Start with a brief introductory paragraph that identifies the specific verses you chose to focus on and why you chose those verses. b. Study the passage closely and see how it fits into that chapter of scripture. Write approximately 200 words that explain the meaning that your selected verses had for the original author and audience. You should describe the contents of the passage and any points that clarify what it would have meant in its original setting. In the course of your explanation, you must make at least one citation from Jesus is Lord or from an outside resource such as a reputable commentary, which can be found at the Bible Study Tools link (see #3 above). c.
