They viewed the sky as a vault resting on foundations—perhaps mountains—with doors and windows that let in the rain. God dwelt above the sky, hidden in cloud and majesty.

The world was viewed as a disk �oating on the waters, secured or moored by pillars. The earth was the only known domain—the realm beyond it was considered unknowable.

The Underworld (Sheol) was a watery or dusty prison from which no one returned. Regarded as a physical place beneath the earth, it could be reached only through death.

The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl

44 “The king dom of heav en is like trea sure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.

45 “Again, the king dom of heav en is like a merchant look ing for fine pearls. 46 When he found one

40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his an gels, and they will weed out of his king dom ev ery thing that caus es sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blaz ing fur nace, where there will be weep ing and gnash ing of teeth. 43 Then the righ teous will shine like the sun in the king dom of their Fa ther. Who ev er has ears, let them hear.

13:42 blazing furnace Fire is a common symbol for divine judgment. See note on Lk 3:9. weeping and gnashing of teeth This refers to the day of final judg-ment (Rev 20:11 – 15). Once God’s judgment comes, it will be unbearable for those who have not chosen to follow Jesus. See note on Mt 8:12.13:43 the righ teous will shine like the sun An allu-sion to Da 12:3.

13:44 – 46 These two parables describe the great value of the kingdom of heaven, as well as the extreme and urgent measures people should take because of it.

13:46 he went away and sold everything The point is not that the man purchased a place in the kingdom of heaven, but rather that entering the kingdom is worth giving up everything.

Temple ComparisonHerod the Great’s expansion of the second temple in Jerusalem, begun around 20 BC, made the temple more than twice the size of Solomon’s temple, �nished in 960 BC. Herod the Great ruled Judea at Jesus’ birth and attempted to kill him (Mt 2:1–20). Herod the Great’s son, Herod Antipas, became tetrarch of Galilee and Perea in 4 BC. He is the Herod involved in John the Baptist’s execution and Jesus’ trial (Mt 14:1–12; Luke 9:7–9; 23:6–12).

15 As eve ning ap proached, the dis ci ples came to him and said, “This is a re mote place, and it’s al ready get ting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the vil lag es and buy them selves some food.”

16 Jesus re plied, “They do not need to go away. You give them some thing to eat.”

17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they an swered.

18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he direct ed the peo ple to sit down on the grass. Tak ing the five loaves and the two fish and look ing up to heav en, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the dis ci ples, and the dis ci ples

14:20 twelve basketfuls One per disciple. In the OT, God fed his people with manna, but there were no edible leftovers (Ex 16:14 – 21).

Sailboats of this period had only a mast and “yard,” and were used near shore under favorable wind conditions.

Ancient �shing vessels were small and not very stable or maneuverable.

The �shing technique of this period required that �shermen frequently dive into the water. Consequently, �shermen often worked without clothing (see Jn 21:7).

25:8 I have done nothing wrong Judging by Paul’s response, the Jewish leaders had apparently repeated their earlier false accusations that Paul had incited sedition and desecrated the temple (24:5 – 6). See the infographic “Herod’s Temple” on p. 1626.25:9 to Jerusalem Festus acquiesces to the Jews’ wish for Paul to be tried in Jerusalem, but he offers to preside at the trial. Paul’s response indicates that he

suspects Festus is really intending to hand him over to the Jewish authorities.25:10 Caesar’s court Festus is acting as Caesar’s representative when he makes judicial decisions. Paul is saying that, since he has discredited the Jewish accusa-tions that he violated the Mosaic Law, a Roman court is the only place where he should be tried.25:11 I appeal to Caesar As a Roman citizen (see

a 13 The Aramaic phrase bar enash means human being. The phrase son of man is retained here because of its use in the New Testament as a title of Jesus, probably based largely on this verse.

7:13 – 14 Following the judgment by the Ancient of Days, a human Messianic figure appears. He is presented before the Ancient One and given a dominion that will never pass away.

7:13 one like a son of man The Aramaic phrase used here is an idiom that can be translated as “one like a human being.” Jesus adopts this phrase as a title (“Son of Man”). “One like a son of man” is probably best under-stood as a Messianic reference — which makes the most sense in light of Da 7:14. If the vision of ch. 7 parallels that of ch. 2, the figure refers to the fifth kingdom (2:44). Mes-sianic expectations of the time anticipated one who would drive out foreign enemies, legitimize the temple religion and usher in a period of utopia for the people of Israel.

7:15 – 28 For the first time in the book, Daniel could not make sense of a vision and needed someone to explain it to him. He questions one of the throne room attendants, who clarifies the meaning of the beasts and the little horn. The account ends with the anticipation of God’s kingdom and a glimmer of hope. The vision will be expanded upon in later chapters.

7:16 I approached one of those standing there Perhaps Gabriel (see 9:21).7:17 four great beasts are four kings The four kings represent four kingdoms (see v. 3 and note).7:18 the holy people of the Most High The Aramaic word used here is probably an inclusive term referring to saints and angels.
