The Gospel According to Luke A COMMENTARY ON The Gospel According to Luke BY H. LEO BOLES CHURCH OF CHRIST 122 3 E. DANA AVE. MESA, ARIZONA GOSPEL ADVOCATE COMPANY NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE 1974 COPYRIGHT BY GOSPEL ADVOCATE COMPANY NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE 1940 PREFACE Some time ago a plan was formed by interested brethren to give to the public a complete commentary on the New Tes- tament; the author was assigned the task of writing in sepa- rate volumes commentaries on Matthew and Luke. The vol- ume on Matthew was given to the public in 1936, and the favor- able reception that it has received has been a source of inspi- ration to the author in preparing the volume on Luke. More than two years of preparation have been given to the present volume; time was taken to examine and study closely and fully, in the light of many commentators, every word and sen- tence in the book of Luke. The bibliography shows the wide range of commentators and scholars that have been studied. Only one brief commentary on Luke has been written by anyone of the Restoration Movement. J. S. Lamar, in 1877, published his "Commentary on Luke." It is now sixty-one years old; it is a small volume, but has many merits. There is a need for a new commentary on Luke it is hoped that this may fill that need and be a large contribution to the literature of Biblical knowledge. The author has studiously and scrupulously refrained from consulting his "Commentary on Matthew" on the parallel pas- sages found in Luke. He wished this volume to be an origi- nal and independent treatment of those parallel passages; he wished to be free from any bias in thought or language from any of his former comments, and to give a full and fresh study to these parallel passages. He has kept in mind the common people, and has prepared this volume on Luke with the view of helping the average Bible reader to come to a fuller knowl- edge of divine thought as expressed by the Holy Spirit through Luke. Greek words, when used, have been given an English spelling so that the average person can understand them. Technicality has been avoided. The language and style used are those of the classroom in- structor, and are free from ornate expressions and embellish- ments that adorn expression of thought. The author has had 4 PREFACE more than twenty-five years' experience as a teacher of the Bible in college, more than thirty years' experience as a preacher of the gospel and writer for the religious press; he has written Sunday school lessons for adults for ten years; hence out of this long and wide experience as teacher of the Bible and preacher of the gospel have come many of the corn- ments to be found in this volume. The plan or outline of this book is simple. It is divided into sections which are recognized by scholars as natural divi- sions of the Gospel According to Luke; these sections are di- vided into smaller sections, according to the natural composi- tion of Luke; and the smaller sections are divided into para- graphs for easy and clear comprehension. The traditional di- vision into chapters and verses has been disregarded, as these divisions were made for easy reference, and not for compre- hension. The American Standard Version has been used as the text and all quotations are made from that version. This volume is offered to the public with a prayer that it may prove a rich blessing to all who reverently and devoutly study its contents. H. LEO BOLES. Nashville, Tennessee, January 1, 1940.

    Unit 26 • Session 4 Use Week of: Leader BIBLE STUDY In ancient Israel, living with a skin disease wasn’t easy. It was painful and isolating. Leprosy is a disease caused by bacteria, and it affects the skin, nerves, and mucous membranes. The disease can cause deformities in hands and feet and paralysis of some muscles. Leprosy is contagious, and the people of Israel had laws about what to do when a person becomes infected. First, the person would go to a priest. The priest would examine him, and if the disease was confirmed, the priest would declare the person to be unclean. The law in Leviticus 13:45-46 says that the infected person must tear his clothes and let his hair hang loose. He must cover his mouth and cry out, “Unclean, unclean!” This was a warning for others to stay away 4 from him. The infected person must live alone outside the camp. When the person’s disease was healed, he had to be declared “clean” by the priest. This involved an examination and the sacrifice of animals. The person had to wash his clothes, shave his hair, and take a bath. Then he had to wait outside the camp for a week and wash again. The priest would make an atonement for the person who was cleansed. (See Lev. 14:1-32.) A man with a serious skin disease approached Jesus and fell down before Him. “If You are willing, You can make me clean,” he said. The man’s words were more of a truthful declaration than a request.

  • Pretoria's Golden Gospel Book: a Study of a Luxury Seventeenth-Century Armenian Manuscript
    Pretoria's golden Gospel Book: a study of a luxury seventeenth-century Armenian manuscript Carol Steyn Research fellow, Department of Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology, University of South Africa E-mail: steynfc@lantic .net A 17th century Armenian manuscript, a Gospel Book, has been in Pretoria in what is now the Na­ tional Cultural History Museum since 1897 and has never been displayed or studied. It is a particu­ larly luxuriously illustrated manuscript that was bought by Pres. Kruger and his executive commit­ tee from an Armenian fugitive. Its presence in South Africa is surprising since there has never been more than 200 Armenians in the country. The history of the manuscript is explained and the manu­ script is examined in detail in the context of similar Armenian Gospel Books elsewhere in the world. Keywords: Armenian, manuscript, Gospel Book, Gospels, President Kruger, illuminations, scribe. Pretoria se goue Evangeliarium: 'n studie van 'n luukse Armeense manuskrip. 'n Sewentiende eeuse Armeense manuskrip, 'n Evangeliarium, is sedert 1897 in Pretoria in wat nou die Nasionale Kultuurhistoriese Museum is, en is nooit vertoon of bestudeer nie. Dit is 'n besonder luuks geillustreerde manuskrip wat deur President Kruger en sy uitvoerende komitee van 'n Armeense vlugteling gekoop is. Die teenwoordigheid daarvan in Suid-Afrika is verbasend aangesien daar nog nooit meer as 200 Armeniers in Suid-Afrika was nie. Die geskiedenis van die manuskrip word verduidelik en die manuskrip word in besonderhede ondersoek in die verband van soortgelyke Armeense Evangeliaria elders in die wereld. Sleutelwoorde: Armeens, manuskrip, Evangeliarium, evangelies, President Kruger, illuminasies, skribent. richly illustrated 17th century Armenian manuscript, a Gospel Book, has been lying on a shelf in the Cultural History Museum in Pretoria since 1897.

