Thematic Bible: Admonitions concerning eating


Thematic Bible



Then He said to His disciples: “Therefore I tell you, don’t worry about your life, what you will eat; or about the body, what you will wear.

When you sit down to dine with a ruler, consider carefully what is before you, and stick a knife in your throat if you have a big appetite;


Eat everything that is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience’ sake,

Do not let my heart turn to any evil thing
or perform wicked acts
with men who commit sin.
Do not let me feast on their delicacies.


When you enter any town, and they welcome you, eat the things set before you.
