1. Genesis 43:11-17❤ "11 Then their father Israel😊❤ said to them, " If it must be so, then do this: take some of the choice fruits of the land in your bags, carry a present down to the man, a little balm and a little honey, gum, myrrh, pistachio nuts, and almonds. 12 Take double of the money with you. Carry back with you the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. Perhaps it was an oversight. 13 Take also your brother, and arise, go again to the man. 14 May God Almighty😊❤ grant you mercy😊❤ before the man( Joseph😊❤), and may he sent back your other brother( Simeon😊❤ from Genesis 42:36b) and Benjamin😊❤. And as for me( Israel😊❤), if I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved." 15 So the men took this present, and they took double the money with them, and Benjamin. They arose and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph😊❤. 16 When Joseph😊❤ saw Benjamin😊❤ with them, he(Joseph😊❤) said to the steward of his house, " Bring the men( his brothers) into the house, and slaughter an animal( remind me of John 1:29 the Lamb( Jesus😊1st❤ of God😊❤) ) and make ready, for the men are to dine with me at noon😊❤." 17 The man did as Joseph😊❤ told him and brought the men( Joseph's brothers😊❤'s) to Joseph's house."( Genesis 43:11-17 ESV Study Bible and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus😊1st❤. In Jesus'name, i pray( Genesis 43:15-17😊❤ "Joseph😊❤ invites his brothers to dine with him at his house. " ESV Study Bible and Under the content and context of John 1:29-34( Behold😊❤, the Lamb( Jesus😊1st❤) of God😊100%❤) John 1:29 " 29 The next day he( John the Baptist😊❤) saw Jesus(😊1st❤) coming toward him( John 😊❤ the Baptist😊❤), and (John) said❤, " Behold😊❤, the Lamb( Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord or our savior in Christ) of God( God 😊100%❤ our Father in heaven) who take away the sin of the world!."( John 1:29 ESV Study Bible Amen to John 1:29😊❤ in Christ😊❤. And May God allow Jesus to heal others for good in Christ too. In Jesus'name, i pray( James 5:14-15❤; Philippians 4:6-7; Philippians 4:4:)😊 -7 :)😊❤ and Romans 8:28 :) ) ) Amen.

2. Mark 1:12-13( The temptation of Jesus😊1st❤) "12 The Spirit immediately( the word " Immediately" Do you also remember one of Mark😊❤'s o favorite words, "Immediately" again he uses Greek. euthys "immediately, at once, " 41 times"( ESV Study Bible) in Christ?) drove him( Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior in Christ) out into the wilderness, 13 And he(Jesus😊1st❤) was in the wilderness forty(40) days, being tempted by satan( no good). And he was with the animals, and the angels( 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ 😊❤'s) were ministering😊❤ to him( Jesus😊1st❤ our savior in Christ😊❤)."( Mark 1:12-13 ESV Study Bible) In Mark 1:12-13, " At the commencement of Jesus'(😊1st❤'s) public ministry, God(😊100%❤) the Spirit( Mark 1:12a) paradoxicaldrive him( Jesus) "into the wilderness"( from Mark 1:12b ESV Study Bible) to be "...tempted by Satan( no good)."( from Mark 1:13 middle of the verse)( please see Matthew 4:1). Jesus'(😊1st❤'s) battle against the power of darkness( no good) has begun. " Being tempted" indicates (shows) that the temptation happened over 40- day period and were not confirmed to the three temptations mentionwd by Matthew( from Matthew 4:1-11( The temptationof Jesus) and Luke( from Luke 4:1-13( The temptation of Jesus)"( ESV Study Bible) Before i continue i hope you also one thing is confirmed is Matthew 4:4😊❤, Matthew 4:7😊❤, Matthew 4:10😊❤, Luke 4:4😊❤, Luke 4:8😊❤, and Luke 4:12😊❤ that Jesus(😊1st❤) wins later on in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤). In Jesus'name, i pray( now continue finishing the rest of the sharing in Christ and for Christ too in Christ😊1st❤). Amen. Jesus was "surrounded by evil and in danger from "...wild animals..."( from Mark 1:13b ESV Study Bible), Jesus(😊1st❤) is nevertheless not😊❤ abandoned( " not abandoned"😊❤), ( you might ask why? Or How come?) for( because) he(Jesus😊1st❤) has the presence(😊❤) of the Holy Spirit( our helper 😊❤ in Christ), and "... the angels(😊❤'s ) were ministering😊❤ to him( Jesus😊1st❤, our Lord and our savior in Christ) from Mark 1:13b ) and (please check out) Matthew 4:11 )." (ESV Study Bible) Matthew 4:11 "11 Then the devil( no good) left him( Jesus😊1st❤ = good😊❤), and behold😊❤, angels( 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ 😊❤😊❤😊❤'s) came😊❤ and ministering❤😊 to him( "him" equal Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord( Jesus😊1st❤) and our savior( Jesus😊1st❤) in Christ)."