Revisit Paradox Resolution. Who was Luke? Generally assumed to be a Gentile (Cf. Col 4:11 and 14). The date and circumstances of his conversion are unknown. Luke Chapter 18 He is named only three times in the N.T. According to his own statement (Luke 1:2) he was not an “eye-witness and minister of the word from the Persistence in Prayer. The Dangers in Self-Esteem. The Hindrance of beginning.” Wealth. The Coming Climax. He was the “beloved physician” of Col 4:14; he used more medical terms Luke Chapter 19 than Hippocrates, the father of medicine. Zacchaeus’ Response. The Triumphal Entry. It is probable that he was a physician in Troas, and was there converted by Paul, to whom he attached himself. He accompanied him to Philippi, Luke Chapter 20 but did not there share his imprisonment, nor did he accompany him further after his release in his missionary journey at this time (Acts 17:1). Jesus Approaches His Climax in Jerusalem. Citizenship Obligations. On Paul’s third visit to Philippi (Acts 20:5,6) we again meet with Luke, Luke Chapter 21 who probably had spent all the intervening time in that city, a period of seven or eight years. From this time Luke was Paul’s constant compan- Olivet Discourse. The Future of the Nation Israel. The Destruction of the ion during his journey to Jerusalem (Acts 20:6-38, 21:1-18). He again Temple.

Judas Betrays Jesus. The Final Passover. Jesus’ Plea in the Garden. Legal Irregularities. The last notice of the “beloved physician” is in (2Tim 4:11 ). There are many passages in Paul’s epistles, as well as in the writings of Luke, which Luke Chapter 23 show the extent and accuracy of his medical knowledge. There are no “accidents” in Scripture; he was chosen by the Holy Spirit. Jesus and Pilate. The Crucifixion. A New Testament Acrostic? Jesus and He and Paul were on a very high intellectual level. He wrote the best Greek the Father. Jesus’ Burial. The Cities of Refuge. of any of the New Testament writers. His writings are regarded as one of the finest pieces of historical writing in all of ancient literature. He was Luke Chapter 24 a poet; he alone records the lovely songs of Christmas and some of the marvelous parables. The Resurrection! The Road to Emmaus. Sir William Ramsay, a skeptical archaeologist, went into Asia Minor to disprove Luke as an historian. After careful investigation he concluded Page 4 Page 5 that Luke had not made one historical inaccuracy. Sir William Ramsay became a believer. Luke’s is the most complete historical narrative. “Quadraphonic” Design of the Gospels: The Son of Man (vs. Lion of the Tribe of Judah, et al.) [See chart on next page.] Luke gives us many features omitted by Matthew and Mark: An obstetrical account of the virgin birth; 20 miracles, six of which are in no other Gospel; 23 parables, 18 of which are nowhere else; The Emmaus Road and other details of the resurrection. H.A. Ironside points out: The religion of Israel could only produce a Pharisee; The power of Rome could only produce a Caesar; The philosophy of Greece could only produce an Alexander, an infant at heart; It was to this Greek mind that Luke wrote: he presents Jesus Christ as the Perfect Man, the Universal Man, the very person the Greeks were looking for. Luke 1 Prologue 1] Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, Other gospels in circulation?

Zacharias was of the course (division) of Abijah. Who is Theophilus? There were about 8,000 priests in the land at that time; about 300 in each course; 56 were chosen by lot to participate each day.2 “Theophilus” = “lover of God,” was a common name during the first century. He was probably the direct recipient of Luke’s Gospel who then 6] And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments gave it wide circulation in the early church. and ordinances of the Lord blameless. “Most excellent”: apparently he was an official of some kind.

  • 70. the Gospel of John—8:12-24
    70. The Gospel of John—8:12-24 “The Light of the World” Pt.3 (5/5/19) In our study in John’s gospel we are currently in chapter 8 where we came across one of the seven “I Am” statements of Jesus that John built his gospel around. Every time Jesus called Himself “I AM”, He was declaring that He was the voice from the burning bush (Exodus 3:13-14) where God identified Himself to Moses as the great ‘I AM’. And so, as we study John 8, understand that the whole chapter is built around Jesus’ declaration of divinity—which led to a heated confrontation between Himself and His enemies. II. The Heated Confrontation—v.12-59 A. Round One—Light and Darkness (v.12–20) John 8:12 (NKJV) 12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." And so, this very heated confrontation started with Jesus declaring Himself to be Yahweh (the great I AM) and Messiah—and ended with His enemies picking up stones to kill Him (v.59). The ‘them’ in verse 12 refers to the scribes and Pharisees (v.3)—the ‘scholars’ of Judaism. When Jesus called Himself “the light of the world”—it would have immediately reminded them that Yahweh was likened to ‘light’ in their Scriptures many times (Psalm 27:1; 84:11). 1 And so, when Jesus proclaimed, “I AM—the light of the world”—He was claiming to be the God of Israel—the radiant Shekinah Glory! It was the Shekinah Glory (presence of God in the form of a pillar of fire by night) that was the light that lit their ancestor’s way thru the darkness of the wilderness for those forty years before entering the Promised Land.

The Jews have invoked the curse upon themselves, haven’t they?

