A new fresh rendition of the New Testament is to be published as an online serial
under the title of Read IRENT, as a work-in-progress, in Adobe PDF file format,

conventional translations and in church talk. It is a common peoples English
but no less dignified, with its content not adulterated with ones own personal
opinion and message as seen in several popular modern publications, which have
often gone beyond the limit of paraphrase and actually into a rewriting.

The title IRENT, chosen for the translation text work itself, is an acronym for
Invitation to Reading in English New Testament.

This issue is Readers Edition of IRENT Gospel of Luke (as most commonly
called) in English with the footnotes. All the Endnotes are found in the Study
Ready Edition - Endnotes to be used along with the Study Ready Edition Text.

Overview: Outline 1

There are many different ways to present for overview of this Gospel. It would be
shrewd to start with a simpler one before one may wish to delve into more detailed
outline.

G. Campbell Morgan in his The Analyzed Bible (1964) has a rather detailed one
under three distinct parts: (p. 382)



Luke Jesus Christ the Man

A. PERFECT (1: 3:)

Prologue (1:1-4)
I. Being and Birth (1:5-2:39)
II. Childhood and Confirmation (2:40-52)
III. Develoment and Anointing (3:1-22)
(Genealogy 3:23-38)

B. PERFECTED (4:1 9:36)

I. Devil -Testing. First Process nd Issue (4:1-14)
II. Man -Teaching. Second Process and Issue (4:15 9:26)
III. God -Transfiguration. Third Process and Issue (9:27-36)

C. PERFECTING (9:37 24:53)

Prelude (9:37-50)
I. Purpose and Preparation (9:51 18:30)
II. Approach and accomplishment (18:31 -24:12)
III. Administration (24:13-53)



[six passion summaries in Luke: Lk_9:22, 44; 17:25; 18:31-33; 24:7, 46-47.]


Outline 2

A simple outline in Cairds gives an excellent way of grasping the text of
such large size.


SECTION I: (1:1-4) Prologue

SECTION II: (1:5 2:52) Promise of Deliverance

SECTION III: (3:1 4:13) Preparation for Service

SECTION IV: (4:14 9:50) Ministry in Galilee

SECTION V: (9:51 19:28) Road to Yerusalem
@


SECTION VI: (19:29 24:53) Death and Victory

@
This section has a large segment of 9:51 18:14 <Lukan Special Section>.

Outline 3

Beginning with Immanuel
PART I: (1:1 4:13) Introduction to the Son-of-man

PART II: (4:14 9:50) Galilean Ministry of the Son-of-man

Kefas Confession & The Way to the Cross (9:18-36)

a


[Yeshua, the Son-of-man]



a

signifying authorship and editorship.]
Good News [the Gospel = the good news of Gods Kingdom through Yeshua the Messiah.] [joyous
message. =gospel (from Old English). Gospel referring to the message itself or the individual book of
(four canonical) Gospels.]

PART I: Introduction to the Son-of-man

Yohanan & Yeshua 1:1 4:13

(Luke 1)
Dedication
Lk 1:1-4 Dedi cati on
1:1

Since, as is well known,
many indeed have undertaken
to draw up a written account
concerning those facts and events
which have taken place
fully [and established firmly] in the midst of us,
1:2
based on what was exactly handed down onto us
by those who, from an [official] beginning,
have become firsthand experiencers
and servant-ministers of the [joyful] message proclaimed,
1:3

therefore, as I have followed through [with the mind]
all things closely from its start,
it seemed right even to me, [so have I decided] that
I should set down in writing an orderly account to you
Your Excellency, O Theophilus!
a[=Act 1:1]

1:4
that you may know how well founded and truthful are
the things expressed in words
which you have received from teaching in instruction.


a
1:3 Theophilus [= Act 1:1; Gk. who dearly loves God]

Zekharyah
Lk 1:5-25 Bi rth of Yohanan foretold
1:5
There came to be
in the days of Herod [the Great], King of J udea
a
,
a certain kohen named Zekharyah
b
,
from the Abiyah division [of the kohanim]
c

and he had a wife from the daughters,
also [in the line of the tribe] of Aaron,
and her name was Elisheba
d
.
1:6
And they both were righteous
e
before Elohim
f
,
walking in accord with all the commandments
and ordinaces of the very Adonai
g

they being free from repoach;
1:7
And they had no dear-child, Elisheba being barren;
moreover, by now, both of them, were well gone one in their age.


