Bible Question: What did Jesus mean when he said, " physician heal thyself? |
Bible Answer: If you read the passage, Jesus has returned to Nazareth and has just read from Isaiah in the synagogue. Now remember, this is where he was raised. Everyone there knew him, his mother and father, his brothers, and family. They also would have heard the rumors about him. So instead of waiting for them to ask for a miracle, Jesus heads them off as it were, and tells them essentially that he's not a magician to perform for them. That he's there to minister and will do as he needs to do, not do what pleases them. Naturally this makes them mad and drove him out of the city. He proves something that I personally have witnessed and experienced several times. If you go to where you were raised, people who remember you as a child will instinctively treat you like one until something happens that makes them think otherwise. Jesusman |
