Jesus to Nazareth

Luke 4:16 - "as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day"

He's given the scrolls to read from, Isaiah 61:1-2

It's about the Messiah preaching the gospel to the captives (the "anointed one")

Stops at "the acceptable year of the Lord" - describes his first coming. "The day of vengeance of our God" is his second coming.

Sits down, says "this is talking about me."

Nobody likes that. "Isn't this Joseph's son?"

"No prophet is accepted in his home country. You're just rejecting me."

The people really don't like that, try to throw him off a cliff.

Jesus "goes his own way."

Lucan Interpolation

Luke follows Mark's structure, but also inserts parts in between.

Perean Ministry (parts in Luke that aren't in Mark)

Mary & Martha

Martha is the one receiving Jesus into her house.

Jesus never said that Martha was doing a bad thing. The only reason that he said something was because Martha came up to him and complained to him. He never told her to "come sit down and listen," nor did he tell Mary to go help her sister. Both were good things. It's just about priorities.

Seventy

Shake the dust off of your feet if they don't accept you.

Help with administrative aspects of the church. They help out the apostles.

While they're out, Jesus condemns Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum (Jesus' ministry triangle). He served mostly there, but he was rejected by them.

Allegorization of the Parable of the Good Samaritan

Jesus taught a parable, it had one message. Then, other kinds of ideas were drawn from it by early Christians.

"Who is my neighbor?" I don't want responsibility for everyone.

Jesus begins the parable.

A man on the side of the road.

A priest passes. A Levite passes. Both are on their way to the temple and can't risk being unclean.

A Samaritan passes. He stops and helps the man. He takes him to an inn and leaves him there with the promise to come back.
