 7:23)
~ v20 The Pharisees strictly kept their oral traditions above the Torah and unless a true believer not only keeps the letter of the Torah but the true intent of the spirit he will not be in the Kingdom of YHWH.
~ V17-20 are extremely clear that Yahshua's intention was NEVER to abolish the eternal Torah of YHWH, but to magnify the intent.

Anger.
Mat 5:23 Then if you offer your gift on the altar, and remember there that your brother has a grudge against you,
Mat 5:24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go. First, be reconciled to your brother, and then coming, offer your gift.

Lust.
Mat 5:29 But if your right eye offends you, take it out and throw it from you, for it is profitable to you that one of your members should perish and all your body not be thrown into Hell.
Mat 5:30 And if your right hand causes you to offend, cut it off and throw it from you, for it is profitable to you that one of your members should perish and all your body not be thrown into Hell.
This is an Aramaic idiomatic phrase which means whatever is causing you to sin you must put it out of your life.

Divorce.
Mat 5:31 It was also said, Whoever puts away his wife, "let him give her a bill of divorce." Mat 5:32 But I say to you, Whoever divorces his wife, even in a matter of fornication, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever shall marry a divorced one commits adultery.

Oaths.
Mat 5:34-37 But I say to you, Do not swear at all, neither by Heaven, because it is the throne of YAHWEH; Isa 66:1
nor by the earth, because it is the footstool of His feet; nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King. Psa 48:2
Nor shall you swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.
But let your word be Yes, yes; No, no. Anything more than these is from evil. James 5:12

Retaliation.
Mat 5:39 but I say to you, Do not stand against the evil; but whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him also.
Mat 5:40 And to him desiring to sue you, and to take your coat, allow him also to have the cloak.

~ v39 This Aramaic idiomatic phrase is not condoning evil, but is saying if someone hurts you and repents, then forgive them and in doing so and restoring the relationship you are giving opportunity to hurt you again in the future. When one shows true Elohim guided love and forgiveness they make themselves vulnerable to being hurt.

Love Your Enemies.
Mat 5:44-45 but I say to you, Love your enemies; bless those cursing you, do well to those hating you; and pray for those who take you by force and persecute you, so that you may become sons of your Father in Heaven. Because He causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and unjust.

Do Not Be Anxious.
Mat 6:31-33 Then do not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? Or, what may we drink? Or, what may clothe us?
For after all these things the nations seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
But seek first the kingdom of YAHWEH and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Judging Others.
Mat 7:1-2 Do not condemn, that you may not be condemned; for with whatever condemnation you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured again to you.

The Golden Rule.
Mat 7:12-14 Therefore, all things, whatever you desire that men should do to you, so also you should do to them; for this is the Torah and the Prophets.
Go in through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are the ones entering in through it.
For narrow is the gate, and constricted is the way that leads away into life, and few are the ones finding it.

I Never Knew You.
Mat 7:21-23 It will not be that just everyone who says to Me, Master, Master, will enter into the kingdom of Heaven, but the ones who do the will of My Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Master, Master, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many works of power?
And then I will declare to them, from everlasting, I never knew you; "depart from Me, those working lawlessness!"

~ The lawless gospel message that Christianity is teaching did not originate from the bible and when Yahshua returns all those who have been practicing lawlessness will be cast into the lake of Fire. Psa 6:8

Mat 9:13 But going, learn what this is, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice." For I did not come to call righteous ones but sinners to repentance. Hos 6:6

Persecution Will Come.
Mat 10:16-20 Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore, be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
But beware of men; for they will deliver you to the house of judgment, and they will scourge you in their assemblies. But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious how or what you should say, for it is given to you in that hour what you should say. For you are not the ones speaking, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

Have No Fear.
Mat 10:26-28 Therefore, you should not fear them, for nothing is covered which will not be uncovered; and hidden, which will not be made known.
What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light. And what you hear in the ear, proclaim on the housetops. And you should not fear the ones killing the body, but not being able to kill the soul. But rather fear Him being able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest.
Mat 11:28-30 Come to Me, all those laboring and being burdened, and I will give you rest.
Bear my yoke upon you and learn from me. That I am tranquil and I am meek, and in my heart you will find tranquility in your souls.? Jer 6:16
For My yoke is pleasant, and My burden is light.

What Defiles a Person.
Mat 15:10-11 And calling the crowd near, He said to them, Hear and understand it is not the thing entering into the mouth that defiles the man, but the thing coming forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.

The Parable of the Lost Sheep.
Mat 18:10-14 See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that their cherubs in Heaven continually look on the face of My Father in Heaven. For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. What do you think? If there be to any man a hundred sheep, and one of them strays away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains, and having gone he seeks the one having strayed?
And if he happens to find it, truly I say to you that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine not having gone astray. So it is not the will before your Father in Heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

If Your Brother Sins Against Youv
Mat 18:15-16 And if your brother with you is at fault, go rebuke him, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won your brother.
But if he does not hear, take one or two more with you, "so that on the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established."

Let the Children Come to Me.
Mat 19:13-14 Then little children were brought to Him, that He might lay hands on them and might pray. But the disciples rebuked them.
But Yahshua said, Allow the little children and do not hinder them to come to Me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.

The Great Commandment.
Mat 22:36-40 Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Torah?
And Yahshua said to him, "You shall love YAHWEH your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind." Duet 6:5
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like it "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Lev 19:18
On these two commandments all the Torah and the Prophets hang.

False Messiah's.
Mat 24:23-27 Then if anyone says to you, Behold, here is the Messiah! Or, Here! Do not believe. For false Messiahs and false prophets will rise up. And they will give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen. Then if they say to you, Behold, He is in the wilderness; do not go out. Behold, He is in the inner rooms; do not believe. For as the lightning comes forth from the east and shines as far as the west, so also will be the coming of the Son of Man.

The Coming of the Son of Man.
Mat 24:29-31 And immediately after the suffering of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the heavens. And then all the tribes of the land will wail. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and much glory. Dan 7:13
And He will send His cherubs with a great sound of a large trumpet, and they will gather His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. 1 Cor 15:52

Mat 25:13 Therefore, be alert, for you do not know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man comes.

The Messiah's Supper ~ New Symbols of Passover.
Mat 26:26- And as they ate, taking the bread and blessing it, Yahshua broke and gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is My body.
And taking the cup, and giving thanks, He gave to them, saying, Drink all of it.
For this represents My blood of the New Covenant which concerning many is being poured out for remission of sins.

Who take the Sword shall Perish by a Sword.
Mat 26:52 Then Yahshua said to him, Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword shall perish by a sword.

The Great Commission.
Mat 28:19 Then having gone, disciple all nations, baptizing them in my name,
Mat 28:20 teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you. And, behold, I am with you all the days until the completion of the age.
