*GERMAN VERSION *Diabetes is an illness that affects millions of people worldwide. People with diabetes have low or no insulin production in their pancreas, which causes high glucose levels. When this happens, blood sugar can build up so high, which can lead to several health problems. If you think someone you know may have diabetes or if you are concerned about your own diabetes symptoms, take action today!Diabetes is an illness that is caused by a lack of insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas that allows your cells to take sugar from food and use it for energy. When there is not enough insulin, glucose builds up in the blood stream and the body begins to produce more and more insulin. The body eventually stops producing any insulin at all. This condition is called diabetes. This causes the body to lose its ability to regulate blood sugar levels, which leads to surges in blood sugar after meals.Diabetes is a disease that affects many parts of the body. It can be caused by both your internal and external factors. Your Internal If you suffer from diabetes, your body will no longer respond to insulin properly and your cells will not absorb glucose properly. This is a dangerous situation because the cells will start to starve and eventually die off.

The first five books of the New Testament contain a large proportion of all uses of the term Farisai/oj in extant literature. In the light of growing scepticism among historians of Judaism over the accuracy and legitimacy of reconstructions of the Pharisees of history, Mary Marshall sets aside the quest for the historical Pharisees and instead offers an analysis of the portrayal of the Pharisees by each evangelist. The author adopts a redaction critical approach which incorporates narrative critical observations where appropriate. Her examination of the texts demonstrates the particularity of each book and its portrayal of the Pharisees. The five books do not portray a monolithic body of evidence but each has its own style, occasion and purpose(s). All New Testament portrayals of the Pharisees occupy a good deal of common ground and yet the pictures they produce are not identical. Every one of the evangelists integrates the Pharisees into his own presentation of the gospel, emphasising those aspects of the Pharisees' portrayal which serve his own particular concerns. This study of material from the gospels and Acts yields multi-faceted portraits of the Pharisees and discloses the variety of christological, soteriological, ecclesiological and ethical concerns with which they are associated. It alerts the exegete both to the nuances within a given New Testament book and to the subtle differences between books. It demonstrates the combination of fidelity and freedom with which the evangelists regarded their inherited tradition and sources. The way the Pharisees are portrayed in each text is particular to that text and its purposes, and therefore consideration of the Pharisees' portrayal is able to enrich our understanding of the gospels and Acts more generally.
