Bible Question: I'm looking for a verse in the Bible that says, "when they saw Him they/men turned their heads," or words to that effect. This was after Jesus was beaten. I know this verse is not in the Gospels. I've seen it but can't find it nor can anyone find it for me... Please help me with this verse. You can respond directly at presatama72@sbcglobal.net Thank you and God bless. In His service, Pastor Jack. |
Bible Answer: Welcom to the Forum, Fjord1901. I believe this is that for which you're looking: Luke 22:54 Having arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed at a distance. 55 Now when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them. 56 And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, “This man was also with Him.” 57 But he denied Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.” 58 And after a little while another saw him and said, “You also are of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!” 59 Then after about an hour had passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a Galilean.” 60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” 62 So Peter went out and wept bitterly. Yes the famous Peter, impulsive like so many of us, ready to fight for Jesus but afraid to stand up for Him when He just wants our alligence. Most sermons on this subject contrast this story and Peter's subsequent meeting with His Lord in his underclothes as he was in the water fishing, John 21. The most beautiful aspect is Peter's repentance and restoration to His Lord, later that same chapter. Now the most powerful contrast is shown with the tragic role of Judas. Sure he betrayed His Lord but he too could have repented and been restored but he couldn't forgive himself and instead commits suicide, Matt 27:5. What a tragic yet powerful contrast showing the two basic ways to respond to the Lord's invitation. Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. BTW, this is our preferred manner of responding here on the Forum where everyone can see and participate. We're all interested in getting your input and open a dialouge on this subject. Tell us what motivated you to ask this question. Also, for your reference and assistance in the future, all you need to do to look up a passage in the Bible is use the Search Engine to the right of your screen. I prefer the BibleGateway website. In this case I just inserted "Peter turned" and found the passage in spite of the fact that it was Jesus who turned His Head. That's one of the amazing features; it looks for those two words in the verse. Makes it easy for all of us. Let us know how we can help you further. We're your servants. Go with God in all things, Bill |