1:8
Now while he was serving as kohen before Elohim
in the turn of his service division
1:9
according to the practice of the service of kohanim
the duty became to fall on him

by lot
{

1Ch 25:8}

to enter into the [+]
h
Sanctuary of the very Adonai
and make incense offering [+ on shabbat].
1:10
And the whole multitude of the people was in prayer
gathered there outside [in the middle cour of the Temple]
at the hour of incense offering.

1:11
And [while Zekharyah was inside the sanctuary]
there appeared to him an angel
i
of Adonai,
standing at the right side of the Altar of Incense.
1:12
And Zekharyah was startled at the sight
and fear came upon him.
1:13
But the angel said to him,
Dont be afraid, Zekharyah, you see,
a
1:5 King of Judea [Only here. Elsewhere in 17 places in NT Gk has King of the Jews 23:3 ff.]
b
1:5 Zekharyah [Heb. meaning "remembered by Yah"]; /Zechariah - most; /Zacharias KJV; /
c
1:5 Abiyah [Heb. meaning "My Father is Yah"] [Abiyahs division was 8th among 24. It is not possible
to determine the date of J esus birth based on a possible time of Zekharyahs service. See EE]
d
1:5 Elisheba [Only in G-Lk] [Heb. meaning "Elohim is my oath"] /Elizabeth (in English);
e
1:6 righteous [righteous worthy for Gods name. See BW.]
f
1:6ff Elohim />God; [IRENT renders the Greek the God as Elohim.]
g
1:6ff Adonai [Gk. kurios Lord][Where Gods very name should be known (e.g. v. 16), IRENT renders
the Tetragrammaton as YHWH (vocalized as Adonai; pronounced as Yahweh etc. /x: J ehovah). See BW.] />
LORD; /x: the Lord;

1:9 the [+] Sanctuary [+Holy Place of Temple] [Not to be confused with the Holiest Place (Heb 9:3)
which Kohen HaGadol enters once a year at the Atonement Day (Yom Kippur) on 10th of Tishri.]
i
1:11 angel [created spirit being as a divine messenger]

favorably heard is your supplication. [+]
a


There, as for Elisheba, your wife, she will bear you a son
and you shall call his name <Yohanan>
b
.
1:14
And you will have joy and such delight,
and many will rejoice at his birth.
1:15
Indeed, he will be great in the sight of the very Adonai
and

wine or strong-drink
c
he will never touch it,
{

Num6:2-4}

and he will be filled with holy spirit
from his very birth leaving his mother's womb.
1:16
And he will turn many of the sons of Yisrael
to YHWH
d
their Elohim
e
.
1:17
Yes, it is he who will [+]
f
go forth
#1
before the Elohim
[v.76b]

in spirit and power of Eliyahu
g
,
[cf. Mk 9:13; Mt 11:14; 17:13] [2Kg 2:11]

to

turn the hearts of the fathers

to [love] their dear-children;
[

Mal 4:5,6]

and [to lead] the disobedient
[to walk] in the wisdom of the righteous;
[In this way] Yohanan will make ready for [
+
the plan of] Adonai
a people well-prepared.
[Isa40:3a; Mal 3:1]


1:18
And Zekharyah said to the angel,
[If its true of coming the long-promised Messiah,]
on what basis should I know this [to be so]?
[cf. know - v.34]

I, you see, am an old man,
and my wife is well gone on in her age!

