Pulpit Committee

There was a pulpit committee looking for a pastor. They had called in view of a call and had listened to him preach. Afterward they took him out to eat and ask him some questions.

The first question was "Do you know the Bible?" He said, "Yes, I know both the old and the new testaments."

They asked him if he had a particular story in the Bible that he knew best? He said yes, the story of the "Good Samaritan". They said "Good, just tell us this story in your own words."

The following is the story he told:

"The Good Samaritan"

 

 

There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, the ruler of the Jews, the same went down to Jericho by night and fell among the thorns and they choked him half to death, and he said, "what shall I do?" He said I will arise and go to my father. He arose and climed up into a sycamore tree. He got his hair hung up in a limb of the sycamore tree and he hung there forty days and forty nights, and the ravens came and pecked him. Delilah came along with her shears and snipped off his hair and some of it fell on stony ground. Solomon and his wife Gomorrah came by and dipped him seven times in the river Jordon and his hair grew out as long as it was in the beginning and he picked up the jawbone of a donkey and slew 185,000 Ethiopian eunuchs. He went on down to Jericho and Jezebel was sitting on the wall and he said "Chunk her down boys", and they chunked her down. And he said, "Chunk her down again." And they said, "how many times should we chunk her down? Till seven times? And he said "Nay, but seventy times seven." So they chunked her down again and she burst asunder into midst and they picked up twelve baskets full of fragments that remained and who's wife should she be in the resurrection?

 

The Chairman took his committee over to one side and said "he's not much to look at, but he sure knows the Bible."
