Scripture Document 3 John Ch. 4

God asking why? She said, “And I know we are not going to understand, or like what happens in

She has the ladies describe their own lives to others, proclaiming that “their fortunate to live in a Christian home with Christian folks in a Christian town.” The repetition of the word Christian is used to emphasize how important faith is to these women, and how much it really affects their lives. To live without God is seemingly blasphemy here. She ends the rant with the line “Jesus Christ never went around grumbling and complaining”, alluding directly to Jesus himself. This allusion is really used as a guilt trip to the poor maid, drawing an example of what she believed is right.

to the dead and she had asked her to speak to her dead babies and out

her for whenever she gets lonely to remind her of him. The fifth and sixth verses say

Although Capernaum was Jesus' earthly headquarters, its citizenry ignored his prophetic pronouncements and even questioned Jesus' authority. Jesus responded thusly, "I tell you the truth, unless you can eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you." (John 6: 53) Many in the crowd, upon hearing this, "turned back and no longer followed him." (John 60: 61, 66)

In the beginning she says that “a man said that women need to be helped into carriages and lifted over ditches”. She then continues to say that “no one has helped her into carriages or over mud puddles, but she’s a women”. More into the speech she says “the little man in black there say a woman can't have as much rights as a man cause Christ wasn't a woman.” This man is saying that women can’t have the same rights as men because Jesus was a man. Truth then replies with “where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman!” She is saying that without both the man and woman there would be no human life on this earth. Even though Christ wasn’t a woman, we should still have the same

In the speech, she says ‘’ where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man, had nothing to do with

Jesus is serving His disciples again like He did when He washed their feet (John13:1-17) 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” It’s interesting that Jesus could have prepared for them enough food, so that He would not have to ask them to bring the fish they caught. But He did not do that. He wants us to participate in His work and to have some input.

It also follows the story of Nicodemus who came to Jesus in the night and was taught about being born again. Nicodemus was a Pharisee and was referred to as “a ruler of the Jews”(he was a member of the Sanhedrin). Whereas, the woman was just that, a woman, without a husband and a Samaritan––who were even more despised by the Jews. She went to get water at the well in the middle of the day when it was the hottest because that’s when no one else would be there. She met Jesus when it was light, whereas, Nicodemus came in the night. Both were alone with Jesus, but Nicodemus went in the night to hide because he was ashamed of being seen with Jesus. The woman had no intention of hiding, in fact she didn’t even know who Jesus was.

Her husband did not want to live a chaste life, however, he finally compromised with her. In order for him to grant her desire he told her, “My first desire is that we shall lie still together in one bed as we have done before; the second, that you shall pay my debts before you go to Jerusalem; and the third, that you shall eat and drink with me on Fridays as you were wont do(Kempe 427)”. Apprehensive to the

But, being that they saw no one other than her, they thought she had lost her mind. What they did not see was that Jesus was leading one of his soldiers home and she was talking to him.

When Jesus said, “I Am The Resurrection and” “I Am The Life”, Martha heard what she knew, “thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.” 3. Martha did not hear the difference between “I AM THAT I AM” and the Christ that will raise her brother up in the resurrection. 4. Martha knew that Jesus was talking about Himself on a level that she did not have a clue and she got out of the presence of Jesus as fast as possible.

The crowd in this scene was not sensitive to the presence of the woman. The crowd was not aware of her needs nor did the crowd value her (Luke 8:45). There was nothing special about the environment. It was an average day of ministry for Jesus. Unlike the next setting, there is no connection between the

The teachings of Jesus focused primarily on the "the kingdom of God" and were usually relayed through parables drawing on familiar images from agricultural life. He rebuked the hypocrisy of some Jewish leaders and taught the importance of love and kindness, even to one's enemies. Jesus' popularity grew quickly, but so did opposition from local leaders. Roman rulers were uncomfortable with the common perception that he was the Messiah who would liberate the Jews from Roman rule, while Jewish leaders were disquieted by Jesus' shocking interpretations of Jewish law, his power with the people, and the rumor that he had been alluding to his own divinity. In the Gospels, Jesus repeatedly suggests to his disciples his end is near, but they do not fully understand or accept the idea. The clearest expression of this is at the "Last Supper," which took place on the night before his death. All four Gospels record that Jesus shared bread and wine with his disciples, asking them to "do this in remembrance of me." Christians celebrate this event in the sacrament of the Eucharist, or Communion. On this evening Jesus also predicts that one of them will betray him, which is met with astonishment and denial. But that very night, Jesus' fate was sealed when Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples and possibly the group's treasurer, led Roman soldiers to Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. As they arrested Jesus, the ever-colorful Peter defended his master with a sword, slicing off

The passage about the feeding of the multitudes (or the five thousand) is the only miracle by Jesus that is told in all four of the gospels. The story starts of with Jesus attempting to remove himself to a deserted place, but he had become too well-liked to leave without anyone noticing. A crowd of people had followed him, and when Jesus saw them he began to have pity on them and started to heal their sick (Matthew 14: 13-14). This certain scripture teaches us about the messianic banquet and how it indicates to the second verse in Matthew chapter 22 (Brown, 431). In the situation of others who attempted signs in the wilderness in Christ’ day, Jesus' was the only one who sign in the wilderness had a clear messianic statement (Gordon, 28).
