Jesus Correcting Anyone in the Bible Search

Rob Surgenor · 2024-12-14T14:58:23+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I would like to find every time in the Bible when Jesus spoke a word of correction to someone who was doing something wrong in His eyes.

I would also like to filter out when he spoke these words to the Pharisees as He seemed to do that a lot…

My focus is that todays church seems a little too comfortable saying that "Jesus hung out with sinners" so… "it's not a big deal if I go to the club and hang with the sinners! I'm not going to drink… "

I would simply like to point out each example where Jesus DID hang around the sinners, but how many times he ended up "correcting" them.

I've been trying to figure this out all morning and thought someone could help me figure this out.

Thanks…

I tried a few ways to do the search but wasn't able to figure it out. There are people on here who are way more knowledgeable than I am about such things.

However, in your case, I would look at passages such as Mark 2:13-17, which ends with “And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”” (Mark 2:17, ESV)

Also, Matthew 9:9-13 and Luke 5:27-32.

I like to start with the Bible Browser in tools. Here is a screenshot of Jesus as speaker and Commands as command. You can create a passage list from these types of "searches".

You can see there are additional types of commands in the left sidebar.

speaker:Jesus louwNida:33.406–33.458

Louw and Nida has a whole section on Rebuke. He also has sections on warning and criticism. You can search for the whole range of terms. Mark 8:33; Revelation 3:19. Of course Jesus also turned over the moneychangers tables.

2 Timothy 3:16–17
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

T’ Rebuke (33.417–33.422)

33.417 ἐλέγχω; ἔλεγξις, εως f; ἐλεγμός, οῦ m: to state that someone has done wrong, with the implication that there is adequate proof of such wrongdoing—‘to rebuke, to reproach, rebuke, reproach.’
ἐλέγχω: ὁ δὲ Ηρῴδης ὁ τετραάρχης, ἐλεγχόμενος υ’π̓ αυ’τοῦ περὶ Ηρῳδιάδος ‘Herod the tetrarch was rebuked by him because of Herodias’ Lk 3:19; μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ ἐλέγχετε ‘but rather rebuke them’ Eph 5:11.72
ἔλεγξις: ὃς μισθὸν ἀδικίας ἠγάπησεν ἔλεγξιν δὲ ἔσχεν ἰδίας παρανομίας ‘who loved the money he would get for doing wrong and was reproached for his transgression’ 2 Pe 2:15–16.
ἐλεγμός: πᾶσα γραφὴ θεόπνευστος καὶ ὠφέλιμος πρὸς διδασκαλίαν, πρὸς ἐλεγμόν ‘all Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for rebuking’ 2 Tm 3:16.

33.418 νουθετέωb: to admonish someone for having done something wrong—‘to admonish, to rebuke.’ παρακαλοῦμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, νουθετεῖτε τοὺς ἀτάκτους ‘we urge you, fellow believers, to admonish the idle’ 1 Th 5:14. νουθετέω in 1 Th 5:14 may also be understood in the sense of ‘to warn’ (see 33.424).

33.419 ἐπιτιμάωa: to express strong disapproval of someone—‘to rebuke, to denounce.’ προσλαβόμενος αὐτὸν ὁ Πέτρος ἤρξατο ἐπιτιμᾶν αὐτῷ ‘Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him’ Mt 16:22.

33.420 ἐπιπλήσσω: (a figurative extension of meaning of ἐπιπλήσσω ‘to strike,’ not occurring in the NT) to express strong disapproval as a type of punishment—‘to rebuke, to reproach, to denounce.’ πρεσβυτέρῳ μὴ ἐπιπλήθῃς, ἀλλὰ παρακάλει ὡς πατέρα ‘do not denounce an older man, but appeal to him as if he were your father’ 1 Tm 5:1.

33.421 ἐμβριμάομαιb: to exhibit irritation or even anger in expressing a harsh reproof—‘to denounce harshly, to scold.’ καὶ ἐνεβριμῶντο αὐτῇ ‘and they denounced her harshly’ Mk 14:5.

33.422 ὀνειδίζωb: to reproach someone, with the implication of that individual being evidently to blame—‘to reprimand, to reproach.’ τότε ἤρξατο ὀνειδίζειν τὰς πόλεις ‘then he began to reprimand the towns’ Mt 11:20.

f feminine

m masculine

72 If the direct object of the verb ἐλέγχω in Eph 5:11 is understood as ‘those who have done the fruitless deeds of darkness,’ then the meaning is ‘rebuke.’ However, it is also possible to construe the direct object as being the ‘fruitless deeds of darkness,’ in which case the meaning of ἐλέγχω would presumably be ‘to expose by words.’

Also, other places such as Romans 6:1-2, “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?” (Romans 6:1–2, ESV)

and

“Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.” (Romans 6:12–14, ESV)

Also

“This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (1 John 1:5–10, ESV)

I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to answer me and help me out with this topic. I love to learn and learned a lot by your responses.

I just love Logos and the power of this program. It's just so powerful, and believe that if i knew better how to use it the possibilities would be endless, but feel there is so much to learn.

Thanks everyone
