We continue our series in the Gospel According to Mark—Kingdom Come, God's Reign in a Chaotic World. This week we close out chapter 2 and enter into chapter 3 of Mark's Gospel. After repeated incidents when Jesus casts out demons, heals the sick, and even forgives the sins of a paralytic before healing him—which, of course, raises the ire of the Scribes and Pharisees—Jesus moves on to one of their most sacred theological hills: the Sabbath. Join us as Jesus confronts their legalism while defining the true heart of the Sabbath for them and for all of us. Read Mark 2:23—3:6 in advance to prepare for the message, and remember to bring your Study Guides!
Everyone's talking about how AI scribes save clinicians time. But what if the bigger win isn't the clock—it's the relief of finally walking out of the exam room without a head full of notes to write later?In this conversation, Dr. Scott Eshowsky, Chief Medical Information Officer at Beacon Health System and a practicing family physician, shares how Oracle Health's Clinical AI Agent is changing daily practice. From easing documentation burden and reducing burnout to strengthening patient connection, he explains why integration and accountability are just as critical as efficiency gains. He also discusses how Beacon is thinking about AI's next frontier: helping clinicians surface chart data more quickly for better decision-making.Where do you see AI scribes making the biggest difference—time saved, mental space, or patient connection? Share your thoughts in the comments.
In Do Whatever They Tell You, we explore Yeshua's words in Matthew 23:2–3, where He tells the crowd to obey the scribes and Pharisees who “sit in Moses' seat.” Did Yeshua affirm their teachings—or was He pointing to something deeper? This teaching examines the historical and textual background showing that Yeshua wasn't validating Pharisaic tradition but affirming obedience to the words of Moses they read aloud each Sabbath (Exodus 18:13–16; Acts 15:21; Matthew 23:1–4). When understood in context, Yeshua's command calls His followers to heed the Torah itself, not the traditions that make void the Word of God.Takeaway: Yeshua directs His people to hear Moses' words and live them—testing every teaching by Scripture, not by man-made authority.
Self-centredness even affects religion, making people pious but selfish, instead of God-centred and loving others. But God sees the heart, and praises those who serve him wholeheartedly, no matter how little they are able to do. Watch Here: https://youtube.com/live/io3sa0n1MVA
By Brian Shaw - In Matthew 23:5, Jesus used the example of the Scribes and Pharisees to warn the multitudes and His disciples against being preoccupied with image. How do we prevent ourselves from falling into this same obsession?

Did Ancient Scribes Edit the Bible to Hide Contradictions?
His Hebrew name is Jacob. He was a close kinsman of Christ, and was therefore called, according to the Jewish usage of the time, his "brother." Some accounts say that he was a child of Joseph by his first marriage; others accounts say that he was the son of Joseph's brother Cleopas and his wife Mary, who was first cousin of the Theotokos. He took the Nazirite vows of one completely consecrated to God according to the Law, and from a young age he was called "the Just" by his people. He is called James the Lesser in Scripture (Mark 15:40) to distinguish him from James the son of Zebedee, who is called the Greater. The Apostles appointed him first Bishop of Jerusalem. It was he who presided at the earliest Council of the Church in Jerusalem, where he resolved the problem of how gentile converts should be received into the Church (see Acts 15). He wrote the New Testament Epistle, addressed primarily to Jewish converts to the Faith, that bears his name. About the year 62, he ascended to the peak of the Temple in Jerusalem on Passover, and there bore witness to Christ so effectively that the people cried out "Hosanna to the Son of David." At this, the Scribes and Pharisees, fearing that all the people would be converted to Christ, cast him down to the ground. By God's grace, he survived long enough to rise, kneel and pray, like his Master, "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do." He was then clubbed to death by one of the scribes.
