Not what they expected
Jesus

• 46After three days they found him in the temple
  courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to
  them and asking them questions. 47Everyone who
  heard him was amazed at his understanding and his
  answers. 48When his parents saw him, they were
  astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why
  have you treated us like this? Your father and I
  have been anxiously searching for you."
• 49"Why were you searching for me?" he asked.
  "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's
  house?" 50But they did not understand what he was
  saying to them.
• Luke 246-50 NIV

Who What
Jesus

Who What
Jesus

• The Powerful
• "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees,
  you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs,

Who What
Jesus

• The Outcasts
• 7When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus
  said to her, "Will you give me a drink?" 8(His
  disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
• 9The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew
  and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me
  for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with
  Samaritans.)
• 10Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of
  God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you
  would have asked him and he would have given you
  living water."

11
Who What
Jesus

• 11"Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to
  draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get
  this living water? 12Are you greater than our
  father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from
  it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks
  and herds?"
• 13Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this
  water will be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks
  the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed,
  the water I give him will become in him a spring
  of water welling up to eternal life." John

Who What
Jesus

• The Wealthy
• 17As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to
  him and fell on his knees before him. "Good
  teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit
  eternal life?"
• 18"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No
  one is goodexcept God alone. 19You know the
  commandments 'Do not murder, do not commit
  adultery, do not steal, do not give false
  testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and
  mother.'d"
• 20"Teacher," he declared, "all these I have kept
  since I was a boy."
• 21Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing
  you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have
  and give to the poor, and you will have treasure
  in heaven. Then come, follow me."
• 22At this the man's face fell. He went away sad,
  because he had great wealth.

13
Who What
Jesus

• 23Jesus looked around and said to his disciples,
  "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom
  of God!"
• 24The disciples were amazed at his words. But
  Jesus said again, "Children, how hard it is to
  enter the kingdom of God! 25It is easier for a
  camel to go through the eye of a needle than for
  a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
• 26The disciples were even more amazed, and said
  to each other, "Who then can be saved?"
• 27Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this
  is impossible, but not with God all things are
  possible with God.
  Mark 1017-27

Who What
Jesus

• The Poor
• 1As he looked up, Jesus saw the rich putting
  their gifts into the temple treasury. 2He also
  saw a poor widow put in two very small copper
  coins. 3"I tell you the truth," he said, "this
  poor widow has put in more than all the others.
  4All these people gave their gifts out of their
  wealth but she out of her poverty put in all she
  had to live on.
  Luke 211-4

  boast. Eph 28-9

Who What
Jesus

• The Sinner
• 3The teachers of the law and the Pharisees
  brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made
  her stand before the group 4and said to Jesus,
  "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of
  adultery. 5In the Law Moses commanded us to stone
  such women. Now what do you say?" 6They were
  using this question as a trap, in order to have a
  basis for accusing him.
• But Jesus bent down and started to write on
  the ground with his finger. 7When they kept on
  questioning him, he straightened up and said to
  them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him
  be the first to throw a stone at her." 8Again he
  stooped down and wrote on the ground.

Who What
Jesus

• 9At this, those who heard began to go away one at
  a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus
  was left, with the woman still standing there.
  10Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman,
  where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
• 11"No one, sir," she said.
• "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus
  declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin.
