This chapter also has a lot of explanations about how you should love your enemies and to love them that despise you. Also it talks about what you purpose in your heart that you have already done.

MATTHEW 8
This whole chapter deals with the miracles that Jesus performed the first one was a leper the next was a centurion’s servant, the third was Peter’s mother and the fourth person that He healed were two men who were possessed with devils. After all this Jesus also calmed the sea. The main point I think is that all the people that Jesus healed they all had faith that He was going to do it so I believe that we need to have faith in God and let God do whatever he would like with our lives.

Later in this chapter Jesus is preaching again and everyone gets hungry and Jesus once again feeds 4,000 men not counting the women and children and when they were done eating they had seven baskets leftover.
MATTHEW 16

But Jesus said to them do you not remember the 5,000 and the 4,000 thousand that I just fed and there was some leftover so do not worry.

MATTHEW 18
This chapter is explaining if someone offends you what you should do or how many times you should forgive someone. Peter said if someone offends me should I forgive him seven times and Jesus answered him saying not seven times but seventy times seven. Then Jesus told the parable about the man who owed the king a lot of money and when he asked forgiveness of the debt the king had compassion upon him and forgave his debt. But when the man left he came by someone who owed him just a little bit of money and the man could not pay so he had him thrown into prison. When the king heard what the man had done he had him thrown into prison until he could pay of his original debt. So we need to forgive everyman his trespasses.

The Essay on Kingdom Of God Jesus Matthew Passage
Kingdom of GOD The use of the phrase " Kingdom of God" in the gospel of Matthew creates a different meaning of the idea of the word "Kingdom."

In Matthew 19: 23, Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the ...

MATTHEW 23

MATTHEW 24

The soldiers had taken Jesus away and had taken Him before many judges and finally they told the soldiers to take Him to Pilate, which is where the next chapter begins.
