Thematic Bible: Condescension of


Thematic Bible




who stoops down to look
on the heavens and the earth?


Though the Lord is exalted,
He takes note of the humble;
but He knows the haughty from a distance.

When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

because He has looked with favor
on the humble condition of His slave.
Surely, from now on all generations
will call me blessed,

So He got up from supper, laid aside His robe, took a towel, and tied it around Himself.

Having said this, He showed them His hands and His side. So the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

Then He said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and observe My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Don’t be an unbeliever, but a believer.”
