Pug and Slyboots have both given the Right answer!

And as for their reward, they shall be given a denarius.

No matter what time you started to work in the vineyard, you’ll receive a denarius all the same. (Matt. 20: 9-10)
Could also be a reminder to render Caesar’s what is his and to God’s what is His. (Matt. 22: 21)

Now who shall answer the third picture?

http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/3949/goodshepherdfi7.jpg

Clues:
  1. This is a discourse by Jesus.
  2. This discourse of His has inspired many paintings of Jesus of a particular type.
  3. This happened somewhere after the Blind Man was healed using mud and just before the Raising of Lazarus.
  4. This appeared in the Passion of the Christ as a flashback.
  5. This appears in the Gospel of John (inferred in clue no. 3, above), and does not have any parallel in the Synoptics.
  6. While it does not have any parallel in the Synoptics (already mentioned above), the idea that Jesus is using here is also present in a certain parable in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
  7. When Jesus preached this, the crowds were once again scandalized.
 
difficult to guess :hmmm:

The only thing that comes to my mind is the parable of the Good Shepherd. (I liken some of the images in the picture to sheep) :rolleyes:

You know what, you’re actually correct. Jesus is actually pointing to a shepherd with his flock marching with him in the picture.

Now, you should give the citations. My final question is, Where is the Parable of the Good Shepherd in the Gospel of John? :rolleyes:
 
Praise the Lord, I got the correct answer :dancing:

The parable of the Good Shepherd is in John 10: 1-21

10:1 “I tell you the solemn truth, the one who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber. 10:2 The one who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 10:3 The doorkeeper opens the door for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 10:4 When he has brought all his own sheep out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice. 10:5 They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not recognize the stranger’s voice.” 10:6 Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 10:12 The hired hand, who is not a shepherd and does not own sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and runs away. So the wolf attacks the sheep and scatters them. 10:13 Because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep, he runs away.

Peace & blessings :angel1:

Time for a multi-question once again…The former rules apply (One person, one question)

Question 1:
http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/2169/egyptobs8.jpg

Clue:
  1. This is in the Gospel of Matthew.
  2. The Holy Family is running away from someone here.
Question 2:
http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/6582/innocenteskb9.png
Clues:

http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/2307/temptatio2bz6.jpg
http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3456/temptatio3fx3.jpg
  1. There are three pictures, but these are of one event.

  1. This happened after the event in question 3.
  2. The two men are Peter and Andrew.
Okay, go!
 
So many nice questions 😉

Picture 1: The Holy Family’s flight to Egypt after king Herod’s edict for the massacre of the infants
(Matthew 2:13. And after they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him.)

Picture 2: The slaughter of the infants in Bethlehem & its vicinity 😦
(Matthew 2:16. Then Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceeding angry: and sending killed all the menchildren that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
2:17-18. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: A voice in Rama was heard, lamentation and great mourning; Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

Picture 3: Jesus is tempted by Satan in the wilderness at the end of His forty-day fast. The three temptations in Matthew are a) Satan asks Jesus to miraculously transform stones into bread b) Satan asks Jesus to jump off the highest point of the Temple c) Satan asks Jesus to do him homage
(Matthew 4: 1-11)

Picture 4: Jesus talks to Nicodemus about rebirth through God’s Spirit & gaining eternal life through faith in the only Son of God
(John 3: 1-21)

Picture 5: Jesus calls Peter & his brother Andrew to be His disciples
(Matthew 4: 18-20: And Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers). And he saith to them: Come ye after me, and I will make you to be fishers of men. And they immediately leaving their nets, followed him.

I hope I have done well :o (Please make it more difficult without any clues next time)

Peace & blessings,
Angelos N.
 
Actually, you answered all questions though you are supposed to answer only one.

But don’t worry, we’re humans that commit mistakes after all, so you’ll still win…

A Trip to Jerusalem, starting from the Markets in the North, to Hyrcanus’ Monument, the Tyropoeon Valley up to Wilson’s Arch, then going to the Antonia Fortress…



then out to the Pool of Bethesda, then back inside the City, then to the Damascus Gate and back, to Herod’s Bridge and out to the Western Gate, where you can see the Execution site called the Skull…



then back inside to Herod’s Palace and to the Agora up to the Chief Priest Annas’ and the Hasmonean Palaces. Then to Herod’s theater, to the Lower City (the poorer part of Jerusalem) and to the Hippodrome.



from there up to the City of David and the Pool of Siloam, then we pass through the Lower City again to go to the Upper City…



In the Upper City is the Tomb of David (seen in the picture) and the Residence of the High Priest Caiaphas.

Then from Caiaphas’ Palace to the Dyer’s Quarter, where the Upper Room is, then back to the Lower City to the Tomb of the Prophetess Huldah. We then enter the Huldah Gates to reach the Royal Porticoes (the Porch of Solomon). Then inside, we reach the Court of the Gentiles. And since we’re not Jews and could not step beyond the Court to enter the inner courts of the Temple without being killed as written by law, we’ll have to be content to stop here.



Then to finish, we’ll go out through the Golden Gate, to the Bridge across the Kidron Valley up to the Mount of Olives.
 
I am very very sorry to have misunderstood you. I thought I was supposed to answer all the questions 😦 😦

Thanks for the gorgeous gift! I had never been to Jerusalem before. :bounce:

Peace & blessings (happy lenten),

Angelos N. :blessyou:

Don’t worry,

and may you have a Blessed Lenten Season too. 👍
 
Since we are entering the Great and Holy season of Lent these questions have a connection to the Passion story. (That’s an extra clue for you) 😃

Now, former rules apply, which is “a poster can only pick one question and answer that particular question.” So since there are two pictures now, a poster can pick one picture and post his answer, then another poster picks the other picture.

Question 1:
http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/9165/beatingkq4.jpg

Question 2:
http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/8378/judasuq5.jpg

Go!
 
I want to try it again 😃

This time I am picking the second picture: This is Judas Iscariot, whose feeling of guilt - because of betraying the Lord - and pangs of remorse (maybe as well as disappointment) instigated him to take his own life:

Matthew 27: 3-5 Then** Judas**, who betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting himself, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and ancients, Saying: I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. But they said: What is that to us? Look thou to it. And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed and went and hanged himself with an halter.

Peace to you 😉
Angelos N.
 
Concerning the first picture, it has parallel passages, so I’ll give the one from Luke.

Luke 22:64 They blindfolded him and questioned him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?”

By the way, if I haven’t said so before, you’ve made up a great idea for a thread!
 
Both of you are correct, so you’ll both receive:

http://www.burningcross.net/inquisition/scrolls/scroll.jpg

A scroll you can read or display on your home…



And Parable Farmer brand Yeast! to help you remind that the Kingdom of God is like a yeast that makes the whole batch grow (Matt. 13: 33; Lk. 13: 18-21, Gal. 5: 9). Also a reminder to avoid the Leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees (Matt. 16: 6-12) and to not celebrate the Pasch with the Leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the Azyme (Unleavened Bread) of Sincerity and truth (1 Cor. 5:8)