When we left off, Jesus was enjoying a meal at Matthew's house. Matthew happens to be our author, and he was a tax collector. That led the Pharisees and religious leaders to sneer at Jesus and question his disciples about why their teacher would eat with tax collectors and sinners. The setting for our passage on Sunday is still at Matthew's house. Having been questioned by the Scribes and Pharisees, Jesus then faced questions from the disciples of his cousin, John the Baptizer. His response was three cryptic parables about a wedding, a patch of clothing, and wine in wineskins. What Jesus conveyed touches on what I find to be the most exciting and compelling kind of study we can do in the Bible. Jesus, who has already claimed to be the fulfilment of the Law and the Prophets, is speaking to the connection between the old covenant, old ways, and old methods of the religious leaders of his time and pointing to the new work God was doing right in front of them. We are going to look into that connection between the Old and New Covenants (or Testaments), how Jesus redefined the work of God and the people of God, and how we can make sense of what from the Old Testament continues forward through Christ versus what was completed and fulfilled in Christ, now becoming obsolete for those who follow him.------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media Website | Instagram | Threads | Facebook | Vimeo------------------------------------------- Download our AppApple App Store | Google Play Store
Jesus treats those who are actively against Him with love, boldness, and truth. We follow Christ knowing that He defeats both His and our enemies, allowing us to not fear man's authority, arguments, or approval. The freedom we have is in the fear of God, the one who took our sin and shame on the cross and gives us newness of life.
Send me a Text Message!I think if I lived in the days of Pharisees and Scribes, when I heard Jesus say, "Unless your righteousness exceeds the guys who do it for a living..." I would have heard, "Unless your righteousness goes to infinity and beyond, unless you get more righteous than you ever imagined you could be, you might as well forget it." But that's not Jesus message. Jesus wasn't just looking for a quantity of righteousness, He was looking for quality of righteousness. He was looking for a different heart, that would love different.He was looking for people who didn't major in rules and regulations, but rather lived and loved different, against the flow. I hope by the end of this episode, you'll have that challenge in your mind. Let's live different!
Our study in Matthew now moves into chapter 15.Dr. Mitchell will be explaining the first 20 verses.Dr. Mitchell brings out the Lord's rebuke to the Pharisees and scribes for their formalism, their traditions because it nullified the very Word of God. He applies this truth to today's ecclesiastical leaders who change the meanings of the precious words of Scripture. So, let's stick with the Words of Christ rather than the man made traditions of religion.Jesus next compares the difference between outward profession of the lips and inward motivation of the heart. He deals with integrity of one's life and faith.He then differentiates between what goes into the stomach and what comes out of the heart.This speaks of the defiling motivations of the human heart as found in verses 18-20. Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 15:1.
Fr Toby looks at the cast of characters to whom so much of the dialogue of Jesus is directed - the Pharisees, Scribes and Sadducees - and invites us to a more nuanced understanding lest we veer into anti-Semitism.WORD FOR TODAY is broadcast live on Radio Maria on weekdays at 1:15pm and is rebroadcast at 12:15am the following day.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have made it to the final discourse of Jesus in the gospel of Matthew. Jesus has told all of Israel the truth about heaven, His Father, and His Father's will for their lives. Now it is time to speak clearly and openly about the Scribes and the Pharisees. This message will push them over the edge, but Jesus will always tell the truth about our condition before God and what we must do about it. We love Him for that.
We are happy to team up with Denis Salgado from The Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) and discuss the history and transmission of the New Testament documents. The CSNTM is an organization started by Dan Wallace that exists to preserve and digitize NT manuscripts, studying their background and transmission. As part of their service to the church, CSNTM has a series of lectures they offer to local churches in an effort to help Christians understand the textual history of the New Testament documents.This is part 5 of a 7 part series, called Text to Translation: The Story of the New Testament. This episode focuses on the scribes who copied our New Testament manuscripts. What was their life like? How does knowing about them help us?For more on CSNTM: https://www.csntm.org/For more on Denis Salgado: https://www.csntm.org/2022/09/15/welcome-denis-salgado/ If you have found the podcast helpful, consider leaving a review on Itunes or rating it on Spotify.

