Explain how the Bible passages (Evidence) connect with your BIG IMPRESSION. Analyze and explain the meaning of the biblical text in Discussion 1&2. The evidence should ONLY come from the main biblical text (e.g. John 13) General Body Paragraph Pattern Assertion: Mention your key words (Thesis & Paragraph) Explanation: Describe WHAT YOU MEAN by your paragraph key words Evidence: 1) INTRODUCE your evidence 2) provide a DIRECT QUOTE of the evidence, and 3) end with a CITATION of the Bible Discussion: Explain 1) your evidence in detail, and 2) ‘Connect the Dots’ Evidence #2 Discussion #2 Connection: End the paragraph by mentioning the key words again (Thesis & Paragraph) Remember the Story of John 13: Jesus Washing the Disciples’ Feet Find the ‘key points’ behind your Big Impression by doing a CLOSE READING of the text e.g. ‘humility’ as the Big Impression Where in the text can we glimpse Jesus’ humility? Ask Yourself What kind of ‘scenes’ do we have in this story? Why does the author focus on these particular scenes? The story mentions that the meal is already in progress, but… “…he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him†(John 13:4 – 5 NIV) * Instead of lounging and relaxing during dinnertime, Jesus chooses to get up and engage in physical labour A Sentence-by-Sentence Analysis: Assertion Sentence Assertion: Include the THESIS KEY WORD (=Big Impression) and the PARAGRAPH KEY WORD (=character or event) E.g. The humility of Jesus is revealed through His washing of the disciples’ feet Humility of Jesus = THESIS KEY WORD (or Big Impression) The washing of the disciples’ feet = PARAGRAPH KEY WORD Explanation Sentence “What do you mean†by the paragraph key word? E.g. Describe what you mean by “the washing of the disciples’ feet†– More specifically, though he is their teacher, jesus carries out the duty of a servant by offering to wash his disciples’ feet Use appropriate transition phrase: “In more detail†or “More specifically†Evidence Sentence First, introduce the book/author/context by beginning the sentence: e.g. In the Gospel of John, Jesus is having a meal with his disciples. At the end of the meal, he decides that he wants to demonstrate his love for them… Quote the passage from the Bible with a proper citation: …so he “got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist†(John 13:4 NIV). Discussion Sentence Sentence #1: What did we just read? Describe the scene as mentioned in the quote and explain why the quote is significant. Use specific words from the quote as needed. Begin with a transition word/phrase, such as “With this in mind†or “Clearly†E.g. With this in mind, in “taking off his outer clothing†and “wrapping a towel around his waistâ€, Jesus prepares himself to do what a servant would have done for the guests of his master. Sentence #2: Why is this quote relevant? Connect the dots – connect the idea presented in the quote with the big impression E.g. In volunteering to do what a servant needs to do, Jesus demonstrates humility…. Second Evidence Sentence Using the same format as the first evidence sentence, introduce the second quote Make sure the quote is also related to the BIG IMPRESSION & THE PARAGRAPH KEY WORD (e.g. “Humility†and “The washing of the disciples’ feet†Continuing to describe Jesus’ actions, John further notes, “After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him†(John 13:5 NIV). Second Discussion Sentence The same rule applies: 1) Describe the quote 2) Connect the dots and explain why the quote is relevant to the big impression 1) Clearly, Jesus pouring the water and using the towel he has wrapped around his waist to dry their feet indicate that he has thoroughly prepared himself to wash his disciples’ feet. 2) The fact that he does not allow other servants to help him carry out all of the tasks associated with the washing of their feet reveals his absolute humility; even as their master, he desires to demonstrate to them that he has come to serve them. Connection Sentence Complete your paragraph by indicating your big impression and the paragraph key word Therefore, John 13 reveals Jesus’ humility through Jesus’ washing of his disciples’ feet.

This Week Complete task #8 by Thursday at the VERY LATEST Complete task #9 after Thursday’s lecture Exegesis Paper: Introduction & Thesis Lesson Objective A detailed look at the introductory paragraph Thesis statement: thinking about the BIG IMPRESSION What next? Sample Passage for Study: John 13:1 – 17 It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?†7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.†8 “No,†said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.†Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.†9 “Then, Lord,†Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!†10 Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.†11 For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean. 12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?†he asked them. 13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
