Tithes and Tithing: Every Verse in the Bible About TithingEsimerkki

Today we are going to look at the few Bible verses about tithing in the new testament and specifically what Jesus said about it. So it is clear that tithing isn’t talked about nearly as much in the New Testament as the Old Testament. Personally, I don’t believe that in any way nullifies the value of it as a practice. Under the New Covenant, our salvation is not based upon our obedience to the 10 Commandments, but does that mean that we shouldn’t still follow them? Are they suddenly of no value? I think the same can be said of tithing. While you can debate all day long about whether or not it is a command for New Testament believers, I don’t see any reason why it would not still provide a blessing just like it did in the Old Covenant. ### JESUS ENDORSED THE TITHE In Matthew 23:23 and Luke 11:42, Jesus referred to tithing as something that should not be neglected… “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.” So if you have been wondering what Jesus said about tithing or if “tithe” is in the New Testament, you have it right there in Luke 11:42.
