Genesis 10 Verses 1-21

The people who are gathered in front of Jesus did not understand that this bread was provided by God, they thought Moses had fed the people. The bread was sent from heaven to supply for the physical needs of the people. The people do not understand that Jesus can fill them in a way that no bread is able to.

In the Gospel of John 18-33B-37 Pilot and Jesus are having a conversation. Pilot asks Jesus if he is the King of the Jews. Jesus asks Pilot in return if he asked that question because he thought Jesus was the King of the Jews, or because he was told that. Pilot responds to Jesus and said that he was not a Jew and it was his own people who turned in. Pilot then asks Jesus what he has done to make them turn him in. Jesus answers and tells Pilot that his kingdom does not belong to the people of this world. He continues saying that if it did the people would be defending him instead of turning him in as they had done. Pilot asked Jesus for the second time if he was the King of the Jews. This time

The first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis describe many significant events that happened. Warren W. Wiersbe describes these chapters as the one that “deal the humanity in general” (Wiersbe, 2007, p.12).