Isaiah’s oracles announcing the inauguration of a new era of God’s favor and a salvation reaching to the ends of the earth shape Luke’s vision; their images and vocabulary permeate his thought. For Luke, “cleansing” is a means by which God extends this salvation, and Luke therefore uses cleansing language, in forms of the word katharizō, to mark three specific manifestations of salvation in his accounts of the life of Jesus and of the early church. Katharizō explains the predominantly Gentile presence in a first-century religious movement born in Judaism.

  • Leader BIBLE STUDY
    Unit 25 • Session 1 Use Week of: Leader BIBLE STUDY Jesus’ ministry had begun. His first miracle was at a wedding in Cana, turning water into wine. He cleansed the temple in Jerusalem and performed signs, and “many trusted in His name” (John 2:23). Jesus 1 likely spent a large part of His day teaching. When the day was done, He spent time alone or with His disciples. One night, however, a man named Nicodemus approached Jesus. Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a ruler of the Jews; that is, he was a religious leader who taught God’s law, and he was a member of the Sanhedrin—a Jewish governing body. Nicodemus was part of an exclusive group of religious elite who appeared to be moral men. He held to the belief that if a person was a law-abiding Jew, then he would be accepted by God. Jesus gave Nicodemus a lesson that would turn his belief system on its head. Jesus was a carpenter (Mark 6:3), so the religious teachers likely assumed He didn’t know theology. But they had seen Jesus’ miraculous signs in Jerusalem. Nicodemus, a representative of the teachers, had to conclude, “You are a teacher come from God” (John 3:2). Nicodemus initiated the conversation, but Jesus chose the subject. His words perplexed Nicodemus: “Unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Jesus explained that spiritual birth is not unlike physical birth in that a person cannot do it himself. It is something that happens to him.

Norman Wood, USAF (Ret), Burke, VA, 703-898-8818, [email protected] SUBJECT: Unreality SECTION II: Haman’s Revengeful Design Against the Jews (Esther 3: 2-9) “This chapter begins with the sudden and unexplained promotion of Haman, who has not been mentioned before.” (Peake’s Commentary) Haman [H_’m_n] (“magnificent”) TIME LINE: @480 BCE Hammedathe Haman Haman is the name of the vizier (i.e., the prime minister) of the Persian king Ahasuerus ( HYPERLINK "http://bible1.crosswalk.com/OnlineStudyBible/bible.cgi?passage=es+3:1" Esther 3:1). He is called an "Agagite," which seems to denote that he was descended from the royal family of the Amalekites, the bitterest enemies of the Jews, as Agag was one of the titles of the Amalekite kings. He or his parents were brought to Persia as captives taken in war. He was hanged on the gallows which he had erected for Mordecai the Jew ( HYPERLINK "http://bible1.crosswalk.com/OnlineStudyBible/bible.cgi?passage=es+7:10" Esther 7:10). Eddy, Rev. Mary Baker (Discover and Founder), “Mind Healing History,” Christian Science Journal (June 1887), p. 109. --In a peppery pamphlet, Mr. Dresser delivers a stupendous eulogy over the late P. P. Quimby, as his healer, and exaggerates and fabricates in Quimby's behalf; but all that is kind, and I wish it was honest. --In his pamphlet Dresser states that Quimby "discovered the science of life," — God. • Must not the science of life be of necessity eternal? ---Later, Mr.

Norman Wood, Burke, VA, 703-898-8818, [email protected] for CSDirectory.com SUBJECT: Christian Science SECTION I: The Annunciation; The Birth of Jesus; and a Decree from Cæsar Augustus (Luke 1: 26,27,30-35,38; 2: 1,3-7)) Gabiel [Gay’bree-uhl] (“champion [or strong man] of God”) Gabriel is one of the most prominent angels in the post-exilic Jewish literature and in Christian texts, especially extra-canonical literature. The “champion of God” was used as a proper name to designate the angel who was sent to Daniel to explain the vision of the ram and the he-goat, and to communicate the prediction of the seventy weeks. He announced also the birth of John the Baptist, and of the Messiah. He describes himself in the words, "I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God" (Luke 1: 19). Kaufman, Virginia, “Two Ministering Angels,” Christian Science Journal (February 1959), p. 90. --the Gospel of Luke the angel Gabriel is represented as revealing to the Virgin Mary that she was to be the mother of the Saviour, Christ Jesus. --Gabriel, who announced the coming of Jesus, evidences a [quiet] type of thought • Gabriel symbolizes the clear, calm realization of Love’s ever-presence that well be described in the following words of Mrs. Eddy (S&H 411): “If Spirit or the power of divine Love bear witness to the truth, this is the ultimatum, the scientific way, and the healing is instantaneous.” --The Virgin Mary was receptive to Gabriel’s message and accepted it.
