  @paulie From Wiki, I found out about Photini. I didn't know she, Photini, believed Jesus was the Christ foretold and became a saint. She converted so many people to Christianity that she was seen as equal to the apostles until Emperor Nero found out about her and had her killed by having her thrown down a dry well. So this is also her life's turning point. She was surprised he spoke to her because at that time many Jewish people would not talk to Samaritans. And I thought Jesus only converted Jewish folks to follow his way. Because she is female and nonJewish to boot, I'm surprised her story made it into the chosen texts of the Bible in 300's AD when they chose which books/stories would be canon and which would not. So this image and the story behind it surprised me in a lot of different ways.

  @paulie I remembered Jesus healing children but not that servant. I was into reading the Bible in high school, read it through twice but I liked the old testament better because of the stories. New testament was a bit talky to me so not as fun to read. Except for Revelations. That was a fun read to. I do remember feeling the apostles were a lot more narrow-minded than Jesus. He was constantly telling them it was more important what a person believed and their actions rather than what they were born as.

  Jesus was there primarily for His people, but also considered all humanity as His people to a degree. "First the Jew and then the Gentile" There are numerous accounts of his not caring about status or bloodline, the story of the healing of the Roman Centurian's servant leaps to mind. There were times when he rebuked his own apostles over their complaints about his wasting his time with the heathen.

  Fantastic creation, Paulie 🩶🩶 My dad was a huge fan of Johnny Cash when I was growing up – I grew to like his work later on. It was his later stuff that got me into it 🥰

  It was new to me too! I could not remember the name of the one I was looking for, and stumbled onto this one!

  Fabulous image. I mostly no Cash from the American Series. His intrepretations of classic songs are amazing

  When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. "Lord," he said, "my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly." Jesus said to him, "Shall I come and heal him?" The centurion replied, "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, "Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would."

  darn accidentally erased my comment again. This is a very cool image. I didn't know this song of Johnny Cash. I also didn't remember and may not have know the story of his meeting the Samaritan woman, Photini, at the well. This is a great rendition of their meeting.
