Did Jesus go to church?

According to the New Testament Bible, Jesus went to the Temple, which was the “church” of that time and in that culture. He taught in the Temple at times. But He also taught wherever He went and formed a church through His following.

If we take the definition of a church to mean the gathering of God’s people, the He had church wherever He went.

Did Jesus cook?

Yes, Jesus did cook. In the New Testament Gospel of John chapter 21, Jesus cooked breakfast for His disciples after they’d had a hard night fishing. He provided the fish and cooked it.

Jesus was there in His resurrected state – He was risen from the dead. In this incident, there is no precise detail as to where Jesus got the fish. He may have caught it or He may have spoken it into existence.

Did Jesus hunt or fish?

Jesus fished with His disciples on the sea of Galilee. We don’t know if He hunted. There is no specific record of that in the New Testament.

In the New Testament Gospel of John chapter 21, Jesus cooked breakfast for His disciples after they’d had a hard night fishing. Jesus was there in His resurrected state – He was risen from the dead. In this incident, there is no precise detail as to where Jesus got the fish. He may have caught it or He may have spoken it into existence.

Was Jesus an obedient citizen?

According the biography of Jesus as seen in the New Testament Gospels, He

obeyed the laws of the country. He believed in submitting to the authorities and would thus have been an obedient citizen. 

However, Jesus was first and foremost a citizen of Heaven. He would have always obeyed His heavenly Father above all. He would never have honored something that went against the higher commandments of His heavenly Father.

When a question about taxes was asked to Jesus, He miraculously plucked a coin out of a fish’s mouth and suggested that one should pay taxes. This was His famous statement on that subject: “Give to Ceasar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s”.

Did Jesus walk on water?

Yes, Jesus did walk on water.

See the account of Jesus walking on the water in the New Testament Gospel of John:

When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them. The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing. When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid. But he said to them, "I AM. Don't be afraid." They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn't entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone. However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks. When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn't there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. (John 6:16-24)

Jesus also commanded Peter to walk on water which he was able to do as long as he looked at Jesus. When he took his eyes off of Jesus, he began to sink.

Who guarded Jesus tomb?

A group of Roman guards were assigned by Pilate to watch the tomb where Jesus had been laid. They watched it diligently, taking turns to sleep so that there were always several guards or soldiers watching the tomb at any time. (They were extra diligent in this matter for fear someone would steal Jesus’s body—particularly since He had prophesied that He would rise from the dead).

Who buried Jesus?

Joseph, a council member from Arimathea, and the converted Pharisee, Nicodemus, buried the body of Jesus. They asked permission of Pilate who had the power to grant them their desire to bury Jesus. This is seen in the New Testament Gospel of Luke (Luke 23:50 – 52). But the enormous stone that covered the tomb and sealed it off was placed there by Roman guards.

Where was Jesus buried?

Jesus was buried in a tomb hewn (carved) out of a rock outside of Jerusalem. This tomb belonged to Joseph of Arimathea (a Jewish city where Joseph was a council member). According to the New Testament Gospel of Luke, chapter 23, verse 53, no one had ever used this tomb before. Joseph of Arimathea gave this tomb specifically for the burial of Jesus.