  • 1 the Gospel of Matthew General Introduction the Gospel of Matthew Has Long Been the Most Popular of the Four Canonical Gospels
    The Gospel of Matthew General Introduction The Gospel of Matthew has long been the most popular of the four canonical Gospels: consistently placed first in the canonical lists, it was widely used in early Christian communities, and for some time was thought to be the first Gospel written (though now we believe Mark was written first). Indeed, even today, people are often most familiar with Matthew’s Gospel. For example, over the next eight weeks, you’ll be encountering some of Jesus’ most famous teachings: “Love your enemies,” “Turn the other cheek,” “Do not be anxious about tomorrow,” “Let the children come,” “Go make disciples of all nations,” and the Lord’s prayer in the form most churches use today (as opposed to Luke’s version in Lk. 11:1-4). As the most Jewish of the four canonical Gospels, Matthew also provides a nice bridge between the two testaments of the Christian Bible. Author and Provenance According to tradition, this Gospel was written by Matthew (also called Levi), a former tax collector and one of Jesus’ twelve disciples (Mark 3:18; Matt 9:9; 10:3; Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13). The author implied by the text itself was clearly an early Jewish Christian who was well-educated and multilingual (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek). He was also an interpreter of earlier traditions, adopting and adapting several sources in the telling of his tale (the Gospel of Mark, a hypothetical sayings-source scholars call “Q,” the OT, oral tradition, and possibly a “special source” scholars call “M” or “special Matthew”).

  • His Blood Be on Us and on Our Children!”: a Contextual Study and Reevaluation of the Infamous Blood Curse
    AJBT Volume 21(18), May 3, 2020 “HIS BLOOD BE ON US AND ON OUR CHILDREN!”: A CONTEXTUAL STUDY AND REEVALUATION OF THE INFAMOUS BLOOD CURSE Abstract After the horrors of the Holocaust, many churches began to reconsider their stance towards the Jews. This reconsideration consistently included the Gospel of Matthew’s statement, “His blood be on us and on our children!” For centuries, this “blood curse” has served as a basis for Christian anti-Jewish violence and Christian animus towards Jews. But perhaps this statement was never intended to lead to such atrocities. This article examines both this phrase’s textual and cultural context, concluding that the anti-Jewish slant was interpreted into the text itself. Keywords: Matthew, anti-Judaism, antisemitism, blood curse, interfaith Introduction The darkness of the Holocaust cast a spotlight onto Christianity. Germany, the country that initiated the Holocaust, had a population that was nearly entirely Christian.1 The Pope, one of the most respected Christians in the world, remained more or less silent throughout the tragedy. 2 Some Christians even went as far as staffing concentration camps.3 How could those who subscribed to a religion that taught “you shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Mt 22:39)4 as the second most important commandment––second only to loving God with all of your heart, soul, and mind (Mt 22:36–37)––have followers or members who stood by and 1 “The German Church and the Nazi State,” United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, accessed March 6, 2018, http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005206.

  • Does the New Testament Teach Anti-Semitism? Part 2
    www.thinkingfaith.co.nz Does the New Testament Teach Anti-Semitism? Part 2 In the first part of this article we examined the charge that the Gospel of John teaches Anti- Semitism. We evaluated the argument put forward by Bryan Bruce in his documentary Jesus – the Cold Case, that the Gospel of John portrays ‘the Jews’ as enemies of Christ and therefore enemies of God, and that it is ‘the Jews’ who are responsible for the death of Jesus. Bruce claims that the Gospel of John holds ‘the Jews’ responsible for Jesus death, therefore the Gospel of John is inherently Anti-Semitic. However, upon investigation we saw that the Greek word Ioudaios translated as ‘the Jews’ can be used in three ways. It can mean the Jewish nation, the people of the region of Judea, and the Judean leadership, the chief priests and Pharisees. It is my contention that Bruce failed to take seriously the context in which the word Ioudaios is found, and because of this arrives at an illegitimate understanding of the text. The second line in Bruce’s argument comes from the Gospel of Matthew where the people gathered before Pilate cry out for the blood of Jesus to be upon their heads (Matt 27:25), but even this passage needs to be read in context. Firstly, it is the Chief Priests and Pharisees that are reported to have bound Jesus and delivered him to Pilate (Matt 27:1-2). When Pilate offers the crowd the option of having Jesus freed, Matthew records that it is again the Chief Priests and Elders who manipulate the crowd and motivate them to demand the blood of Jesus (27:20).

  • The Handmaids of Jacob's Story in the Context Of
    DOI: 10.29135/std.447665 STD, XXVII / 2, Ekim | October 2018, 391-407. Araştırma | Research THE HANDMAIDS OF JACOB’S STORY IN THE CONTEXT OF CHRISTIAN ART HRİSTİYAN SANATI BAĞLAMINDA YAKUP HİKAYESİ’NDEKİ CARİYELER Pınar SERDAR DİNÇER* Abstract A related issue addressed in this research is whether or not these handmaids in the Jacob story, who are depicted in Christian art as playing important roles and holding crucial positions in the family, are biblically more important to both the narrative and the family than has traditionally been recognized. Because of the importance of the historical context, the story of Zilpah and Bilhah is a remarkable myth for females and may be viewed as a master archetype of the age-old infertility problem. This raises of the question of how handmaids were defined in the Bible. In the study, examples of Christian art were included with the Bible commentary. Consequently, identifying the handmaids is only possible by following the chronological sequence of events in Genesis. This study also shows the identify of handmaids in the biblical book of Genesis. Besides the Bible, rabbinic sources were also investigated in detail. It is possible that children may have increased the status of women in Genesis but this is only true of women who already had status to speak of. Keywords: Handmaid, Jacob, Christian art, Zilpah, Bilhah, Öz Bu araştırma aile içinde önemli bir pozisyona sahip olan Yakup hikayesindeki cariyelerin (Zilpa ve Bilha) Hıristiyan Sanatı’nda nasıl tasvir edildikleri ile ilgilidir.