( Matthew 4:11 ESV Study Bible and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus😊1st❤ our savior in Christ too in Christ😊❤. Have you ever been also tested or tempted like Jesus(😊1st❤) our Lord and our savior in Christ. Jesus wins because he quoted Scriptures from the Bible or Old Testament Scriptures too ( Matthew 4:4, 7, 10, and Luke 4:4, 8, 12) since Jesus knew( or knows) his Bible Scriptures by Good Holy Spirit in Christ ( Matthew 4:4 😊❤; Matthew 4:7😊❤; Matthew 4:10😊❤; Luke 4:4😊❤; Luke 4:8😊❤ ; Luke 4:12😊❤ ) so Jesus wins or defeated satan by the Holy Spirit ( our helper in Christ😊❤) so we also should quoted Scriptures 😊❤ from The Bible😊❤ in Christ😊❤ too. Ephesians 6:10-20(The whole armor😊❤ of God😊100%❤) or Ephesians 6:10-20( God's whole armor😊❤) in Christ😊❤. In Jesus'name, i pray( I did my part in Christ and rest is up to God of the Bible or Jesus my Lord and my savior too. Romans 9:14-15 and Genesis 12:1-3; Matthew 28:19-20 and Romans 8:28). Amen.

5. Genesis 43:26-34 "26 When Joseph 😊❤ came home, they brought into the house to him the present that they had with them and bowed down to him to the ground. 27 And he inquired about their welfare and said, " Is your father( Israel😊❤) well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive? " 28 They said, " Your servant our father is well😊❤; he is still alive." And they bowed their heads and prostrated themselves. 29 And he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin😊❤, his mother's son, and said, " Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me? God(😊100%❤) be gracious😊❤ to you😊❤, my son! " 30 Then Joseph hurried out, for his compassion😊❤ grew warm❤ for his brothers( 😊❤), and he sought a place to weep. And he( Joseph😊❤) entered his chamber and wept there."( ESV Study Bible pause in here in Christ❤. Joseph "weep" or wept in Old Testament in Genesis 43: 30 or more specific Genesis 43:30b and Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord in the New Testament also wept in John 11:35 "35 Jesus wept " ( from John 11:35 ESV Study Bible When Lazarus he loves had died under the context of John 11:28-37( Jesus weeps) from ESV Study Bible) Now resume back Genesis 43:31-34 " 31 Then he( Joseph) washed his face and came out. And controlling himself he said, " Serve the food." 32 They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians could not eat with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians. 23 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth. And the men looked at one another in amazement. 34 Portions were taken to them from Joseph's table, but Benjamin😊❤'s portion❤ was five times as much as any of theirs. And they drank and were merry with him."( Genesis 43:26-34 ESV Study Bible that is that in Christ.) I remember that my savior,Jesus(😊1st❤) in the New Testament also eat with others who were consider outcast or sinners too in Matthew 9:9-13( Jesus calls Matthew) "9 As Jesus(😊1st❤) passed on from there, he( Jesus😊1st❤) saw a man called Matthew😊❤ sitting at the tax booth, and he ( Jesus😊1st❤) said 😊❤ to him( Matthew 😊❤), " Follow me." And he( Matthew 😊❤) rose and followed him( Jesus😊1st❤). 10 And as Jesus (😊1st❤) reclined at the table in the house, behold, mamy tax collectors( another category of sinners at Jesus' time) and sinners came and were reclining( or dinning) with Jesus😊1st❤ and his disciples( include Matthew😊❤). 11 And when the Pharisees saw this they said to his( Jesus' disciples), " Why does your teacher(Jesus😊1st❤ another name for Jesus was a teacher too ) eat with tax collecters and sinners? " 12 But😊❤ when he( Jesus😊1st❤) heard it, he( Jesus😊1st❤ our savior in Christ ) said, " Those who are well😊❤ have no need of a physician( or doctor), but those who is sick❤. 