Question
Hello,

I'm trying to work on a Bible Study on how to Get Jesus Christ's attention.  I'm studying through the gospels mostly through how a dialogue would get started with Jesus.  I like reading where people went the extra mile to see Jesus.

Some Examples describing what I'm looking for:

in Mark 2:4 how they uncovered the roof to get to Jesus and Jesus saw their faith and healed the guy with palsy.

Matthew 20:30 how the blind men heard Jesus passing by and they called to Jesus even when other people wanted them to be quiet.

Thank you for your help!  I'm just having trouble putting everything together.

God Bless,

Daniel

Answer
A few passages that might help:
Mt 8:1 and 5; 9:18; 15:21
Mk 1:40; 5:14 and 21
Lk 2:25; 5:12; 7:37; 8:26 and 43; 19:1
Jn 3:1; 4:1; 11:21.
These are the first verses; you can read the whole passage and see what you think.
Best wishes, Daniel.  Thanks for writing and your efforts.
If you wish more, let me know.
