Gospel of Mark

Love for neighbor based on Psalm 37

Reading Psalm 37 in the Old Testament, we will come across texts that talk about how we should deal with an evil neighbor.

John 19.18 "Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst."

Matthew 27.38,44 "Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.", "The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his
