luke 22 verse 36, but now one who has a money bag should take it, and likewise a sack, and one who does not have a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.
prov 18 verse 6, the fools lips lead him into strife and his mouth provokes a beating.

OK, this isn't really my all-time favorite but: "No, but you did laugh" (Gen 18:15).

I always crack up when I read this...

God: Why did Sarah laugh?
Sarah: Oh, I didn't laugh!
God: Yeahhhh..... but you did.

Probably only funny to me.

What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray. (Matthew 18:12-13)

No. It's the humanity, isn't it? The Bible is full of such humour, yet it seems easy to miss. Many think of it as dry as dust.
