...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed. The biblical stories are seen as fables. In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Holy Scriptures have been placed in categories that correspond to expressive sayings and phrases. Reference information, background information and links connecting the people and places are given to help you find a place to begin reading the Bible for yourself.

They're Looking for You
And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. And all the city was gathered together at the door. And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him. And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.-Mark 1:29-37***Simon Peter and Andrew were Israelites and fishermen from Bethsaida in Galilee. John the Baptist was an Israelite from the tribe of Levi, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist. At least 40 days after John the Baptist baptized Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, in the Jordan River, Andrew and another disciple heard John the Baptist proclaim Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. Andrew and the other disciple spent time with Jesus, and Andrew told his brother Simon Peter about Jesus the Christ. Jesus told Simon Peter and Andrew to follow him, and Jesus told Simon Peter's fishing business partners James and John to follow him, and Jesus told Philip, an Israelite from Bethsaida, to follow him. Jesus saw the mother of James and John when James and John's mother came to make a special request, and Jesus saw Simon Peter's mother-in-law when Jesus was in Capernaum in Galilee and healed the mother-in-law.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
