I remember some story, I think from the bible. A man is told to sit outside the gates of the city and to express gratitude to and even give money to anyone who insults him. Anyone know what it is?

Re: Does anyone know what parable this is?
If it is a parable, it's not a biblical one. Jesus had no such parable. But it sounds like something God could have asked one of the prophets to do.Originally posted by Blake

Do you remember a similar story? I read it when I must have been quite a little kid. Details are utterly hazy.Originally posted by Maniac

According to Google, it's a tale from the Arabian Nights. It's supposedly somewhere in the above story (which is 28 single-space-pages long).Comment
