What a beautiful, powerful promise that is. 141 Hagner, Donald A., Matthew 1-13, WBC 33a (Dallas: Word, 1993), 64. John Piper's penetrating devotional questions from his reflection on this passage illustrate a relevant application of this point: Fasting poses the question: do we miss him? What he said is No, not now. Xiv (675b-676a); Aeschylus, The Libation Bearers, 246ff. The upper chamber; perhaps the same room where they had eaten the Passover with Christ (Luke 22:12); but this is very uncertain, though affirmed by Epiphanius, and by Nicephorus, who further relates that the very house in which the upper chamber was built into the back part of the temple which the Empress Helena erected on Mount Sion. As far as being judgmental, that connotates being harsh in a godly way. 7th Sunday of Easter. In contrast, he tells his disciples to obey these commandments at an attitudinal, or heart level: the command not to murder is kept by not being angry with another, not committing adultery and divorcing is prevented by not lusting, not breaking a vow is prevented by not making a vow at all, and talionic justice is replaced by loving one's enemies and doing them good. In regard to the list of the apostles which follows, it may be noticed first, that it is identical with that of Luke 6:14-16, except in the omission of Judas Iscariot and the order in which the apostles are named.

There seems to be something of a hierarchy of practical righteousness being set up here, with the lowest rung being hypocrisy, which the best of pagans rise above, to the highest level of true, heart worship of the all-seeing God, that is demanded of Jesus' disciples. Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? In fact, the early church practiced fasting (Acts 13:2-3, 14:23), and these words from Jesus could easily have been seen as validation of the practice.
