U8.3.1 - Describe one example from the gospels of Jesus’ encounters with those on the margins (sinners; the ritually unclean; gentiles; women; the neglected; and the sick), explaining the literal sense of one of the scripture passages studied, including a recognition of the role of author, literary form, context, and audience
U8.3.4 - Describe what is meant by the moral sense of scripture, explaining how through the care he shows for the lost, the sick and the outcast, Jesus also reveals something about who he is and God’s special care for marginalised people, making links with the Catholic belief that the kingdom belongs especially to the poor and the lowly.
