Scene
(1-8) Jesus' "own town" = Capernaum
(9-18) Tax collector's booth -- Tax collector's house

[Andrew took note of the historicity that Luke brings to the passage.]

Analysis
Matthew drives the narrative with 5 questions in this chapter.
I. (1-8) Question in vs. 4
The answer is walk.
Both literally and metaphorically.
He did it because of vs. 8
II. (9-13) Question in vs. 11
The answer is He came for them.
Remember, they are repenting.
III. (14-17) Question in vs. 14
Answer in vs. 15
Jesus Christ brings joy and is here.
IV. (18-26) No actual question,
But I ask from the passage: Is anyone beyond grace?
The answer: only the unrepentant.
V. (27-37) Question in vs. 28
The point is: what is your answer?
The most important question in the bible.
> Ends with asking
[Andrew is amazed at the unbelief of the scribes. Power corrupts.]
