Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Surprise of the Day

After Jesus’ ascension, he appeared to people “in a different form” so that they did not recognize him until he spoke.

Mark 16:12  –  John 20:11-16  –   John 21:3-8

Fact of the Day

The two on their way to Emmaus thought he was a visitor to the city. Mary thought he was the gardener. Even after seeing him in Jerusalem, the 12 thought he was an old man (called them children). And thought he was just another fisherman.

Do you think he was protecting them? And, if the authorities had seen him alive again, they probably would have killed him again and that would have complicated his resurrections.

Oops of the Day

While Simon of Cyrene carried Jesus’ cross, Jesus walked along with him.

Mark  15:22 – Mark 14:65  –   15:16-19

Fact of the Day

No!  He seems to have collapsed after that.  He had just been beaten by fists of the priests.  Then soldiers beat him on his head and whip lashed his back so much, it was now pure raw meat.  Then the soldiers brought Jesus to Golgotha.  The word “brought” in Greek is “carried” such as “carried a bowl”.  Jesus was so weak, they had to carry him up the hill and keep him alive long enough to kill him.

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Surprise of the Day

In 30 AD, the man carrying a pitcher of water who showed the apostles the upper room for Jesus’ last supper, could have been a Gibeonite.

Mark 14:12-16  – Joshua 9:1-27

Fact of the Day

Around 1500 BC, Joshua was punishing the pagans (who lived in their “promised land” before the Jews did) for worshipping idols and practicing human sacrifice.  Some Amorite tribesmen (the Gibeonites) tricked him, so instead of being killed, were made water carrier slaves forever.

Oops of the Day

Jesus’ agony in the  Garden of Gethsemane was the only time Jesus agonized as much as he did.

Mark 14:33  –  Hebrews 5:7

Fact of the Day

No!  His whole life Jesus begged God with “loud cries” to not have to go through with his death.  (The Greek in Mark for “distress” is “horror”.)

Surprise of the Day

The Creator re-created a man’s eyes?

John 1:1-4; 14  –  Matthew 15:30 – Matthew 8:2-3 – John 9:6

Fact of the Day

This man was born blind.  God made man from clay.  Jesus was the Creator (John 1:2).

Jesus healed the maimed, that meant he made arms and legs grow back. When Jesus healed leprosy, that meant he made healthy skin grow back.

When he formed the clay for the man’s eyes, was he making eyeballs for him?  Anophthalmia is a disease where a person is born without eyeballs.  About 1 in every 5,200 babies is born with this.

Oops of the Day

No prophet ever came from Galilee.

John 7:48-52 – 2 Kings 14:25  –  John 1:43-51

Fact of the Day

No!  Consider the source.  Who was saying this?  Look carefully. Also, notice what they call the worshipers:  A cursed mob that doesn’t even know the Law of Moses.  If they didn’t know, why had they traveled so far to come to the temple in Jerusalem for one of the major feasts of the Jews?

“The Pharisees retorted, “Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him? 49 No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law—there is a curse on them.” 

50 Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked, 51 “Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?” 52 They replied, “Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”

Okay, so let’s “look into it.”  We find that Jonah was from Gath-Hepher, about three miles from Nazareth which was in Galilee.  Annnnd, the city of Capernaum means “city of Nahum”.  Hmmm…

The Jewish  religious leaders were power-hungry liars and killers!

Oops of the Day

At one time, Judas truly believed in Jesus.  But, after three years, he turned on Jesus.

Mark 14:10-11  –  John 6:64

Fact of the Day

No! Judas never believed.

Oops of the Day

A woman anointed Jesus with precious oil worth a year’s wages. That’s a lot of money just to put hairdressing on him in that dry climate.

Mark 14:3 & 5 – Exodus 30:22-30 – Psalm 23: 5 –  Revelation 5:10

Fact of the Day

No! Mary did pay probably an average year’s wages for that oil.  But why?  This was a way for her to make Jesus her Messiah, her anointed one, her priest and king.

And, while we’re at it, when Jesus, our Good Shepherd, anoints our heads with oil, he is also making us priests and kings.
