peters gets saveed

." 6 And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. 7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord." 9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, 10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men."

I THINK THIS IS WHERE PETER FOR GAVED. He sees that Jesus is God. He then bows to him and said he is a sinner and asks Jesus for help. Here is how to be saved know your a sinner and then before Jesus seek him and his forgiveness. I do not see repent as a turn but I see repent as Hey you got me I am a sinner and I need Jesus to save me.

17 On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with him to heal. 18 And behold, some men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and lay him before Jesus, 19 but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus. 20 And when he saw their faith, he said, "Man, your sins are forgiven you." 21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, "Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?" 22 When Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered them, "Why do you question in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'? 24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--he said to the man who was paralyzed--"I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home

Love this passage Note Jesus forgives sins then proves he is God. Jesus know the thoughts of the Leaders and then said he is God and proves it because he heals the person. Jesus is God in the flesh. Look at what he thinks and see the people. He forgives sinners. Jesus is sdo kind he is like giving the people the chance to see he is indeed God yet they do not take it

COMPSION

Compassion on the Mount

²⁹ Jesus departed from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there. ³⁰ Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’feet, and He healed them. ³¹ So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

—Matthew 15:29–31

The tour into the region of Tyre and Sidon may have lasted several weeks, giving Jesus time with His disciples. From there He returned to the region of Galilee, as reported by Mark (7:31–8:9), evidently going to the east shore in the Hellenistic region. That this was a Gentile area is suggested by the words “they glorified the God of Israel.” It may well have been deliberate on the part of Jesus to follow His ministry to the Syrophoenician woman by going to the Decapolis.

Having studied the Sermon on the Mount, we now have the healing on the Mount. Word is matched by deed throughout Jesus’ ministry. In Acts 1:1–2 Luke writes “of all that Jesus began to do and to teach.” The deed demonstrates the word, and the word interprets the deed. The deed authenticates the word and the word articulates the meaning of the deed. And yet, deeds of compassion need few words. The comparison with the Sermon on the Mount is suggested in the words of verse 29, that He “sat down there.” This is the symbol of an official act of ministry. Matthew makes a point of the people coming to Him, of their bringing the sick, lame, and blind and placing them at His feet.

There is no other answer for our problems than to place them at the feet of Jesus. The feet that walked upon the water as Lord of creation are now symbolic of His power over creation to minister in compassion and wholeness (note Is. 52:7).¹

The sick and handicapped (vv. 29–31). Jesus departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon and went to the region of the Decapolis. The Decapolis included ten cities that were in a league and were authorized by the Romans to mint their own coins, run their own courts, and have their own armies. This was predominantly Gentile territory.

Jesus healed there a man who was deaf and dumb (Mark 7:31–37). Even though the Lord cautioned the man to be silent, he and his friends spread the account of the miracle abroad. This apparently caused a great crowd to gather—including people who were lame, blind, dumb, and crippled (maimed). Jesus healed these people, and the Gentiles “glorified the God of Israel.”

We cannot help but marvel at the contrast between these Gentiles and the Jewish leaders who knew the Old Testament Scriptures. The Gentiles glorified Israel’s God, but the Jewish leaders said that Jesus was in league with Satan (Matt. 12:22–24). Our Lord’s miracles did not cause the Jewish cities to repent (Matt. 11:20ff), yet the Gentiles believed in Him. The very miracles that He performed should have convinced the Jews that He was the Messiah (Isa. 29:18–19; 35:4–6; Matt. 11:1–6). Jesus marveled at the faith of a Gentile soldier and a Gentile mother. Yet He was amazed at the unbelief of His own people (Mark 6:6).²