Today, Ceri is joined by a man who doesn't just witness the future of art, he builds the infrastructure for it. Georg Bak is a pioneering digital art advisor and curator who's spent over two decades bridging the traditional and the digital. He has advised major collectors and museums, helped shape curatorial boards, and placed historically significant works into collections that matter. Georg is the co-founder of NFT Art Day and The Digital Art Mile, a boutique digital art fair that champions new ideas and new communities. He has curated landmark exhibitions, including the first-ever CryptoPunks show, and collaborated with Sotheby's, Phillips, and The Vancouver Biennale. Whether you're AI-averse or blockchain-curious, this episode's for the thinkers and deeply curious. KEY TAKEAWAYS Digital art does not replace traditional art; it is a powerful expansion of it that builds on the existing foundations. When collectors recognise that true innovation comes from artists who challenge perceptions and provoke thought instead of simply following trends, the art world thrives. Success in digital art is deeply connected to building and engaging with communities and network effects. Building lasting trust and relationships, educating and going deeper on fewer pieces of work is leading to success. AI is opening up possibilities that are comparable in impact to the Renaissance. AI-driven tools are not only expanding artistic expression but also challenging traditional boundaries, making this a pivotal era for both artists and collectors. BEST MOMENTS “I think what makes maybe the difference is that the success of an artist is based on this community… The bigger the network behind an artist the more successful they are going to be.” “I would inspire everyone to open their eyes and be curious, instead of being against everything that's new.” “The most interesting artworks, they're not easy to understand in the beginning.” “Art isn't static, it's a system, a signal, a story still unfolding.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgbak PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Tuesday, 2 September 2025 While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. Matthew 12:46 “And He yet speaking to the crowds, you behold, His mother and His brothers had stood without seeking to speak to Him” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus finished His words about the unclean spirit returning to the home it had previously left. Matthew next records, “And He yet speaking to the crowds, you behold, His mother and His brothers.” Though the words seem to lack any really pertinent information other than the surface meaning, they are important both to the surrounding narrative and to Christian theology. As for the surrounding context, that will be seen as the next verses unfold. However, the fact that Jesus' brothers are mentioned flies in the face of the Roman Catholic heresies or false teachings surrounding Mary. Though not heretical, the doctrine of the perpetual virginity of Mary is a complete distraction and a direct attack on the concept of keeping our eyes on Jesus. Instead, those in the Roman Catholic Church spend much of their time fixing their eyes on Mary. The word used here, adelphos, signifies a brother. It can be taken figuratively as a brother in the faith, which is the way it is commonly used in the epistles. In fact, it is used in that manner by Jesus in verse 12:49. The word is derived from the connecting particle a and delphus, the womb. Thus, it is a sharer of the same womb. The word applies to a brother of the same father and mother, or only of the same father or same mother. As such, Roman Catholics insist that Jesus alone was born of Mary and the others were born to Joseph by a wife before Mary. This is found in an apocryphal gospel, not in the Bible. However, the Roman Catholic church is famous for going to such texts when it is convenient to obtain theology that supports their aberrant teachings. In the case of this account, by mentioning Mary along with Jesus' brothers, the implication is that they are her sons. In Mark 6:3, it mentions sisters as well. Of all of these, Jesus was accounted as the Son of Joseph in Matthew 1 and Luke 3 for the purposes of lineage. If Joseph had previous sons, it would remove Jesus from the firstborn status to him. It is true that there are provisions in the law for raising children of deceased relatives. These and other considerations mean anything is possible concerning Mary. But the obvious and clear understanding to be obtained from reading the accounts in the canonized gospels is that these other sons noted here are from Mary. With this as the intended understanding of the passage, it says they “had stood without seeking to speak to Him.” Mary and Jesus' brothers had come and stood outside the area where He was and waited to speak to Him. The pluperfect verb gives the sense