I used three Bible commentaries to better understand this passage. Those commentaries were Ellicott Commentary (online)‚ Barnes Commentary (online)‚ and the Benson Commentary (online). Ellicott Bible Commentary Ellicott’s Bible commentary tries to pinpoint in what village Jesus visited. Ellicott points out that one of the lepers was a Samaritan. Since one was a Samaritan it is probable that the village this story took place in was on the border-land of the two provinces. Ellicott finds it significant

There are many comparisons one can draw between King Saul of the Bible and King Macbeth. This essay is an attempt at discerning similarities in the two stories and drawing a sort of comparative moral or thesis from the two. The astonishing level of similarity between the stories presents an almost obvious sense of reproduction. Many speculate Shakespeare as having taken most of the ideas in Macbeth from King Saul’s story in the Holy Bible. While this has not been technically proven it is almost universally

The Bible is filled with a wide variety of heroic figures who possess extraordinary qualities that seemingly enable them to perform exceptional acts. For this reason‚ many find them unrelatable and thus‚ do not strive to emulate their example. However‚ Biblical characters have flaws and traits that are no different than what average people have to offer. Instead‚ it is through God that a person can become a hero. By being able to connect with exceptional individuals such as Gideon‚ Esther‚ and James

It Started With Hard Work November 10 2016 By: Jayden Thomas My Bible Quizzing experiences were usually fun‚ sometimes stressful‚ but I will say that in the end it was all worth it. The learning‚ the stress‚ and the pressure‚ changed me and made me realize an important lesson. That hard work is the ONLY way to truly be good at something. And that is a lesson that I think would be a good one for everyone to learn. I feel that it would change our lives. I know that it changed mine. If hard work was

The Cross Symbol of Love Most often when the Bible attempts to express God’s love‚ it makes a beeline for the cross of Jesus Christ. The cross is God’s statement of just how much He loves us. When we think of the immensity of God’s love‚ the first thing the Bible often asks us to do is to consider the price that was paid. God’s love is very personal toward us. It doesn’t matter where we have been‚ it doesn’t matter what we have done‚ it doesn’t matter what our experienced

There a number texts in the Hebrew Bible that prohibit cult images and are indicative that the ancient Israelite religion was largely aniconic. I think first it is wise to define what aniconism is before asking whether if it is fair to attribute the term to ancient Israelite religion and the Hebrew Bible. I understand aniconism to pertain to the texts that prohibit the visual expression of deities and their iconography‚ most explicit among these of course being the Second Commandment. I will contend

We make them doubt they are children of God‚ and this must be nearly the ultimate blasphemy.
