For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. (Matthew 13:17, ESV) And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. (Luke 22:15, ESV) I coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel. (Acts 20: ...
Barak (/ ˈ b ɛər æ k / or / ˈ b ɛər ə k /; [1] Hebrew: בָּרָק; Tiberian Hebrew: Bārāq; "lightning") was a ruler of Ancient Israel.As military commander in the biblical Book of Judges, Barak, with Deborah, from the Tribe of Ephraim, the prophet and fourth Judge of pre-monarchic Israel, defeated the Canaanite armies led by Sisera.
Barak declines to go without the prophet. Deborah consents, but declares that the glory of the victory will therefore belong to a woman. As soon as the news of the rebellion reaches Sisera, he collects nine hundred chariots of iron and a host of people. [6] Then Deborah said, according to Judges 4:14: "Go!
Jesus and the woman taken in adultery (or the Pericope Adulterae) [a] is considered by some to be a pseudepigraphical [1] passage found in John 7:53–8:11 [2] of the New Testament. In the passage, Jesus was teaching in the Temple after coming from the Mount of Olives .
Jesus clearly identified adultery with sin; however, his statement "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone" did not refer to the precepts of law but to conscience. [21] Some commentators point out that if the woman was caught in adultery, there should also have been a man standing trial. [ 22 ]
The first eleven verses in chapter 8 are usually grouped with a previous verse, John 7:53, to form a passage known as "Pericope adulterae" or "Pericope de Adultera".It is considered canonical, but not found in some ancient Greek manuscripts of the New Testament (such as P 66, P 75, Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Vaticanus) and some old translations.

The concept for the future canvas, entitled Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery, was first conceived in 1868, [11] [12] influenced by Alexander Andreyevich Ivanov's painting The Appearance of Christ Before the People. Polenov set himself the task of creating "Christ not only coming, but already in the world, making his way among the people".
Malachi 2:16 has God disapproving of divorce, but Deuteronomy 24:1–4 makes clear that it is acceptable under certain circumstances (see Christian views on divorce). A very similar pronouncement on divorce is made by Jesus at Luke 16:18 and Mark 10:11, however neither of those two make an exception for πορνεία /porneia.
