What Did Jesus Do? 2

Matthew 5-8

For each passage we'll note who Jesus encountered, whether he initiated the contact, what type of interaction he had with them, whether He took direct action to meet human needs (see Matthew 25:35-36 for examples), whether His "do-ing" was miraculous, and any commands He gave.

Did Jesus limit his interactions to only certain classes or groups or types of people?

Were they all like Him?

Did He interact only with those who were friendly toward Him?

Did make a point of seeking out people who needed Him, or just wait for them to find Him?

Did He deliberately confront people who would rather have avoided Him?