1:19
And the angel answered him, saying
Its me I, Gabriel,
h [v. 26]
speaking,
the one who stands in the very presence of Elohim,
and Im sent to tell you
and bring good news of these things to you.
[vv. 13-17]


1:20
And listen! you shall remain shut up and,
[try as you may],
a
1:13 supplication [+] [+ on the behalf of Yisrael with entreaty for the Messiah to come for its
deliverance]; /x: prayer most; /[Zekharyah was not praying for a son (nor he was expecting one - v. 18),
but was answered to have a son to be the Messiahs forerunner.]

1:13 Yohanan (YHWH is gracious); /Heb. Yochanan; /J ohn most; [Except for the baptizer here,

will be unable to speak a word,
until the day that these things actually take place,
because you didnt believe my words as they are ,
which shall be fulfilled in their due time.


1:21
Meanwhile the whole of people was {in a full congregation praying}
waiting for Zekharyah [to come out]
and they all began to wonder
what was keeping him so long inside the Temple Sanctuary.
1:22
And when he did come out,
he couldnt speak to them.
And [right away] they knew that he had seen a vision
while in the Temple Sanctuary.
And as for Zekharyah,
he was addressing them in signs to communicate
and remained unable to speak throughout.

1:23
Thus it so came about
when the days of his [duty on] sacred service[at the Temple]
were completed,
he returned home.

1:24
And after these days Elisheba his wife conceived,
and she kept herself from showing up for five months,
saying
1:25
This is what the very Adonai has done for me
in these days when He has looked with favor upon me!
He has taken away my disgrace among people!



Annuncio
Lk 1:26-1:38 Annunci o to Mariam
1:26
Now in the [lunar] sixth month
a
[of that year]
the angel Gabriel
[1:19]
was sent from Elohim to Nazareth,
a small village in GALILEE,
1:27
to a virgin maiden
b

[1:34]
given into marriage to a man named Yosef
c

who was from the House of David;
a
1:26 the [lunar] sixth month [of that year] [A relevant time-marker in the Scripture pointing to the
month of His birth ( early in the third lunar month of the year during Shavuot).] [Note: It is not a simple
re-statement of the sixth month of Elisheba's pregnancy (v. 36) along with v. 24.]
b
1:27 virgin maiden />virgin most; [See under BW for Gk. parthenos in LXX and underling Hebrew
words for virgin as well as maiden of marriageable age.] [simply a young girl of usual marriage age about
mid-teen they in that culture were all virgins(being virgin comes focused later in v. 34 - See fn there).]
c
1:27 given into marriage to ~ Yosef (/J oseph Eng.); />promised in; /x: engaged;

and the name of this virgin maiden was Mariam
a
.


1:28
And the angel, coming in before her, greeted:
Shalom! Be rejoicing,
O you, favored with Gods grace!
The LORD be with you.
{O wonderful Mariam! As for you, be you praised
among all women [to become such a mother]!}


1:29
Now, {seeing him,} she was quite perplexed at his saying
and was pondering what sort of greeting this might be.
1:30
And the angel said to her,
Do not be afraid [of what youre about to hear], O Mariam,
you see, youve found favor with Elohim.
1:31
Now you will attend to my words!
conceive in your womb
and give birth to a son
and you shall call his name Yeshua
b
:
1:32
he shall be great
and he shall be called Son of the Most High
and YHWH Elohim will give to him
the throne of his forefather David:
1:33
and he shall reign over the House of Yaakob
c
into the ages,
and of his Kingdom reign there shall be no end.

1:34
And [+taking in all this,] Mariam said to the angel,
How shall this to be
[
+
awesomely accomplished]?
[cf. v.18]

. . . seeing that we havent got together yet . . .
to cometo know a husband!
d


1:35
And the angel answered and said to her,
Holy spirit will come upon you
and power of the

