There are many compelling passages in the scriptures outlining the "works of mercy". Roman 15v30, which states,"Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake. and for the love of the spirit(within), that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me. The royal law is to love one another. That means the other within, and when this is done you do well. That will help you to live Jesus new law of the gospel. Because as most might have known that,"Love covereth all sins"(Prov10v12)

When did Jesus turn water into wine?
A:The miracle in which Jesus turned water into wine is described only in John chapter 2, occurring "on the third day", or soon after the baptism of Jesus, and Jesus told his mother that his time [for miracles] had not come. Caution should be exercised in accepting this miracle as having really happened. In the synoptic gospels, Jesus had begun his forty days in the wilderness at this time, so could not have been at a wedding in Cana.The author of John's Gospel, as the gospel name implies traditionally regarded as the apostle John, liked to ascribe to Jesus miracles similar to those attributed to the pagan gods. Just as the god Dionysus turned water into wine, so Jesus turned water into wine. Later in the same gospel, we are told of Jesus healing the lame man at the five-sided pool, now known to have been part of an Asclepium. a temple to the Greek god Asclepius. When Asclepius (John's "angel") came by and disturbed the water, the first to enter would be cured, but the lame man was never able to reach the water first. This points to these miracles as literary creations, not events that can be dated with precision.
When did Jesus first visit Mary and Martha?
Answer The Gospel according to John records Jesus visiting Martha and Mary on two occasions: the first was after the death of their brother, Lazarus (John 11:1) and the second was the week before Passover (John 12:1). Upon considering how Jesus reacted to the death of Lazarus (He wept and people remarked how much Jesus loved Lazarus) it is quite safe to assume that Jesus was well known to the family and had visited on previous occasions.
What did the Gospel writers think about Jesus?
MarkMark, the author of the very first Gospel, thought of Jesus as:Racist. In chapter 7, he called Gentiles 'dogs' and only agreed to help a Gentile woman when she humbly accepted that description. (Mark 7:27) But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.Less than divine. He had some extraordinary powers and God called him his son, but Mark did not believe him to be one with God. For example: (Mark 6:5) And he (Jesus) could there do no mighty work.(Mark 10:18) Why call me good. There is none good but God.Jesus told his followers to love their neighbours, an injunction taken from the Old Testament. In modern times, 'neighbours' is seen as having a broad scope because of Luke, but in Mark, as in the Hebrew Bible, it still had a narrow meaning.MatthewMatthew thought of Jesus as: A mortal, born of a virgin and with divine powers, but that he had not pre-existed.Whereas Mark had John baptise Jesus as a matter of course, Matthew established a clear sense of precedence by having John argue that it should be Jesus who baptised him. Matthew was also reluctant to call Jesus a village carpenter.More than any other Gospel writer, Matthew thought of Jesus as fulfilling scriptural prophecies.LukeLuke thought of Jesus as: A mortal with divine powers, but had not pre-existed. Acts 2:32-33 sums up his view, "This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we are all witnesses ... and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear."Jesus told his followers to love their enemies. This is unique to Luke.More than in any other Gospel, Luke had Jesus show compassion for the poor.JohnJohn thought Jesus was God. There are pericopes where Jesus actually claimed this to be the case. Jesus had existed from the beginning of creation.Many of the friends of Jesus were rich. Some of the best miracles that John presented involved helping his own rich friends. John did not portray Jesus as particularly interested in helping the poor.Jesus told his followers to love one another, so that others would know that they were his followers. In other words, there is no longer an admonition to love your enemies, or even your neighbours. Overt displays of affection for other Christians was to be a sign to strangers that you are a Christian.It should be recognized that any human failings are failings intrinsic to the Gospel authors, not the person Jesus, whom they were attempting to portray.
