A Certain Someone

When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.-Matthew 8:16-22***Paul (Saul) was an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 2nd wife Rachel, and Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin. Sometime after Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the disciple and apostle, and Jesus was arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, and returned to heaven, Paul believed Jesus to be the Christ. Paul the apostle journeyed and wrote divinely inspired letters, teaching the good news of Jesus the the Christ and everlasting life to Israelites and Gentiles, people not born into the Israelite tribes. Throughout his journeys, Paul did not live in a permanent home. Paul received lodging and some finances from believers in the places he visited, including assistance from believers in Macedonia, Philippi, and Paul supported himself and those with him by working as a tentmaker. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Abraham became wealthy after moving away from Ur in southern Mesopotamia with Sarah, their father Terah, and nephew Lot and living in Haran. After leaving Haran and settling in Canaan, and after staying temporarily in Egypt and returning to Canaan, Abraham and Lot grew wealthier. Yet, Abraham, Sarah and their son Isaac did not build permanent homes for themselves. Jacob built a home in Succoth after living in Haran for 20 years. Shortly thereafter, Jacob and his family, including Judah, the 4th son born to Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, began living in tents again. Over 1,800 years after 147-year-old Jacob died in Egypt and Judah and his siblings buried Jacob's body in Canaan,  Jesus the Christ was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born in Bethlehem, Judea, into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. After staying in Egypt temporarily, Joseph, Mary and Jesus lived in the family home in Nazareth, Galilee. Joseph was a craftsman and Jesus worked as a carpenter. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist, from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. 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 for 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 to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-20, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40, 9:35-44, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-8:4, 9:1-31, 11:19-28:31, Roman, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon

Reference Scriptures:

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.-Isaiah 53:4-5