Most High will cover over you;

a
1:27 Mariam [in Aramaic and Greek;. common name of unclear origin. Mary in English; Maria in
Latin] [Not from Davids line (of the tribe of Yudah) but from the Tribe of Levi. (Lk 1:5 her being a relative
of Elisheba /Elizabeth )] /Mary most; /Miriam JNT; /
b
1:31ff Yeshua [a shortened form of a comman theophoric Hebrew name Yehoshua (Yah is Salvation),
Yah - short form of YHWH]; /Gk. Isous; /Iesus also KJV 1611, Geneva, Bishops, Latin; /J esus English,
French, etc.; [born 3 BC; died 30 CE at age 33.] [See BW for *Yeshua, *J esus]
c
1:33 Yaakob /Yaakov; /J acob (- English form. Cf. J ames)
d
1:34 <verse> not know a man/husband; /x: am a virgin; [it is this verse which specifically tells
Mariam being a virgin; not the word virgin by itself in 1:27, since it corresponds the word quoted from
LXX corresponds to Hebrew word for maiden (of marriageable age) in Mt 1:23.]

this is why the holy One who is begotten {in you}
shall have a title <Gods Son>
a
.
[cf. Exo 13:12]


1:36
And look, here, Elisheba your kinswoman
b
!
even she has conceived a son in her old age,
and this is now the sixth month with her
everyone used to say <O such barren one!>
1:37
all this has come about by virtue of the fact that

nothing declared by Elohim

is impossible with Him.
[Gn 18:14 LXX; cf. Isa 55:11]

1:38
And Mariam said,
See, the handmaid of Adonai, here Im!
May it be done to me as you have said.

Then the angel departed from her.

Lk 1:39-1:56 Mari ams vi si t to Eli sheba
1:39
And a few days after this,
having made herself ready [for a long journey from Nazareth],
Mariam set out and, in haste bound for the Judean highland
she went up to a certain town in J udea.
1:40
On arriving, entered the house of Zekharyah
and gave her greeting to Elisheba.
1:41
And it so came about
when Elisheba heard the greeting from Mariam,
the baby jumped in her womb,
and Elisheba was filled with holy spirit;

1:42
and she exclaimed, crying out loud [to Mariam],

And Mariam said,
Magnify [His name], O my soul,
magnify [the name of] the very LORD.

1:47
And rejoices, O my spirit,
rejoices in Elohim my savior!
1:48
yo all see that, tenderly Hes looked upon His servant-maid
humble as she is.
Indeed, look, from now on
all generations shall call me blessed [in Gods favor].

1:49
Yes, great things the mighty One has done to me.
Oh, indeed,

holy is His name:

1:50
And

His [reaching out with] mercy be

from generations to generations on those revering Him.
1:51
He has stretched out
His mighty arm;
He has scattered off
the ones haughty in the thoughts of their heart.
1:52
He has brought down the mighty ones from their thrones
and has exalted the humble ones.
1:53
The hungry ones,
He has filled and satisfied with good things;
and the rich ones,
He has sent away empty handed.
1:54
He has come to the help of

Yisrael, His servant,

{

Isa 41:8; 44:21}

remembering to show His mercy,

made to our forefathers

to Abraham and to his seed forever!

As for Elisheba herself,
when the time came to the full for her to give birth,
she brought forth a son.

And those neighbors and her kindred heard that
Adonai had shown His great mercy towards her,
and they all rejoiced with her.

1:59
And it so came about that

on the eighth day,

that they presented themselves
for the brit-milah

of the child
and they were about to have him named Zekharyah
after his fathers.
1:60
His mother, however, spoke up and said,
Not so! Hes to be called Yohanan
b
.

1:61
And they said to her,
There is no one in your family who goes by that name!

1:62
And they made gestures to his father
inquiring as to what he wanted the child to be called.
1:63
He, for his part, beckoned for a writing wax tablet
and inscribed on it <YOHANAN thats his name>
to everyones surprise.

1:64
And his mouth was opened all at once with his tongue loosed
and he began to speak, praising Elohim.
1:65
And all their neighbors were awestruck
#
;
and there throughout the whole hill country of J udea
all these things were being talked about.
1:66
And all who heard these kept reflecting them in their heart, saying
What really will this child become?

Yes, {indeed} the hand of Adonai was with him.