13 Go and learn what this means, 'I desire😊❤ mercy😊❤, not sacrifice.' ( quoted from Hosea 6:6 "6 For I desire steadfast love( steadfast love😊❤= mercy😊❤) and not sacrifice, the knowledge😊❤ of God(😊100%❤) rather than burnt offering. "( Hosea 6:6 ESV Study Bible) so the phase " I desire mercy, and not sacrifices"( from Matthew 9:13 middle of the verse which is quotation from Hosea 6:6😊❤) the word, " Sacrifice"( from both Matthew 9:13 and Hosea 6:6) summarize observance of religious rituals. More important to God was " mercy"( from Matthew 9:13 middle of the verse and Hosea 6:6 called it "steadfast love😊❤" or mercy😊❤. So More important to God( God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven) was " mercy"😊❤ ( the Sepuagint rendering of Hb( Hebrew) "heses," meaning steadfast love 😊❤ like mentioned above in Hosea 6:6 " Hosea 6:6 "6 For I desire steadfast love( steadfast love😊❤= mercy😊❤) and not sacrifice, the knowledge😊❤ of God(😊100%❤) rather than burnt offering. "( Hosea 6:6 ESV Study Bible), which would have led the Pharisees to care 😊❤ for these sinners❤ ( whether taxcollectors❤ or sinners❤) ( you might ask like who? ) as( like ) Jesus(😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior in Christ) did."( ESV Study Bible and phraphased alao in Christ😊❤ too in Christ😊❤.) I think in Christ Jesus😊1st❤ our savior in Christ and God too prefer mercy😊❤ over sacrifices and Romans 8:28😊❤.

Genesis 44:6-17 "6 When he overtook them, he spoke to them to these words. 7 They said to him, " Why does my lord speak such a words as these? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing! 8 Behold, the money that we found in the mouth of our sakes we brought back to you from the land of Canaan. How then could we steal silver or gold from my lord's house? 9 whichever of your servants is found with it shall die, and we also will be my lord's servants." 10 He( Joseph) said, " Let it be as you say: he who is found with it( the silver cup from Genesis 44:2a "...the silver cup, ...") shall be my servant, and rest of you shall be innocent." 11 Then each man quickly lowered his sack to the ground, and each man opened his sack. 12 And he searched, beginning with eldest and ending with the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack. 13 Then they tore their clothes, and every man loaded his donkey, and they returned to the city. 14 When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, he was still there. They fell before him to the ground. 15 Joseph(😊❤ ) said to them, " What deed is this that you have done? Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"( ESV Study Bible. Pause in Christ at Genesis 44:15b "...Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"" ( Genesis 44:15b ESV Study Bible let explain this also with Genesis 44:3-5 or Genesis 44:5 later) from Genesis 44:15b "...Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?" "( Genesis 44:15b ESV Study Bible Joseph😊❤ said these.) It means " Building on what his steward had said( Genesis 44:5 ) earlier regarding the silver cup( Genesis 44:5), Joseph portray himself as having the ability to discover secrets hidden from others. This may also be a ploy on Jeseph's part in order to elicit information from the brothers. Now that he has created the impresion that he can discover knowledge with divine help, his brothers may feel that they can no longer concel their past actions. For this reason, Judah remarks, God has found out the guilt of your servants( from Geneis 44:16 " 16 And Judah said, " What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak? or how can we clear ourselves? God(😊100%❤) has found out the guilt of your servants; behold, we are my lord's servants, both we and he also in whose hand the cup has been found." ( from Genesis 44:16 ESV Study Bible). My ESV Study said and i quote here in Christ " In all probability Judah has in minde the brothers' treatment of Joseph😊❤ , for he( Judah😊❤ ) knows that they are innocent😊❤ of taking the silver cup( no stealing😊❤). The brothers are convinced that God( God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven) is now holding them to account for their( past) actions against Joseph😊❤. On behalf of all(😊❤'s) the brothers(😊❤'s), Judah😊❤ speaks to Joseph😊❤."