Those Whom Jesus Touched. . .
I'm doing another Bible word study, looking for all those that Jesus touched. My search terms were for any verse containing the words: 'hand' and 'touch'. I was very surprised to find that, with that criteria, the Gospel of John contained no verses.
I arbitrarily included John 13:5 (Jesus washed the feet of the disciples) and John 13:23 (John leaned upon Jesus breast at the last supper)
I don't quite understand yet the significance of this finding (if any). . . it may have to do with the Gospel of John's focus upon the divinity of Jesus and maybe it was the humanity of Jesus with which He touched men's bodies physically. . . and by the divine nature of Jesus, He touched men's spiritual side. . .thereby touching their eternal souls. . . something to pray about and to ask the Lord for more clarity on. . .
