>l. Why did Jesus spit on the ground and make spittle for healing?
> (Mark 7:33; Mark 8:23; John 9:6)

Yeshua didn't make spittle. He made clay. This happened in reference to
Yeshayahu 6 - where it is said: Smudge their eyes, so they can't see..
Yeshuat was teaching to P'rushim to show them that their eyes was
smudged... The same happened when he put the fingers in the ears of a man
and shouted: Hiffatach! (not: Effata! ) [Hiffatach=open up], which also
refers to Yeshayahu 6 - block their ears.. [until... the cities is waste,
and the land is utterly desolate and without inhabitants (which happened in
the latter part of the 1800s)]

>2. What is the Jewish significance behind the popular term "Thou
>sayest" that Jesus used in answering Pilate? (Matthew 27:11; Mark 15:2)

As far as I see: Yeshua is saying: Yep, you're right..

>3. Why did the centurion politely requested that Jesus not come to
>his house? (Matthew 6:8)

Because, according to Halakha, it was forbidden for a Jew to enter into the
house of a gentile, and this soldier, even if he was a believer, had still
not been proselytized into being a Jew.

>4. What sect of ancient religious schools of thought in the
>first century did Jesus often refer? (Luke 11:39)

The P'rushim and the Tzadduchim

>5. What set of ancient Jewish laws are quoted in Acts 15:28-29?

I have to pass on this one...

>6. Whom was Jesus and other Jews referring when they used
>such terms as "the Synagogue of Satan," "the first-born of Satan" and "your
>father the devil"? (Revelation 2:9; Revelation 3:9; John 8:44)

The term "synagogue of satan" ( remember "satan" is not with a capital "s",
because it is his title - not his name... btw: why should we give him the
honor?) is not original (it merely says: "the congregationbuilding of
satan" - Yeshua was referring to those who claims to be saved, yet are not.

>7. What group of Jews in the first century were famous for
>gathering groups together to disconcert other Jews as they did Jesus in
>Matthew 22?

The P'rushim..

>8. What did Jesus mean by the term "sounding the trumpet" in
>Matthew 6:2?

That we should do good deeds in the quiet, without trying to boast about it.

>9. Why was Jesus so critical of the early Shammanite view
>adhered to by the zealous priests and the moneychangers at the Temple?
(Matthew 23:16-21, Matthew 21:12, 13)

I think I know the answer, but please enlighten me...

>10. What do the terms "to bind" and "to loose" meant in the first
>century and how these were used then? (Matthew 16:19)

"To loose" is "to permit" and "to bind" is "to forbid".

>ll .What is the first century significance of the term "as sounding
>brass, or a tinkling cymbal" used in I Corinthians 13:1?

Sorry.. please enlighten me...

>12. What Jewish style of teaching Jesus was using when He said,
>"lf your right hand offends you, cut it off"? (Matthew 18:8; Mark 9:4

I'd like to be told...
