Who is the most famous Homeless person in the world?


JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. is and always will be the most famous homeless person to Rome this earth.

There are no direct references to Jesus being homeless in the Bible. However, there are some passages that can be interpreted as suggesting that Jesus and his disciples did not have a permanent home and relied on the hospitality of others.

For example, in Luke 9:58, Jesus says to a follower, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." This passage suggests that Jesus did not have a permanent home.

Another passage that is sometimes cited as evidence that Jesus was homeless is Matthew 8:20, where Jesus says to a scribe who wants to follow him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." This passage is similar to the one in Luke, but it adds the detail that Jesus compared himself to foxes and birds, which do not have permanent homes.

These passages have been interpreted by some Christians as meaning that Jesus was homeless. However, others argue that Jesus and his disciples simply lived a simple lifestyle and did not need or want a permanent home. They point out that Jesus was often welcomed into the homes of others, such as Martha and Mary (Luke 10:38-42) and Zacchaeus (Luke 19:5-6).

Ultimately, whether or not Jesus was homeless is a matter of interpretation. There is no clear consensus on this issue among Christians.

God expects His people to help those who are homeless. The Law directly addressed care for those in need. In Leviticus 25:35 God commands His people to help support those who have no home and cannot support themselves: “If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and are unable to support themselves among you, help them as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you” (see also Deuteronomy 15:7–11). The Lord rebuked those who kept the outward form of religion yet did not care for the poor: “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:

to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?”.

The book of wisdom, Proverbs, lays down the principle of giving to the poor and attaches it to a blessing: “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done” (Proverbs 19:17)
