TABLE OF CONTENTS*
Divine Version
* The first word in each
index item permits ease of reference for the reader; for
example, use of the word "Teaching" denotes a passage
where Jesus teaches a certain subject in the related
text, and "Reproach" denotes a condemnation. The titles
are also intended to provide one framework of review—of
many possibilities—to ease understanding the related
text; however, the possible interpretations of Jesus’
words are innumerable, and the author hopes that the
titles as chosen, rather than limitation, will serve as
a foundation for empowerment of the reader for those
many interpretations.
