A Jew must not marry the daughter of the people
of the land for they are unclean animals and
their women forbidden reptiles. And with respect
to their daughters the Scriptures write, Cursed
be he that lieth with any manner of beast.
(Deuteronomy 1721)

"One must utter three doxologies every day
Praise God that he did not create me a heathen!
Praise God that he did not create me a woman!
Praise God that he did not create me an
illiterate person! Rabbi Judah ben Elai, 150
C.E.

Do you know what I have done to you? You call
me Teacher and Lord--and you are right, for that
is what I am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher,
have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one
another's feet. John 1312-14, NRSV
9
You know that those who are regarded as rulers
of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high
officials exercise authority over them. Not so
with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great
among you must be your servant, and whoever wants
to be first must be slave of all. For even the
Son of Man did not come to be served, but to
serve, and to give his life as a ransom for
many. Mark 1042-45, NIV
10
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to
show that this all-surpassing power is from God
and not from us. 2 Corinthians 47, NIV