that they were there while Jesus was speaking to the Scribes and Pharisees, and when He finished His words to them, He was notified of their having come. Life application: A few points to be considered concerning Mary need to be addressed. Whether Mary was a perpetual virgin or not cannot be determined from the canonized gospels. Nothing is said of it, and therefore, it is not a doctrine that is acceptable to be taught in the church. As noted above, a reading of the surrounding narrative concerning Mary without any bias or presupposition would immediately alert the reader to consider that these brothers of Jesus were sons of Mary. Unless there was a valid reason to assume otherwise, there would never be a hint that further investigation was necessary. The terminology in Matthew 1:25, which says that Joseph did not know Mary (meaning he did not have sexual relations with her) until she brought forth Jesus, implies that he did, in fact, know her afterwards. Likewise, in that same verse, Jesus is called her Firstborn. It is true that a firstborn can mean a first and only, but the Greek monogenēs, only begotten, would have made more sense if she were to have no more children. Such logical deductions tell us that the Roman Catholic Church has a set agenda in distracting people from the prescription found in Hebrews 12:2, where believers are to fix their eyes on Jesus. The willful manipulation of what is clearly implied in the case of Mary having other children tells us this. For whatever reason, the cult of Mary was introduced, and it has blossomed into an entire subsect of Roman Catholicism. It is highlighted numerous times throughout the year by the main church as well. Rather than being distracted by such teachings, the clear intent of Scripture is that we should focus our minds, hearts, and attention on Jesus. To do anything else is to fall short of what is expected by God, who gave us Scripture to guide us in our understanding of theology. Glorious God, give us the desire to focus on the contents of Your word. It is the word that tells us of Your coming in the Person of Jesus to restore us to Yourself. May we not be distracted by that which is false and unprofitable.. Amen.
In this episode of The Bible for Normal People, Pete and Nerd-in-Residence Cynthia are joined by Bill Schniedewind to discuss who really wrote the Bible. Bill explains how different scribal communities each left their own mark on the texts they were writing, and how the diversity of the Bible's human authors reflects the beauty and richness of the text itself.

When He spoke to the issue of hardened religionists, Jesus had a very impactful message for multiple parties at the same time in Matthew 23. But what's really interesting is how highly applicable that is in the Christianity of today! Be prepared to be challenged as we take a penetrating look at the willful blindness of hardened religionists! // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.
Scribes were highly educated, highly trained in reading, writing, record keeping and in copying the Scriptures. They were considered experts in the Law (Torah). The scribe expressed his desire to join Jesus on this trip across the Lake.
1 Kings 12 tells us of Rehoboam's folly following the death of Solomon. Rehoboam fails to heed the wise counsel of the elders and rather harkens to the ridiculous reasoning of his entitled peers. The outcome of this is the division of the kingdom, as prophesied by Ahijah. Jeroboam is termed in scripture "the man who caused Israel to sin". Jeroboam set up two golden calves - the one in the north at Dan; and the other in Beersheba in the south. Rehoboam sent his treasurer to collect the tribute from Israel. But they stoned the treasurer causing Rehoboam to flee in his chariot. Rehoboam then mustered his army but was dissuaded from fighting against his brethren by the prophet Shemaiah who tells the king that the division is from the LORD. To his credit Rehoboam responded to the Word of God and sent the army home. King Jeroboam from the northern branch of the divided kingdom next changes the timing of the feast of worship from the seventh to the eighth month. This idolatrous man made his priests from the lowest of the people. All of this was designed to maintain the division. Jeroboam was fearful that Israel might, if they went to the Feast in Jerusalem, be reconciled to Rehoboam. This 38th chapter of Jeremiah told of the malevolent treatment afforded the prophet at the hands of the treacherous princes casting him into the mire (mud) of the cistern. He was rescued by the kind and faithful Ethiopian, Ebed-melech. Our Sovereign recompensed the Ethiopian eunuch's kindness to Yahweh's prophet. After his deliverance Jeremiah presented his entreaties secretly to the king. Jeremiah again counsels the king to save Judah by surrendering to the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar.Mark 