( ESV Study Bible) Last time i went skimmed over Genesis 44:5 on what Joseph's steward said to his brothers like Joseph told indirectly from Genesis 44:4, 4 b him to said to his brothers (them) in Genesis 44:5 "5 Is it not from this ( silver cup) that my lord drinks, and by this he practice divination? You have done evil in doing this.' " " ( Genesis 44:5 ESV Study Bible, before i share farther i am not God or Jesus. But just a faithful servant of God (😊100%❤) and follower of Jesus (😊1st❤ ) too in Christ) From Genesis 44:5b "...my lord drinks, and by this he practice divination? ..."(Genesis 44:5b ) " Since these remark are set the context of a n elaborate ruse, it is impossible to know whether they should be taken as reflecting something that Joseph actually did. Joseph(😊❤ ) clearly intends that his brothers(😊❤'s) should believe( trust by faith in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤ ) or trust God😊100%❤ )) that he has powers of supernatural discernent( "discernment is something revealed by God😊100%❤ to us in Christ )( Now we see Genesis 44:15 "15 Joseph(😊❤ ) said to them(😊❤'s), " What deed is this that you have done? Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"( ESV Study Bible, this doesn't mean Joseph actually do bad divination but God reveals things to him no others understand to me by His words😊❤ from the Bible God😊100%❤ can speak in Christ too in Christ so to Joseph's divination is different from Laban's divination . God bless Laban because of Jacob( or Israel😊❤ ) to me in Christ. For future comments on divination, (we will) see from Genesis 30:27-30 on "learned by divination" My ESV Study Bible said and I quote in quotes, " The narrator does not specify the precise methold by which Laban( Jacob's uncle or Israel's uncle= Laban) discovers that the Lord😊❤ has blessed him because of Jacob. The Israelites were later prohabited😊❤ by God(😊100%❤ our Father in heaven ) from practicing dinvination(from Deuteronomy 18:10😊❤ ) because it sought to provide knowledge by inappropriate methods ( e.g.( for example), interpreting omen,using supernatural powers)."( ESV Study Bible) "Laban 's use of divination is sinful, even though the information obtained is accurate. " ...the LORD bless me because of you( Jacob or Israel😊❤ ) from Genesis 30:27b Laban said " ...the LORD bless me because of you( Jacob or Israel😊❤ ) from Genesis 30:27b ESV Study Bible) "In Genesis, all the members of the special line descended from Abraham(😊❤ ) are portrayed as mediating God's blessing😊❤ to others( Introduction: history of salvation Summary). " Name your wages "( Laban said to Jacob in Genesis 30:28a " Name your wage, and I will give it."( from Genesis 30:28 ESV Study Bible ) so when Laban said in Genesis 30:28a "28Name your wage,.. "( Genesis 30:28a ESV Study Bible) " For 14 years( 7 years for Leah and 7 years for Rachel), Jacob( or Israel😊❤) has served Laban in order to pay the bride price for Leah and Rachel( born Joseph and Benjamin). Having fulfilled this obligation, which has financially benefited Laban well beyond what he might have expected. Jacob(or Israel😊❤) now wants to provides for his own household. Laban, conscious of how Jacob😊❤ has enriched him and eager to retain his services, ask Jacob to name his wages for remaining with him."( ESV Study Bible) Back to Genesis 44:17 "17 But he (Joseph) said, " Far be it from me that i should do so! Only the man in whose hand the cup was found shall be my servant. But as for you, go up in peace to your father( Jacob or Israel😊❤ )."( above Genesis 44:17 and above all in all meant Genesis 44:6-17 ESV Study Bible along with parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ along with notes in Christ and for Christ too from ESV Study Bible and paraphased too in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray( Matthew 28:19-20😊❤ and follow Him( Jesus😊1st❤ John 14:6😊❤ And in Christ one wife in Christ or at least one wife at a time in Christ and Hebrews 9:11-28❤and Matthew 28:19-20😊❤ in Christ). Amen.

Genesis 44:6-17 "6 When he overtook them, he spoke to them to these words. 7 They said to him, " Why does my lord speak such a words as these? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing! 8 Behold, the money that we found in the mouth of our sakes we brought back to you from the land of Canaan.
