him. 53They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his
face set towards Jerusalem. 54When his disciples, James and John,
saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from
the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”
55But he turned and rebuked them,
“You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
56For the Son of Man didn’t come
to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.”
They went to another village.

“The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky
have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
59He said to another,
“Follow me!”
But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my
father.”
60But Jesus said to him,
“Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go
and announce the Kingdom of God.”
61Another also said, “I want to follow you,
Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my house.”

“No one, having put his hand to the plow, and
looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.” |

Lk 10:1-12
1Now after these
things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two
ahead of him
into every city and place, where he was about to come. 2Then he
said to them, “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but
the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may
send out laborers into his harvest. 3Go
your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. 4Carry
no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way. 5Into
whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’ 6If
a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will
return to you. 7Remain in that
same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is
worthy of his wages. Don’t go from house to house. 8Into
whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set
before you. 9Heal the sick who
are therein, and tell them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near to you.’
10But into whatever city you
enter, and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11‘Even the dust from your city that
clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the
Kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 12I
tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that
city.

The Joy of Christ. |
Lk 10:17-24
17The seventy returned with joy, saying,
“Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
18He said to them,
“I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven. 19Behold,
I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the
power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you. 20Nevertheless,
don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that
your names are written in heaven.”
21In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the
Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord
of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and
understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it
was well-pleasing in your sight.”
22Turning to the disciples, he said,
“All things have been delivered to me by my Father.
No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is,
except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”
e
23Turning to the disciples, he said
privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the

and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear
them.” f |

25Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and
tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
26He said to him,
“What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
27He answered, “You shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and
with all your mind;
and your neighbor as yourself.”
28He said to him,
“You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29But he, desiring to justify himself, asked
Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”
30Jesus answered,
“A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among
robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half
dead. 31By chance a certain
priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other
side. 32In the same way a Levite
also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33But a certain Samaritan, as he
traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
34came to him, and bound up his
wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought
him to an inn, and took care of him. 35On
the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to
the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond
that, I will repay you when I return.’ 36Now
which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell
among the robbers?”
37He said, “He who showed mercy on him.”
Then Jesus said to him, “Go
and do likewise.”

with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care
that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.”

“Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, ‘Friend,
lend me three loaves of bread, 6for
a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set
before him,’ 7and he from within
will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children
are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’? 8I
tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his
friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many
as he needs.
9“I tell you, keep
asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep
knocking, and it will be opened to you. 10For
everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be
opened.
11“Which of you
fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks
for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t
give him a scorpion, will he? 13If
you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much
more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?” |

(Lk 11:14-28)
Jesus Defends Himself Against a Blasphemous
Accusation. |
Lk 11:14-28
14He was casting out a demon, and it was
mute. It happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the
multitudes marveled. 15But some of them said, “He casts out
demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.” 16Others, testing
him, sought from him a sign from heaven. 17But he, knowing their
thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided
against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself
falls. 18If Satan also is divided
against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out
demons by Beelzebul. 19But if I
cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out?
Therefore will they be your judges. 20But
if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come
to you.
21“When the strong
man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
22But when someone stronger attacks him and
overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and
divides his spoils.
23“He that is not
with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
24The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of
the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says,
‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’ 25When
he returns, he finds it swept and put in order. 26Then
he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they
enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the
first.”
27It came to pass, as he said these things,
a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said to him,
“Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
28But he said, “On
the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.” |

generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign
of Jonah, the prophet. 30For even
as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also the Son of Man be to
this generation. 31The Queen of
the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and
will condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the
wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.
32The men of Nineveh will stand up in
the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at
the preaching of Jonah, and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.

but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness. 35Therefore

therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be
wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you

Woes Against Pharisees and Lawyers.

