A Explanation Of The Bible

The biblical narrative derived for this composition origins from the gospel writings according to St. Luke in “The Holy Bible.” Within his writings, Luke recounts the Passover, Christ’s warning of the betrayal, and the night of the betrayal. On the night of the betrayal, he recounts Christ waking the sleeping disciples, Judas amongst them, explaining him rising to bestow a kiss onto Christ. St. Luke states: “And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him” (Luke 21:47). Giotto’s fresco directly becomes influenced from this scene, and becomes the point of action he creates within his biblical narrative fresco. His composition marks the beginning of the chaos that clouds Christ’s arrest; illustrating the powerful confrontation Christ and Judas are compelled into. While Christ is depicted unwavering in his pose and expression, Judas is rendered in a furious facial expression and stance. His face is inflated more so than Christ’s, illustrating the swelling of corruption beneath his physical features. He appears almost to gaze hatefully towards Christ, as his eyebrows become fused tightly together and appear to create a tension within his form. He pose is similar to an animalistic stance; he has one hand on Christ’s shoulder to draw him in nearer, while enclosing his long yellow cloak around his figure to envelop him within this grasp. By Judas’ expression and stance, Giotto depicts

Throughout the first half of the book of Matthew, Jesus hinted at a forthcoming death but the first time Jesus blatantly predicted his death and warned his disciples was in chapter 16:21. The second time Jesus foretold the upcoming crucifixion was in 17:22 and third and final time was in 20:17. Concurrently in this unit, there is a transfer of power. Jesus was taken to Pontius Pilate because as the governor, he was responsible to make tough judgments for the state.

Pontius Pilate did not want to sentence Jesus’s death and even tried saving him couple of times. For example, when Pilate was reminded that it was customary to free a prisoner during the festival, he tried to use this as an excuse to release Jesus. However, the people chose another person, Barabbas. Barabbas was a criminal who committed robbery and murder. People chose to save this criminal over someone who did not commit any sin. Pontius Pilate must have been really frustrated with this decision and how stubborn these people

When examined through a semi-technical lens, the Bible designates a significant amount of passage-space to the discussion of economic matters. Many of Jesus’ parables and the book of Proverbs seem heavily focused on such a topic. However, the Bible is far from a standard textbook that could be used in an economics class. The Bible does not go into detail explaining economic principles such as monetary and fiscal policies, aggregate supply and demand curves, inflation, etc. Instead, from a Christian perspective, the Bible acts as a framework for our actions, attitudes, and views surrounding wealth and the actions taken by ourselves and others, including national governments. One crucial aspect of economics that proves to be a significant motivating

The Pharisees came together and ended up sending a lawyer to question Jesus to test him. People who questioned his authority or tested him ended up being amazed or astounded by his response and teachings. According to Jesus, God will come and judge us all the good and the evil at an unexpected hour. Judas, one of his twelve disciplines betrayed Jesus with a kiss and for thirty pieces of silver. Peter, another of his twelve disciplines betrays Jesus by denying him three times. Judas repented and returned the thirty silver pieces and committed suicide. The governor as accustomed asked the crowd to pick a prisoner to be released, the options were Jesus, the son of God, and Jesus Barraban, the prisoner. The priests and the elders however persuaded the crowds to choose for the other prisoner instead of Jesus and condemn Jesus to death. After they crucified Jesus, the chief priests, scribes, elders, and the two crucified men whom were next to him challenged him to come down from the cross and save himself if he was the “Son of the Man” but Jesus ignored them. After his death God cried out loud for God, and after his second cry the temple was split in two and so were the rocks. The people who were watching Jesus now believed that he was “truly the son of

In the book of Matthew, Jesus’ story of his crucifixion plays out. His case is brought before Pontius Pilate who rules in Judaea as a judge. Usually at these events “the governor was accustomed to release a prisoner for the crowd, anyone whom they wanted” (Matthew 27:15). The crowd has two choices: Jesus, someone who had had a history of healing and teaching or Barabbas, a convicted murderer and rebel; they choose Barabbas. Pilate wonders why the crowd wants Jesus to be killed so badly. Although Pilate tries to challenge them, they start to riot. He then washes his hands and proclaims to the crowd that he is “innocent of this man's blood” (Matthew 27:24), sentencing Jesus to be crucified and Barabbas to be released.

