...................................................................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. Notably, Romans 15:4 reveals: For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.(KJV) In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible 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.

No One At All

And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink? And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; If otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.-Luke 5:33-39***Sometime before John the Baptist was born to Zechariah (Zacharias) the priest and his wife Elizabeth (Elisabeth), elderly Israelites from the tribe of Levi, Elizabeth's relative Mary, a virgin, was pledged to wed Joseph, a craftsman.  Before Joseph took Mary home as his bride, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit in Mary's womb when Mary was a virgin. Months after John the Baptist was born to Zechariah and Elizabeth, Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ were born, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men, including Andrew, to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Andrew was the brother of Simon Peter and a disciple of John the Baptist. John the Baptist and the Pharisees taught their disciples the cleansing rituals and other traditions passed down by the Israelite elders. Some of the scribes and Pharisees, and their disciples and the disciples of John the Baptist questioned Jesus about the failure of his disciples to pray, fast or wash their hands before eating. The disciples of John the Baptist told John the Baptist that people were going to Jesus to be baptized. The Pharisees also received information regarding Jesus, his disciples and the baptisms they were performing. The Pharisees were curious about the company Jesus kept and the actions Jesus and his disciples performed on the Sabbath day. When replying to their observations, Jesus would often answer using a parable.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, Exodus, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
