How many times does Jesus talk about money?

Answer 1

Some scriptural examples of Christ mentioning money can be found at:

Matthew 21:12+13 (John 2:13-17), Matthew 25:14-23, Mark 6:7-13, Mark 10:23-25 (Luke 18:24), Mark 12:41-44, Luke 9:2-4.

Money specifically was mentioned by Christ some 30 plus times, and mentioned specifically some 280 times in The Bible. Many other times was it taught as well without directly mentioning money by Christ. It is one of the most common talked about things in the Bible for a simple reason. A person's attitude towards their money or possessions in relation to giving for support of ministries, the poor etc is a very accurate physical barometer on the reality of a persons faith and trust in God. That saying, "put your money where your mouth is!", completely relates to matters of faith. If your going to be stingy and hoarding of this form of power and control in your life (money), how can you honestly say that God can really do anything with you in this life, because to do that, he requires total submission to His will. Those who blow it with their finances, will also blow it in every other department, guaranteed.