“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of thy womb a reward.

Firstly, I would like to speak of my journey to change, rectify, or should I say modify my behavior. The behavior I wished to modify is the behavior of spending time to grow in the spiritual realm. This is a rather personal subject so I will try to be superficial, but maybe not too superficial. I do not wish to lose the essence or profoundness of the journey.

The reason that the Bible was created because the stories and books in it was chosen because it taught some sort of lesson that related Christianity and showed examples of what to do and what not to do to please the God. The Bible is a collection of books that were written thru out the ages, it wasn't until (referring back to the first discussion question and my opinion on it) J,P,E,D turned the first five books of the Bible that was could have been verbally and physically written by Moses, into the Pentateuch. This started the creation of the Bible by gathering stories that relate to God, that would teach lessons to help them understand God and Jesus. So the Christian followers could read these philosophical lessons at any point

The King James version of the Bible affected many things and had a major impact on society and the English language. It was created by King James to benefit and fill a request given by the puritans to King James. It took seven years to write and it became the English standard version of the Bible. The King James version includes a lot of formal and poetic language to describe stories and events in the other versions of the Bible. It taught the Bible in a different way making it easier for some people to understand and believe in the stories and truths of the Bible. This version is the most influential version of the Bible. It is also the most referred too and the most popular for many groups of people. Overall it is a descriptive and creative translation that combines truth with poetic art and beautiful language appealing to many different groups of people.

Jesus faces another betrayer, One of His most trusted disciples; now, He has two go against Him, except for John, abandon Him. So, He is now facing the jealous, religious leaders, along with the angry and hostile Romans. Peter, along with John, follows Jesus as He is being taken away into custody to face the coming trials and then His crucifixion. Jesus is questioned by the high priest; He is questioned about His teachings and ordered to reveal information about His Disciples. Annas became frustrated that he could not outwit Jesus' humility by his pride, so he sent Him to Caiaphas the high priest. Jesus was handed over to Pontius Pilate for a hearing at the evil requests of the religious leaders who sought His death. So, the crucifixion of

The Bible, one of the world’s most ancient works of literature established into a book several years ago, can be debated to be true or false. However, whether or not it is doesn’t matter because either way it is incredibly fascinating. There are some truths and mysterious secrets embedded within the Bible. I believe the Bible should be taken figuratively rather than literally. To think that a group of writers from the ancient past had integrated stories with important morals and philosophies. The Bible has remained relevant for centuries and unfortunately has been neglected by the ignorance by the generations of today. Believe it or not, languages and popular phrases have been passed from the Bible and they may not even realize it.

The Bible is composed of many different stories and narratives. Each one of these individual stories contributes to the greater story of the Bible; sometimes called the Grand Story of Scripture. Within each Story, they have elements that define the setting, characters, climax, and themes. The overall Grand Story of Scripture contains these elements in each of the five divisions: prologue, epilogue, and three acts in between.

The historical context is important because it helps you to understand the Bible and teaches you about dates, places, and traditions. It helps us to know how people lived, and why they lived in that way. We are able to learn about places Jesus was, where he performed miracles, where he went to give praise and many more stories that are beneficial to our faith.

Andrew, social dimension of sin is important, but I believe the Doctrine of the Bible had the most impact of changing and developing my position on theology. I believe everything falls under the Doctrine of the Bible. Sin exists every day. Erickson states, "Social sin is prevalent in our society and exists alongside individual sin. Persons who oppose sin on a personal level may be drawn into the corporate nature of sin through the evil acts of government, economic structures, or other forms of group identification" (Erickson 2013, 584). I agree with you that it is important for us to be concern about the brothers and sisters in Christ who does not have documentation to be in the United States. Christians should encourage our brothers
