16. Huh?

Buying weapons?
Luke 23:26 - As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus.

Discrimination?
Matthew 15:24-27
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

Zombies?
Matthew 27:52-53
Since Matthew wrote about the time immediately after Jesus died on the cross, you can't really claim it as a teaching of Jesus.

Mark 4:11-12
Jesus was quoting Isiah from the Old Testament. The very next verse is:
13 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable?
14 The farmer sows the word.
15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

Which, to me, is the equivalent of "There are none so blind as they who will not see."

So, I'm not sure what your verses mean to you, but I don't get it.
