Jesus's Words

Jesus in the Desert

back  |  next

Matthew records Jesus's warning about false prophets. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.Matthew 24:26 Yet, Paul (through his protégé Luke) claims he met Jesus near Damascus, a desert. And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven.Acts 9:3

Who do we believe? Jesus or Paul? The choice is simple; we believe the man that God will judge on us.Deuteronomy 18:19


Value of this Evidence

This is decent evidence against Paul. Paul said that he met Jesus in the desert. Jesus said that if anyone found him in the desert, believe it not. There is little leeway here for Paul.