Lk 11:37-54
37Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked
him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table. 38When
the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before
dinner. 39The Lord said to him, “Now you
Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward
part is full of extortion and wickedness. 40You
foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
41But give for gifts to the needy those
things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
42But woe to you Pharisees! For you
tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of
God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
43Woe to you Pharisees! For you
love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the
marketplaces. 44Woe to you,
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the
men who walk over them don’t know it.”
45One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher,
in saying this you insult us also.”
46He said, “Woe to
you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry,
and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
47Woe to you! For you build the
tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48So
you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them,
and you build their tombs. 49Therefore
also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and
some of them they will kill and persecute, 50that
the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the
world, may be required of this generation; 51from
the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar
and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
52Woe to you lawyers! For you
took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those
who were entering in, you hindered.”
53As he said these things to them, the
scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many
things out of him; 54lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch
him in something he might say, that they might accuse him. |

nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will not be
known. 3Therefore whatever you
have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken
in the ear in the inner chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4“I tell you, my
friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no
more that they can do. 5But I
will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has
power to cast into Gehenna.
Yes, I tell you, fear him.

everyone who confesses me before men, him will the Son of Man also confess

speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who
blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

“Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your
life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
23Life is more than food, and the body
is more than clothing. 24Consider
the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn,
and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
25Which of you by being anxious can add a
cubit to his height? 26If then
you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the
rest? 27Consider the lilies, how
they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28But
if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and
tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of
little faith? 29Don’t seek what
you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious. 30For
the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father
knows that you need these things. s
31But seek God’s Kingdom, and all
these things will be added to you. 32Don’t
be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you
the Kingdom. 33Sell that which
you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which
don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief
approaches, neither moth destroys. 34For

if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins
to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to
be drunken, 46then the lord of
that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him, and in an hour
that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with
the unfaithful. 47That servant,
who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be
beaten with many stripes, 48but
he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with
few stripes. To whoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to

rather division. 52For from

two against three. 53They

on the Sabbath day. 11Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit
of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way
straighten herself up. 12When Jesus saw her, he called her, and
said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your
infirmity.” 13He laid his hands on her, and immediately
she stood up straight, and glorified God.
14The ruler of the synagogue, being
indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude,
“There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days
and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!”
15Therefore the Lord answered him,
“You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his
ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and lead him away to water?
16Ought not this woman, being a
daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from
this bondage on the Sabbath day?”

“To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God? 21It
is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures
of flour, until it was all leavened.”

Footnotes
a) There is an interval of about two months
between verses 21 and 22 in John 10, Tabernacles to Dedication, unless this
interval is to be placed between John 8:59 and 9:1. Though John does not
mention the fact, there is little doubt that after His visit to the Temple
at the Feast of Tabernacles Jesus returned to Galilee and shortly afterwards
took His final departure southward, returning to Jerusalem for the Feast of
Dedication, retiring to Perea, returning to Bethany for the raising of
Lazarus, withdrawing to Ephraim, and then making His final journey to
Jerusalem in the spring of 30 A.D. The intermission between Tabernacles and
Dedication seems to be filled in by Luke 9:51 to 13:21.
John speaks of four journeys of Christ to Jerusalem:
for the Feasts of Tabernacles and Dedication, for the raising of Lazarus and
for the final visit at Bethany. Likewise it seems that there are
corresponding breaks in Luke, to be arranged as follows:
Tabernacles
John 7:10 to 10:21, followed by Luke
9:51 to 13:21.
Dedication
John 10:22 to 10:42, followed by Luke
13:22 to 17:10.
Raising of Lazarus
John 11:1 to 54, followed by Luke 17:11
to 19:28 and parallels.
Arrival at Bethany
John 11:55 to 12:11, followed by Luke
19:29 and parallels.

f) Compare No. 82, 3.
g) It is impossible to trace the movements of
Jesus in the period between Tabernacles and Dedications after His final
departure from Galilee. Here we see that His wanderings brought Him again to
Judea, to the little town of Bethany, just a little east of Jerusalem.
h) Compare No. 72, 12. Probably the "disciple"
who made the request belonged to the outer circle and had not been with
Jesus when He preached the Sermon on the Mount.
