From His Lips

'Let him without sin cast the first stone.'
'Man shall not live by bread alone.'
'For the measure you give shall be the measure you get.'
You may have heard these phrases before. Maybe even quoted (or perhaps mis-quoted) a saying or two yourself. And if you thought about it at all, wondered if it was Shakespeare? Maybe Plato, or Socrates perhaps? No, they are from a Middle Eastern man, unknown even in His own country, from a poor family, who learnt carpentry from His father.

Suddenly at thirty he took a mid-life career change and became an itinerent prophet and teacher. He had no earthly influence - the religous establishment found him a puzzle and a threat to their power. Despite all this; the three and a half years of His public life had such an impact that for two thousand years after his death, history was broken into two: BC, before he came along, and AD, after his birth.
Just what did He actually say?...

Jesus' philosophical sayings are right here, see for yourself.
