Matthew 8:1 - Additional Comments

This is immediately after the sermon on the mount. He is descending from that mountain. After such incredible words, many now followed Jesus.
It's interesting that so many wanted to follow Jesus despite His strict laws and reproof He delivered, for example:
- Matt 5:20 "For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven."
- Matt 5:22 "... But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire."
- Matt 5:48 "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect."
- Matt 7:1 "Judge not, that you be not judged."
- Matt 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven."
