<p>12:35&nbsp;<em>The good man</em>- The good man is as the good tree. His good fruit or works is because of a good mind within- and vice versa. The Lord as always took the issue to its deepest essence- which was within the deepest heart. He was the ultimate &ldquo;good man&rdquo; and good tree. His good works came forth from deep within Him, they were a reflection of His mind.</p>
<p><em>Out of his good treasure brings forth good things-</em>&nbsp;The heart is our wealth. This is the real gold and silver, the core value of a man's life- what we are thinking about. Spiritual mindedness is the essence of Christianity.</p>
<p><em>And the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth</em>- The Lord uses the same word to speak of &quot;this evil (AV &quot;wicked&quot;) generation&quot; in :45. The problem with Jewish society as a whole was how they thought. This is the Biblical emphasis- sin comes from our thinking, and not because society is controlled by a personal cosmic 'satan' figure.</p>
<p><em>Evil things</em>- The words of blasphemy accusing Jesus of being Satan's agent.</p>
