Day 17 Jan 17 Genesis 35:1-36:43 Matthew 12:1-21 Psalm 15:1-5 Proverbs3:21-26

Genesis 35:1-36:43
God directs Jacob to get rid of all the pagan idols and move to Bethel and to build an altar there.They buried all their idols and earnings under a great tree, as they left God protected them.. It explains of Rachel dying shortly after giving birth, the monument is still there to this day. It strikes me as odd that there is solid concrete proof of the bible thousands of years after the facts and people still refuse to believe.
Matthew 12:1-21
Pharisees question Jesus's disciples for breaking off heads of grain and eating them on the Sabbath.The Pharisees contention was that the disciples were working on the Sabbath. Jesus starts condemning these people saying they don`t understand the meanings of the scriptures. They tried to trick him when he went to there synagogue there was a man with deformed hand and they asked Jesus if he was allowed to heal on the Sabbath. Jesus healed the mans hand and for doing this the Pharisees started a plot to kill him. This again shows the power and depth of Jesus, of course he was aware of there tricks and plots yet he still healed the man.
