My Bible class for Chinese nonbeliever College students had a hard time understanding Luke 4:
28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. 30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.
Why did they get so made, so quickly?
I explained the stories about Elijah and Elisha which would be common knowledge for everyone so why get so upset by just bringing it up?
I am trying to show how the Bible is not a fairy tail partly because the people are so real and not made up.
