Genesis 37:26-28
26Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it aif we kill our brother and conceal his blood? 27Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and blet not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him. 28Then cMidianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and dsold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels ▼▼A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams
of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt. Judges 1:7
7And Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and their big toes cut off fused to pick up scraps under my table. gAs I have done, so God has repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.1 Samuel 11:2
2But Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make a treaty with you, hthat I gouge out all your right eyes, and thus ibring disgrace on all Israel.”John 19:31-32
Jesus’ Side Is Pierced
31Since it was jthe day of Preparation, and kso that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was la high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. 32So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other mwho had been crucified with him.James 2:13-16
13For njudgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.Faith Without Works Is Dead
14What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith obut does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 pIf a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 qand one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good ▼▼Or benefit
is that?
