Luke 10:33
10:33 But
a Samaritan
who was traveling
came to where the injured man
was, and when he saw him, he felt compassion for him.
Luke 17:16
17:16 He
fell with his face to the ground
at Jesus’ feet and thanked him.
(Now
he was a Samaritan.)
Luke 17:2
17:2 It would be better for him to have a millstone
tied around his neck and be thrown into the sea
than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.
Luke 17:24-33
17:24 For just like the lightning flashes
and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
17:25 But first he must
suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
17:26 Just
as it was
in the days of Noah,
so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man.
17:27 People
were eating,
they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage – right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then
the flood came and destroyed them all.
17:28 Likewise, just as it was
in the days of Lot, people
were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;
17:29 but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
17:30 It will be the same on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
17:31 On that day, anyone who is on the roof,
with his goods in the house, must not come down
to take them away, and likewise the person in the field must not turn back.
17:32 Remember Lot’s wife!
17:33 Whoever tries to keep
his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life
will preserve it.
Ezra 4:1-5
Opposition to the Building Efforts
4:1 When the enemies of Judah and Benjamin learned that the former exiles were building a temple for the Lord God of Israel,
4:2 they came to Zerubbabel and the leaders and said to them, “Let us help you build, for like you we seek your God and we have been sacrificing to him from the time of King Esarhaddon of Assyria, who brought us here.”
4:3 But Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the rest of the leaders of Israel said to them, “You have no right to help us build the temple of our God. We will build it by ourselves for the Lord God of Israel, just as King Cyrus, the king of Persia, has commanded us.”
4:4 Then the local people began to discourage the people of Judah and to dishearten them from building.
4:5 They were hiring advisers to oppose them, so as to frustrate their plans, throughout the time of King Cyrus of Persia until the reign of King Darius of Persia.
John 8:48
8:48 The Judeans replied, “Aren’t we correct in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?”
