"Do violence to no man" - Christ Jesus King of the Homeless and Kings

Tokyo Imperial Palace Plaza Park (Old Samurai Shogun Castle)

Christ Jesus King of the Homeless and Kings

Everybody knows that Christ Jesus is the king of kings.

He is the lord of, say, Mr. Bill Gates, etc.

But you must also know that Christ Jesus is the king of the homeless, too.

So, it would please Him more if you think about homeless people more.

In what Bible verse does Jesus shelter a homeless person?

Answer:
If there is a Bible verse that says that, I couldn't find it.
Even Jesus Christ himself was basically homeless, as mentioned at:
Matthew 8:20--"But Jesus said to him: "Foxes have dens and birds of heaven have roosts, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay down his head.'"
If you find a verse saying that Jesus sheltered a homeless person, I'd like to know it myself.

Answer:
Maybe your thinking of Jesus' Parable of "The Good Samaritan" ?
10:30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 10:31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 10:32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 10:33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 10:34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

Answer:
Matthew 25:34-35 "Then the King will say to those at His right, 'Come, my Father's blessed ones, receive your inheritance of the Kingdom which has been divinely intended for you ever since the creation of the world. For when I was hungry, you gave me food; when I was thirsty, you gave me drink; when I was homeless, you gave me a welcome.'"

Answer:
Just paraphrasing here, but He said "whatever you do to the least of these, you do unto me." And yes, he was homeless for the three years of His ministry as mentioned above. Also , He reminded us to be doers of the Word and not hearers only. There is a church in Maine with people living in it, now that is hearing and then doing. Visit the Related Link below ,

Christ Jesus made fishermen, tax collectors, and so on all homeless as He was.  Then this band of poor men started to march to Jerusalem where they took a humble supper in a house but slept outside.  However, after the biological death of Christ Jesus, those left did not live miserably as homeless persons.  But they seem to have been welcomed and respected by some people that believed in Christ Jesus.  Probably, ex-fishermen, ex-tax collectors, etc. must have lived in peace and grace though they once became homeless with Christ Jesus.
