Funnies in the Bible

Example one: John 9:13-34
We know that the Pharisees hate Jesus as much as they hate the sinners. For they would throw out whoever acknowledged Jesus as the Christ.

However, these passages below contains one of the funniest passages in the Bible. The passages tell us that the Pharisees were investigating the healing of a man born blind, and now they summoned the healed blind man the second time...

26 Then they asked him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"

27 He answered, "I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?"

Pharisees were the noble class of the Jewish society. They dressed in fine clothes and enjoy VIP treatment everywhere they went. How furious they would be to be disrespected by this poor lower class person!

Then they threw him out at the end.

34 To this they replied, "You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!" And they threw him out.

But the story doesn't end here. For this poor fellow had found God outside of the synagogue! Do you rather be poor or be one of the 'privileged' Pharisees?

35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

36 "Who is he, sir?" the man asked. "Tell me so that I may believe in him."

37 Jesus said, "You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you."

38 Then the man said, "Lord, I believe," and he worshiped him.



Then there's another twist at the end. If anyone who's interested, please read till verse 41.