1:67
And his father Zekharyah was filled with holy spirit
and prophesied, saying [concerning the coming Messiah]:

1:68
Praise be to {YHWH} Elohim of Yisrael.
Because He has come to care for
and has ransomed His people,

1:76

yes, as for you, my child,

Now the child grew and became strong as to spirit.

2:2 first of its kind [+] [+ occurred in Judea];

while Quirinius

was administering

over SURIA

2:3
Accordingly, all went off to get registered,
each to their own ancestral home town.
2:4
Among them was Yosef, who went up from Galilee,
out of the town of Nazareth,
to head for J udea
d
, to the home-town of David
which is called Bethlehem
e

because he himself was
from the royal House and family-line of David
2:5
to get registered along with Mariam,
who had been given in marriage to him
but now being pregnant.

2:6
And so it came to pass that,
during the time when they were there in Bethlehem [+]
f

the days came to the full for her to give birth.
2:7
And she gave birth to a son,
[BC 3] g
her firstborn,
and, having swaddled him up,
laid him in a stall

It was that there was no place

and

glory of Adonai shone around them

and great fear came upon them.

And the angel said to them,
Do not be so afraid; Listen well,

this shall be a sign[to prove whats announced to be true]:

And suddenly there was with the angel
a multitude of the heavenly host praising Elohim
and saying,

2:15
And it so came to pass that,
when the angels departed from them into the heaven,
the shepherds said to one another,
Indeed,
let us go off to Bethlehem
and lets see this announcement for ourselves
that has been fulfilled,
which the the very Adonai has revealed to us.

2:16
And they hurried off
[heading to the village to locate them].
And here they were,
both Mariam and Yosef
yes, with the new-born baby
lying in the animal stall [just as they were told]!

while Mariam, for her part, kept all these things in her heart,
pondering upon them.

As for the shepherds, they returned to their flock,
glorifying and praising Elohim
for all that they had heard and seen
It had all come out exactly as they had been told it would.

[CE 9]

2:43
And when the [seven prescribed] days were ended,
{Ex 12:15ff}

as they were returning,
the boy Yeshua remained behind in Yerusalem;
and Yosef and his mother
{/mss}
didnt notice it.
2:44
But assuming him to be in their traveling group,
they made a day's journey,
Afterwards they began to look for him
searching among their relatives and their acquaintances
2:45
and when they did not find him,
they returned to Yerusalem, looking for himthere.

2:46
And it came about that,
three days later since they left the City,
they found him in the Temple Courts,
sitting among the [Torah] teachers,
listening to them and putting questions to them:
2:47
and all who heard him were astonished
at his understanding from his answers.

And he said to them,
Oh boy, how is it that
yo had to go looking for me?! [+]

Didnt yo really know that [now] it is necessary for me

And he went down with them and came back to Nazareth,
and there he was placing himself under their authority;
And as for his mother
she dearly treasured all these things in her heart.

And the Devil said to him,
To you
I will give all this authority

for it has been given over to me.
And to whomever I choose
I am giving it!
4:7
You, therefore, if you are ready
to prostrate yourself before me,

Begins His ministry in Galilee
PART II: Galilean Ministry of the Son-of-man

Public Ministry in Galilee 4:14 9:50

4:14
And Yeshua returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee
and a report went out through all the region around about him.
4:15
And he began to teach in the synagogues [of the people] there,
being praised by all.

Lk 4:16-30 {//Mt 13:53-58; //Mk 6:1-6a} Proclai mi ng & rej ected at Nazareth
4:16
And he came back to Nazareth
where he had grown up
and he was entering, as usual to him,
on the day of the shabbats
a
into the synagogue there.

And once there he rose up [+]
b
of reading out aloud
[+ from Tanakh Scripture for the congregation]:
4:17
So, to him the scroll of the prophet Yeshayahu was handed.
And, unrolling it
he found the place where it was written,

4:18
<

YHWHs spirit
c
is upon me;
He has [thus] anointed me!
[Heb 1:9; //Lk 3:22]

He has sent me
{to heal the broken in heart},

and to the blind recovery of sight,

{Isa42:7}

to send the oppressed freed with a release,

{Isa58:6}

4:19

{Isa61:2a}
>

4:20
And upon this, he rolled up the scroll
and returned it to the attendant, and took his seat,
everyone of the congregation in the synagogue
having fixed their attention
#
on him.

