Chelsae

Jesus was the Messiah (Christ),

the Son of God who was crucified
for the sins of humanity before
rising from the dead, according
to Christian Gospels and early

Who is Jesus?
Christian writings. According to
John 1:1-3, Jesus existed from
03 the beginning. From the
beginning, Jesus was with God,
and Jesus was God. Jesus
became flesh and made His
dwelling among us. Jesus was
tempted in every way, just as we
are. As such, he can sympathize
with our weakness as humans.

Rudolf "If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot

stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not
be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is
divided, he cannot stand; that is the end of him."
Bultmann gives a
long list of such Mark 3:27

THE SAYINGS OF JESUS 11/23
Majella

These are not the only authentic

sayings of Jesus contained in the
11
Gospels. Some are embedded in
stories about Jesus or in his
parables; others were occasioned
by his healings.

Mark Vincent

The saying about a final or

eschatological reversal of
FINAL status, appearing theme in the 12

REVERSAL preaching of Jesus. It appears

in stories and parables in the
expression, “the first shall be
last and the last shall be first.”

Jurgen

In the Canticle of Mary, most

probably a pre-Lukan hymn
modified by Luke to apply to Mary,
it appears in poetic form: "He has

Hendrich

THE BEATITUDES
What we are accustomed to refer to as "the
Beatitudes" vividly illustrates the disturbing character
of Jesus' preaching as well as the theme of final
14
reversal. Drawing on the sayings of Jesus collected
in the Q source, the beatitudes appear in Matthew's
Sermon of the Mount (Matt 5:1-48) and Luke’s
Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:20-49).
 THE SAYINGS OF JESUS 15/23
Zyrel

THE BEATITUDES
Because of the similarities in the two
accounts, many commentators conclude that both
15 versions reflect a sermon of Jesus containing the
beatitudes and a number of specific instructions
defining the response of the disciples in terms of
love of neighbor.

The Poor
THE SAYINGS OF JESUS 20/23
Ruth Ivory

THE POOR
In the Old Testament the word ani was often used
for the poor; it means literally "afflicted." It connotes
those of lower class status who were often oppressed
and lacked the power to defend themselves. The
related form anaw had the same meaning, but often
takes on a religious connotation.
THE SAYINGS OF JESUS 21/23
Maybelene

THE POOR
Economic changes and a double or triple system of taxation in first
century Palestine expanded the number of poor in the land. while the
exclusionary rules of purity added to those marginalized or excluded from
the religious community. Thus in the time of Jesus "the poor" included
more than the economically disadvantaged. the subsistence farmers and
day laborers. The unemployed or underemployed. It also included public
sinners. women, orphans, the illiterate, the mentally ill, those with
disfiguring diseases or bodily injuries. and those whose religious practice
did not measure up to the strict standards of the priestly class
 THE OUR FATHER
THE SAYINGS OF JESUS 22/23
Ian

The Our Father or Lord's Prayer is

thought to go back to Jesus himself.
with probably an Aramaic original
lying behind the Greek of the Q
tradition.' We have two versions (Matt
6:9-13/Luke 11:2-4). both set in the
context of an instruction of Jesus on
22 prayer. Matthew's version has most
probably been expanded. but those
parts shared with Luke are most likely
closer to the original wording. The
prayer addresses God as "Father." a
usage unique in his time to Jesus who
prayed to God as "Abba" (dear Father).
