Mud on my eyes. Washed in the Pool of Siloam. I can see.
JOHN 9:6–7 · BSB
When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes. Then He told him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.

Wait. Isn't that the man who used to sit and beg?

At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”
Taken to the Pharisees. Because it was the Sabbath, apparently.
JOHN 9:13–15 · BSB
They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath. So the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”

This man is not from God. He does not keep the Sabbath.
JOHN 9:16 · BSB
Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.
The leaders called us in. Yes, he's our son. Yes, he was born blind. How he sees now, or who did it, we don't know. Ask him. He's old enough.
JOHN 9:19–21 · BSB
and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?” His parents answered, “We know he is our son, and we know he was born blind. But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.”

They were afraid. Anyone who said Jesus was the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
JOHN 9:22 · BSB
His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
They called me back in. Told me to give glory to God, because they know this man's a sinner. Whether he's a sinner, I don't know. One thing I do know. I was blind, and now I see.
JOHN 9:24–25 · BSB
So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.” He answered, “Whether He is a sinner I do not know. There is one thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!”
They made me go through it all again. I'd already told them, and they didn't listen. So I asked if they wanted to become his disciples too.
JOHN 9:26–27 · BSB
“What did He do to you?” they asked. “How did He open your eyes?” He replied, “I already told you, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”

The king wants young men from Israel’s royal family and nobility. Good-looking, sharp, quick to learn. Three years learning the language and the books of the Babylonians, with food and wine from the king’s own table. Then into the king’s service.
DANIEL 1:3–5 · BSB
Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, the chief of his court officials, to bring in some Israelites from the royal family and the nobility— young men without blemish, handsome, gifted in all wisdom, knowledgeable, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the king’s palace—and to teach them the language and literature of the Chaldeans. The king assigned them daily provisions of the royal food and wine. They were to be trained for three years, after which they were to enter the king’s service.

Among these young men were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. The chief official gave them new names: To Daniel he gave the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.
Made up my mind: I’m not going to make myself unclean with the king’s food and wine. Asked the chief official if I could be excused.

But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king’s food or wine. So he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself.

Ten days on vegetables and water. They look healthier and better fed than every one of the lads on the king’s food. So vegetables it is.
DANIEL 1:14–16 · BSB
So he consented to this and tested them for ten days. And at the end of ten days, they looked healthier and better nourished than all the young men who were eating the king’s food. So the steward continued to withhold their choice food and the wine they were to drink, and he gave them vegetables instead.
Interviewed the young men who’ve finished their training. Nobody comes close to the four from Judah. Whatever I ask them, they’re ten times better than every magician and enchanter in my kingdom.
DANIEL 1:18–20 · BSB
Now at the end of the time specified by the king, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar. And the king spoke with them, and among all the young men he found no one equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they entered the king’s service. In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king consulted them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his entire kingdom.

If I speak in the languages of people and of angels but don’t have love, I’m just a noisy gong. A clanging cymbal. If I have faith that can move mountains but don’t have love, I’m nothing.

Love is patient. Love is kind. It doesn’t envy. It doesn’t boast. It isn’t proud. It isn’t rude. It doesn’t insist on its own way. It isn’t easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. It takes no pleasure in evil, but is glad about the truth. It puts up with everything, believes the best, keeps hoping, keeps going.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.

Got a letter from Sennacherib. Took it up to the house of the LORD and spread it out in front of him. LORD, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim: you alone are God of every kingdom on earth. Their gods were only wood and stone, made by human hands. Save us, so every kingdom knows that you alone are the LORD.
2 KINGS 19:14–19 · BSB
So Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers, read it, and went up to the house of the LORD and spread it out before the LORD. And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD: “O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth. Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and see. Listen to the words that Sennacherib has sent to defy the living God. Truly, O LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste these nations and their lands. They have cast their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods, but only wood and stone—the work of human hands. And now, O LORD our God, please save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, O LORD, are God.”
To Hezekiah. The LORD has heard your prayer about Sennacherib. Jerusalem shakes her head and laughs at you, Assyria. I’ll put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and send you home the way you came. He won’t enter this city or shoot one arrow here. I’ll defend this city, for my sake and for David’s.

Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I have heard your prayer concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria. This is the word that the LORD has spoken against him: ‘The Virgin Daughter of Zion despises you and mocks you; the Daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head behind you. Because your rage and arrogance against Me have reached My ears, I will put My hook in your nose and My bit in your mouth; I will send you back the way you came.’ So this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria: ‘He will not enter this city or shoot an arrow into it. He will not come before it with a shield or build up a siege ramp against it. He will go back the way he came, and he will not enter this city, declares the LORD. I will defend this city and save it for My own sake and for the sake of My servant David.’”
Morning, and the Assyrian camp outside is full of dead men. 185,000. Everyone’s saying the angel of the LORD went through it in the night. Sennacherib has packed up and gone home to Nineveh.

And that very night the angel of the LORD went out and struck down 185,000 men in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning, there were all the dead bodies! So Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there.
The LORD is going to create new heavens and a new earth. Nobody will even remember the old ones. No more crying heard in Jerusalem. No more babies who only live a few days. People will build houses and live in them, plant vineyards and eat the grapes themselves. Before they call, he’ll answer.
ISAIAH 65:17–24 · BSB
For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; for I will create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight. I will rejoice in Jerusalem and take delight in My people. The sounds of weeping and crying will no longer be heard in her. No longer will a nursing infant live but a few days, or an old man fail to live out his years. For the youth will die at a hundred years, and he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed. They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. No longer will they build houses for others to inhabit, nor plant for others to eat. For as is the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, and My chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands. They will not labor in vain or bear children doomed to disaster; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD—they and their descendants with them. Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

Welcome to Susa, capital of Persia. The king is Xerxes, and he rules 127 provinces, from India to Cush at the far end of the Nile. Third year of his reign, he throws a party for every official and army leader in the empire. It lasts 180 days. The point is to show off how rich he is.

This is what happened in the days of Xerxes, who reigned over 127 provinces from India to Cush. In those days King Xerxes sat on his royal throne in the citadel of Susa. In the third year of his reign, Xerxes held a feast for all his officials and servants. The military leaders of Persia and Media were there, along with the nobles and princes of the provinces. And for a full 180 days he displayed the glorious riches of his kingdom and the magnificent splendor of his greatness.
And straight after that, a seven-day party in the palace garden for everyone in Susa, from the least important to the greatest. Things I saw: 1. White and blue linen hangings on silver rings and marble pillars. 2. Gold and silver couches on a mosaic floor. 3. Gold cups, every one a different design. 4. King's orders: no limit on the drinking.

Third year of his reign, he throws a party for every official and army leader in the empire. It lasts 180 days. The point is to show off how rich he is.ESTHER 1:5–8 · BSB
At the end of this time, in the garden court of the royal palace, the king held a seven-day feast for all the people in the citadel of Susa, from the least to the greatest. Hangings of white and blue linen were fastened with cords of fine white and purple material to silver rings on the marble pillars. Gold and silver couches were arranged on a mosaic pavement of porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl, and other costly stones. Beverages were served in an array of goblets of gold, each with a different design, and the royal wine flowed freely, according to the king’s bounty. By order of the king, no limit was placed on the drinking, and every official of his household was to serve each man whatever he desired.
Day seven. The king had had a fair bit to drink, and sent seven of us to bring Queen Vashti, wearing her crown, so the people and officials could see how beautiful she is. She was giving her own banquet for the women inside the palace at the time.

Queen Vashti also gave a banquet for the women in the royal palace of King Xerxes. On the seventh day, when the king’s heart was merry with wine, he ordered the seven eunuchs who served him—Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carkas— to bring Queen Vashti before him, wearing her royal crown, to display her beauty to the people and officials.

My view, since the king asked. The queen hasn't just wronged the king. She's wronged every official and every people in the empire. When women hear about this they'll look down on their husbands. They'll say the king sent for Queen Vashti and she didn't come. So: a royal decree, written into the laws of Persia and Media so it can never be undone. Vashti never comes before the king again, and her position goes to someone better.
ESTHER 1:16–19 · BSB
And in the presence of the king and his princes, Memucan replied, “Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king, but all the princes and the peoples in all the provinces of King Xerxes. For the conduct of the queen will become known to all women, causing them to despise their husbands and say, ‘King Xerxes ordered Queen Vashti to be brought before him, but she did not come.’ This very day the noble women of Persia and Media who have heard about the queen’s conduct will say the same thing to all the king’s officials, resulting in much contempt and wrath. So if it pleases the king, let him issue a royal decree, and let it be recorded in the laws of Persia and Media so that it cannot be repealed, that Vashti shall never again enter the presence of King Xerxes, and that her royal position shall be given to a woman better than she.
