Lamb vs Goat (Lamb vs Wolf)

This is how different people respond to the Gospel:

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, (Matthew 2:1) Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. (Matthew 2:2) When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. (Matthew 2:3)
When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. (Matthew 2:9) When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. (Matthew 2:10) And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. (Matthew 2:11)
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. (Matthew 2:16)
But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! (Matthew 8:27)
And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. (Matthew 8:28) And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? (Matthew 8:29)
And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts. (Matthew 8:34)

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. (Matthew 9:6) And he arose, and departed to his house. (Matthew 9:7) But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men. (Matthew 9:8)

And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, (Matthew 9:23) He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. (Matthew 9:24)

And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. (Matthew 9:33) But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils. (Matthew 9:34)

And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him. (Matthew 12:10)

Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other. (Matthew 12:13) Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. (Matthew 12:14)

And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? (Matthew 13:54) Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? (Matthew 13:55) And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? (Matthew 13:56) And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. (Matthew 13:57) And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. (Matthew 13:58)

And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. (Matthew 14:5)

And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them: (Matthew 15:30) Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel. (Matthew 15:31)

The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. (Matthew 16:1)

The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? (Matthew 19:3)

Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. (Matthew 19:21) But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. (Matthew 19:22)

And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased, (Matthew 21:15) And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? (Matthew 21:16)

And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. (Matthew 21:45) But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet. (Matthew 21:46)

Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. (Matthew 22:15) And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. (Matthew 22:16) Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? (Matthew 22:17) But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? (Matthew 22:18)

They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. (Matthew 22:21) When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. (Matthew 22:22)

And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine. (Matthew 22:33) But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. (Matthew 22:34) Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, (Matthew 22:35) Master, which is the great commandment in the law? (Matthew 22:36)

And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. (Matthew 26:73) Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. (Matthew 26:74) And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly. (Matthew 26:75)

Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, (Matthew 27:3) Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. (Matthew 27:4) And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. (Matthew 27:5)

And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. (Matthew 27:16) Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? (Matthew 27:17) For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. (Matthew 27:18)

And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, (Matthew 27:39) And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. (Matthew 27:40) Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, (Matthew 27:41) He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. (Matthew 27:42) He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. (Matthew 27:43) The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. (Matthew 27:44)

Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. (Matthew 27:54)

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. (Matthew 28:5) He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. (Matthew 28:6) And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. (Matthew 28:7) And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. (Matthew 28:8)

And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. (Matthew 28:17)