4:21
He then began to address them,
Today, he said, this scripture passage in Tanakh is fulfilled . . .
in yor very hearing.

4:22
And all were well impressed by him and shocked in wonder

at the graceful words coming out from his mouth
and they said,
Why! This cant be Yosefs son!

4:23
So he replied them,
Surely, yo will say to me quoting a proverb like this,
<Doctor, cure yourself>,
and say:
<Why dont you do also here
in the hometown of your father
what we have heard of that happened
in Capernaum [far out there]!>

4:24
And continuing, he said,
[//Mt 13:57; //Mk 6:4; (J n 4:44)]

Yes!
I say this to yo:
No prophet is good enough to be acceptable
in the hometown of his father.

4:25
But its true!
I tell yo this:

There were many widows in Yisrael in the days of Eliyahu,
when the heaven was shut up three years and six months,
when there was a great famine over all the land;
4:26
yet Eliyahu was sent to none of them,
except to [the village of] Zarephath in the land of Sidon
to a widow, a foreigner, non-Yisraelite.
[1Kg 17:9-24]

4:27
And there were many lepers in Yisrael
in the time of Elisha the prophet,
and none of them was made clean,
except Naaman the Syrian, a non-Yisraelite.
[2Kg 5:1-24]


4:28
And the whole congregation in the synagogue[gasped and]
became furious as they heard these words;
4:29
and they jumped up [on their feet]
and hustled him out of the town
and pushedhim as far as a brow of the hill
((on which their town had been built))
They meant to throw him down off the cliff.
4:30
But making his way right through them
he went off.

And he came down to Capernaum,
a city in Galilee.
And he was teaching them
on the shabbats [as people gathered]:
4:32
and they were astounded at his teaching;
because it was with [such] authority his word was.
[Mt 7:29; Mt 1:22]


Lk 4:33-37 {//Mk 1:23-28} Healing a demoniac in the synagogue
4:33
And there in the synagogue [+]
a
there was a man
with unclean spirit of demon,
and he cried out with a loud voice,
4:34
saying
Aah! [Let us alone!]
What have we to do with you? Yeshua, [You] Nazarene
Have you come to to put us out?
I know you, who you are the Holy One of Elohim!

4:35
And Yeshua rebuked him, saying
Shut up! Now get out of him!

And after throwing the man down in the midst,
the demon came out of him; [look!] nothing had hurt him
4:36
And amazement came upon all
and they began to speak to one another, saying
Whats going on with his word!
yo see, with authority and power
he commands the unclean spirits,
and they come out!

4:37
((And what people heard about him
was spreading into all over the countryside.))


Lk 4:38-41 {//Mt 8:14-17; //+Mk 1:29-34} Healing Kefas mother-in-law and the sick
4:38
And he got up and, leaving the synagogue,
he made his way to the house of [a man called] Shimon
b
.
And the mother-in-law of this Shimon was there
suffering from a high fever,
and they asked him to do something for her.
4:39
He came over to her lying down and,
bending over her, he rebuked the fever
and it left her.
All at once she got up and began to attend them.

4:40
And as the sun was setting
a
4:33 synagogue [+] [+ where He put Himself teach people]
b
4:38ff Shimon [his original Hebrew name] />Simon; [Name Kefa >Peter appears from 5:8 on.]

[+ with shabbat daylight waning],
all those who had anyone in ill health with various diseases
brought them to Yeshua,
and he laid his hands on every one of them
and healed them.
4:41
And demons also came out of many, crying out
You are {the very Messiah}, the Son of Elohim
a
!

And rebuking them, he did not allow them to speak out [about it]
because they knew him to be the very Messiah.

