Will I thought it was kinda of strange because that woman was David's wife and she mentioned how she was going to wash the feet of his servants. So that probably means men and women. It would be pretty awkward the wife of your boss to wash your feet? She wasn't married to David yet. It is hospitable to wash the servant's feet and would not be awkward especially since she acknowledged him as her lord.

God's Word is a spoken word. Just like my words are spoken words. When I write them like in a text they lose meaning or maybe the reader interprets it differently than the way it is said.

So is the disciple who Jesus loved/John the only apostle who didn't fall away, when Jesus was arrested and crucified? He was at the cross during the crucifixion and in the building where Jesus was being judged by the high priest.

He was at the cross during the crucifixion and in the building where Jesus was being judged by the high priest. They all fled but Iām sure he wanted to be close to Jesus who is his friend to see what would happen to him. But I guess being arrested was a scary situation for someone to experience especially when they all depended on Jesus. āAnd Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; And they all forsook him, and fled.ā Mark 14:27, 33, 50

Foreshadowing Jesus in Job.
" If only there were someone to mediate between us, someone to bring us together, someone to remove Godās rod from me, so that his terror would frighten me no more. Then I would speak up without fear of him, but as it now stands with me, I cannot. " - Job 9:33-35 NIV

Then I would speak up without fear of him, but as it now stands with me, I cannot. " - Job 9:33-35 NIV Well the KJV is worded differently to where itās more like Job is saying that there isnāt a mediator and Godās authority/power (or rod) and judgement is terrifying to Job who is just a man while God is God far above mortal men. While the NIV is implying Job is hoping there was a mediator. āFor he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both. Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me: Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.ā Job 9:32-35

Seems when Jesus was talking about lost sheep he may have been referencing Psalms.
" I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands. " Psalms 119:176 NIV

" Psalms 119:176 NIV There are many scriptures in the OT, other than the one scripture you referenced, that make mention of Godās people as sheep. Some examples. Isaiah 53:6, Jeremiah 50:6 There are other scriptures that compare His people to sheep.

Interesting how there's a difference between being great in the Kingdom of God and being first.
" Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slaveā " Matthew 20:26-27 NIV

Man the NIV nerfed these verses below compared to other translations. (Jesus in the bosom of tbe Father vs closest relationship with the father) " No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. " - John 1:18 KJV " No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known. " - John 1:18 NIV (Isaiah crying vs calling out) " He said: āI am ā The voice of one crying in the wilderness: āMake straight the way of the LORD,ā ā as the prophet Isaiah said.ā " - John 1:23 KJV " John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, "I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way for the Lord.'" " - John 1:23 NIV Noticed this, while watching a video about Johnny Cash reading the Gospel of John. Barely learned that he recorded himself reading the entire New Testament. youtu.be/PQrVPuzWP24

Seems there's two groups in this verse?
" And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration " - Revelation 17:6 KJV

Why do you think Jesus didn't want the disciple to bury his own father?
Is it because the people around him would try to convince him to not follow Jesus?
" And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead " - Matthew 8:21-22 KJV

I feel when Jesus is saying "the end" in this verse he's talking about himself.
" And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. " - Matthew 24:14 NIV
