When<n id="1" /> Jesus heard this he was amazed and said to those who followed him, &#8220;I tell you the truth,<n id="2" /> I have not found such faith in anyone in Israel!

After the demon was cast out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, &#8220;Never has anything like this been seen in Israel!&#8221;

As a result, the crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they praised the God of Israel.p>

&#8220;He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the king of Israel! If he comes down<n id="1" /> now from the cross, we will believe in him!

Jesus answered, &#8220;The most important is: &#8216;<i><b>Listen, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is oneb>.i>

Let the Christ,<n id="1" /> the king of Israel, come down from the cross now, that we may see and believe!&#8221; Those who were crucified with him also spoke abusively to him.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="bodytext">And the child kept growing<n id="1" /> and becoming strong<n id="2" /> in spirit, and he was in the wilderness<n id="3" /> until the day he was revealed<n id="4" /> to Israel.p>

And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha,<n id="1" /> yet<n id="2" /> none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.&#8221;<n id="3" />

that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit<n id="1" /> on thrones judging<n id="2" /> the twelve tribes of Israel.p>

I did not recognize<n id="1" /> him, but I came baptizing with water so that he could be revealed to Israel.&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

<p class="bodytext">So when they had gathered together, they began to ask him,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Lord, is this the time when you are restoring the kingdom to Israel?&#8221;

<p class="bodyblock">Therefore let all the house of Israel know beyond a doubt<n id="1" /> that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified<n id="2" /> both Lord<n id="3" /> and Christ.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

God exalted him<n id="1" /> to his right hand as Leader<n id="2" /> and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.<n id="3" />

But when he was about forty years old, it entered his mind<n id="1" /> to visit his fellow countrymen<n id="2" /> the Israelites.<n id="3" />

This is the Moses who said to the Israelites,<n id="1" /> &#8216;<b><i>God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothersi>b>.&#8217;<n id="2" />

So for this reason I have asked to see you and speak with you, for I am bound with this chain because of the hope of Israel.&#8221;<n id="1" />

But again I ask, didn&#8217;t Israel understand?<n id="1" /> First Moses says, &#8220;<b><i>I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; with a senseless nation I will provoke you to angeri>b>.&#8221;<n id="2" />

But about Israel he says, &#8220;<b><i>All day long I held out my hands to this disobedient and stubborn people!i>b>&#8221;<n id="1" />p>

What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was diligently seeking, but the elect obtained it. The<n id="1" /> rest were hardened,

And so<n id="1" /> all Israel will be saved, as it is written:p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>&#8220;The Deliverer will come out of Zion;i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><i><b>he will remove ungodliness from Jacobb>.i>p>
