What kind of Messiah is that?
He’s knocking about with those tax collectors and sinners – eating and drinking with them. I think I just saw him laugh at one of their jokes. Does this man not know who he’s dealing with?
What’s that? Zacchaeus??? He’s going to have a meal with that fraud? At his house? I’ll never forget when that crook robbed my Mum blind of 30% interest on her taxes, and he’s gooing to have dinner with the likes of him?? Does this man not know who he’s dealing with?
Wait a minute, what? A leper – that filthy specimen? He did what??? Touched him? As in literally reached out and touched the guy? A leper! Touched by him? Wasn’t he rendered unclean? Didn’t he catch anything? Does this man not know who he’s dealing with?
You gotta be kidding me. You must be joking, I can’t believe that. He spat on the ground and made mud with his saliva? And he put it on a man’s eyes – that is gross. Why did he soil and muddy his hands like that? Hold on a minute he did that when? But … but … that’s a Sabbath. You can’t be doing that work on the Sabbath. He did what? Sent him somewhere to get his eyes washed – on the Sabbath? Is he deliberately looking to be idiotic or is this by coincidence. Does he not know the law? Does this man not know who he’s dealing with?
This is getting ridiculous. But she’s a woman … a Samaritan woman at that. We don’t talk to their kind. Everyone knows that. What’s he talking to her for? Doesn’t he know what she does … ahem … for a living? What kind of nonsense is this, he surely must not have a clue at all. This goes against the protocol. Doesn’t he know who he’s dealing with?
For a Messiah he’s really getting his hands dirty getting involved with the the likes of these people. He must have lost his mind. Still, I’m sure his followers would not be so ill advised and ridiculous as to get themselves involved with similar types of so-called people.
For His Name’s Sake
Shalom