12 begins with the parable of the tenants of the vineyard which spoke of Israel. The parable tells of the constant rejection of God's servants, the prophets; and the ultimate sin of Israel in rejecting the Son of the Father. The nation's wicked rulers saw themselves in Jesus' words and fulfilled the prophecy of our Lord in plotting Jesus' death. Christ's enemies make several attempts to undermine our Lord's authority. The chapter shows that each prominent party posed hypothetical questions. The first was from an alliance of the Herodians, who were pragmatists who were prepared to cooperate with Rome, and the arch enemies of the Herodians - the Pharisees. The question from this unholy alliance was on taxation. The master not only answers majestically, but he directs their minds to God's claims on them. We are next told of the Sadducees posing their question on resurrection. This sect were the priestly class. They were wealthy and used their power to accumulate wealth. The Sadducees did not accept the teaching of the resurrection; nor any of the Scriptures apart from the 5 Books of Moses. These hypocrites were likewise confounded by incontestable proof from Exodus 3 - one of the five writings that were accepted by them - of the raising of the dead. The Scribes with the Pharisees pose a problem to our Lord as to which commandment was the greatest. Jesus answers by showing that the entire message of the Law and the Prophets hung equally on the love of God and the love one's neighbour. Christ then turns the tables on his foes through a simple question in two parts;- 1) whose son is the Messiah (easy they thought - David's of course); and, part 2) how then in Psalm 110 is the Christ spoken of as David's Lord? The inescapable answer was that the Christ, Messiah, was greater because he was the Son of God as well as son of David. The chapter concludes with a denunciation of the Scribes and an object lesson from the widow, who gave all. https://christadelphianvideo.org/christadelphian-daily-readings/
Although atheism is rife in our country, is not an even greater disaster those who go to places of Christian worship and yet, in God's eyes, fail to offer to him the heart-felt worship he seeks. The wide variety of Churches must surely indicate this. But we must avoid a judgmental attitude, that is God's prerogative, however we cannot help seeing some of the differences between first century Christianity and that which exists today. .Our first aim must be to make sure we ourselves are approaching God and His Son in the way he desires.Our second aim should be to try to help others whom we fear are failing in their approach to effectively worship God. Now Jesus, in confronting this failure, bluntly said that the type of worship he was seeing was ”in vain.” How tragic that any worship is in vain. One cannot totally blame the atheist and agnostic when they turn their backs on Christianity as they see such a contradictory mix of churches .A major reason why we read the Bible every day is to get a right understanding of what God and his Son Jesus, require of us. Only through God's word do we learn how they should be served and worshipped.In today's reading (Mark 7) Jesus calls the Pharisees and Scribes “hypocrites”[v.6], that is, people who put on a false front. He quotes what God caused Isaiah to prophecy (as in his 29th chapter v.13); for God declared, “This people honours me with their lips, but their heart is far from me, in vain do they worship me; teaching as doctrine the commandments of men.”[v.7]How much worship today is pleasing to God? Only God knows, but the above quotation shows there are two aspects we must get right. Our attitude of heart, worship is not just a ritual, it must reflect the desires we feel in our heart. Secondly, that the things we teach and believe are truly confirmed by God's word.Words we read a week ago in the last chapter of Romans spring to mind, “watch for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites …” [v.17,18] Let us make sure our appetite is fed every day by the word of God, the words of Jesus ringing in our minds, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” [John 6 v.35].
https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Matthew-23_16-22-Woe-Unto-You-Blind-Guides.mp3 How are we to understand swearing, vows, and oaths? Didn't Jesus say not to swear at all? Yet Deuteronomy commands, “You shall fear only the Lord your God… and swear by His name.” How do we reconcile these texts? The Scribes and Pharisees embraced a loophole-laden system of vows — silly as children crossing their fingers, but deadly in its power to defraud. Listen as Pastor Matt unmasks the absurd logic and damning consequences of blind guides in high places — and points us to the only Shepherd who swore truthfully, kept every vow, and bore the covenant curse so His people could live in the unshakable light of His Kingdom.
Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting 15:05 mark.Matthew chapter 9 – Jesus did several miracles. The Scribes and the Pharisees criticized Jesus for everything He did. When He healed the paralyzed person, Jesus told him that his sins were forgiven. They could not accept that Jesus could forgive their sins. When they saw Jesus eating with many tax collectors and sinners, the Pharisees questioned His disciples for that. Jesus told them that it is not the healthy people who need a physician, but the sick. The intention of Jesus was to keep a close company with the sinners and bring them to the path of God through love.Matthew 9:13- “But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire compassion, and not sacrifice,' for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”യാഗത്തിലല്ല കരുണയിൽ അത്രേ ഞാൻ പ്രസാദിക്കുന്നു എന്നുള്ളതു എന്തു എന്നു പോയി പഠിപ്പിൻ. ഞാൻ നീതിമാന്മാരെ അല്ല പാപികളെ അത്രേ വിളിപ്പാൻ വന്നതു” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.Mercy reflects God's character. Mercy is portrayed as God's character in the Old Testament and the New Testament. Rituals, offerings, and gatherings are valued by God only if people have a genuine relationship with God and among themselves. Rituals without a transformation of the heart is not pleasing to God.My name... Cicilysunny@gmail.com
Jesus had authority over the Chief Priests, Scribes and Elders on the Church, yet they confronted Him and questioned His authority. I think you'd agree, this is not the wisest move these guys could make. But let me ask you this: do you ever question God's authority over your life?
Jesus takes the scribes head-on. He parries with them and wins, every time. Seeing how he does that makes us understand exactly why they want to kill him. But not all of them. Some come very close to the kingdom of God. The Gospels present us with a fascinating account of Jesus' interaction with them, both as a class, and individually.

Our text today is Mark 12:38-40: And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces and have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.” — Mark 12:38-40 Jesus has been teaching in the temple all day, and now he turns from answering questions to issuing a warning. “Beware of the scribes.” He calls them out on their own turf. And notice the exhortation. He does not say to “disagree with them” or “debate them.” He says "beware" as in, be on high alert. Why? Because their spiritual influence looked holy on the outside. They wore the robes. Spoke the language. Took the places of honor. Prayed eloquent prayers. But it was all for show. Underneath the surface, Jesus exposes something far more dangerous: They devoured widows' houses. They used their spiritual authority to manipulate, exploit, and take. Their power was not for people's good, but for their own gain. And Jesus doesn't just call it out—he warns of a greater condemnation. Spiritual leadership without spiritual integrity is deadly. And Jesus is clear. He's not impressed with religious appearances. He sees the robes. The seats. The greetings. The prayers. But more importantly, he sees the motives. Are you living for God's approval or people's applause? This warning isn't just for teachers and pastors, like myself, which is humbling to consider. It's for anyone tempted to put on a spiritual performance. It's for the man who prays in public but won't lead at home. The woman who knows Scripture but won't show grace. The leader who loves attention but won't serve in obscurity. God is not looking for polished people. He's looking for surrendered hearts. So beware of putting on a religious show. It may impress people, but it never fools God. #BewareTheShow, #Mark12, #SpiritualIntegrity ASK THIS: Why does Jesus say “beware” instead of just “disagree”? What does “devouring widows' houses” tell you about the scribes? Where are you tempted to perform spiritually? How can you pursue deeper integrity in your walk with Christ? DO THIS: Ask someone who knows you well: “Do you ever see a gap between what I say spiritually and how I actually live?” PRAY THIS: Jesus, protect me from the temptation to perform spiritually. I don't want appearance—I want authenticity. Shape my heart, not just my image. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Give Me Jesus”
Scribes were the scholars of the Torah. They taught The Law; they were expected to know The Law. What they did was very much like what lawyers do today. Knowing what they did, and how they were regarded, tells us much of what they were like when Jesus encountered them.
Who were the scribes - a remarkable class of people who arose in about the 5th century B.C. and gave us the Bible in written form? Why would we find them involved in the Crucifixion of Jesus several centuries later? I think I know why; they were lawyers like I am.
Later scribes altered and expanded Bishop Ignatius' letter to the Romans to elevate its christology. This week's episode will examine four of the most controversial additions to Ignatius' authentic letter to see how later editors corrupted his views of the person of Jesus Christ.