Lk 4:42-43 {//Mk +1:35-38}
4:42
And when it became daylight,
he left and went into a deserted place
and the crowds kept looking after him.
and [when] they came as far as he was
and tried to keep him from leaving them.
4:43
But he said to them,
Also to the other towns as well
it is necessary for me to annouce good-news
of the Kingdomreign of Elohim;
this is the very reason Ive been sent.

Now it so came about,
while the crowd pressing close on him to hear the word of Elohim,
on his part, Yeshua was standing beside the Lake of Gennesaret.
5:2
And he saw two small ships standing by the lake-side;
but the fishermen, having got out of them, were washing off their nets.
5:3
And he got into one of the ships, which belonged to Shimon,
and asked him to pull out a little from the shore.
Then, he sat down and there from the ship he began teaching the crowds.

5:4
And when he had finished speaking [the word of God to the crowd],
he said to Shimon,
Why dont you pull out [the ship]
to the deep [water].

God. It is also a title for Messiah of YHWH. Not God the Son.] [See Son of God under BW]

for a [real] haul!

5:5
And Shimon answered and said to him,
Hi chief
Through a whole night we toiled
but weve caught nothing [in our net] [+]
a


Well, if you say so
I should then lower all these drag-nets once more
and will see, yeah, will see.

5:6
And when they had done this, they closed-in a great number of fish,
and their net was about to break;
5:7
so they signaled by motioning to their partners in the other ship,
to come and help them.
And they came and filled both ships with fish,
to the point of sinking.
5:8
There, when Shimon Kefa

saw this,
he fell down at Yeshuas knees,
saying
Go away from me.

And Yeshua said to Shimon,

it is going to be people [no, not fish]

Leper healed
Lk 5:12-16 {//Mt 8:2-8; //Mk 1:40-45} Heali ng a leper
5:12
And it so came about, while he was in one of the towns,
look there, a man covered with leprosy!
When seeing Yeshua he fell down on his face
and begged him, saying Master
If only you just wish to, you can make me clean.

5:13
And Yeshua stretched out his hand and grasped the leprous, saying
I do! Its my wish.
Be you made clean!

And at once the leprosy departed from him.
5:14
Yeshua, for his part, charged him
Tell no one [on the way] about what had happened.
Instead,
go off [straight] to

let the kohen exmanine you

[Lev 14:2]

and then present your purification-offering
in accordance with what Moshe had laid down
as a proof to the them that you are clean.

5:15
The story about Yeshua, however, spread even more,
and large crowds were gathering up to hear him
and to be healed {by him} of their sicknesses.
5:16
Yeshua on his part pulled himself out
to be in the desolate places and be praying.

Paralytic healed
Lk 5:17-26 {//Mt 9:2-8; //Mk 2:1-12} Heali ng a paralyti c
5:17
And it so came about on one of those days
when he was teaching
that there were Pharisees and teachers of the Torah sitting there,
the ones who had come out of every village of Galilee and J udea,
even out of Yerusalem.
And power of Adonai was there for him to heal
{/(to heal) them}
.

5:18
And look, men were carrying on a cot
a
h
man who was paralytic
and they tried to bring him in
and to lay him before him.
5:19
And not finding by what way they might bring him in
because of the crowd,
they went up to the [flat] roof-top
and [making an opening] through the tiles,
they let him down on his little cot
into the mist in front of Yeshua.
5:20
And seeing such trust they had, he said to him,
Our young man
Your sins [of breaking Gods Law] are forgiven.

5:21
And the soferim and the Pharisees began to deliberate, saying
Who is this guy [ mere mortal!]?
[//Mt ]

He is uttering [such] blasphemies!
Who can forgive sins [against Gods Law],
except Elohim alone?
[//Mk 2:7b; //Mt ]


5:22
But Yeshua knowing their wondering, replied them, saying
What are yo wondering
in yor mind?
5:23
Which one is easier?
when I tell [to this miserable person]
<Your sins are forgiven>;
or, I tell <Get up on your feet and walk>?

5:24
But in order that yo may know this
(and be proven to yo)
that the Son-of-man has full authority on earth
to forgive sins ....

At this point he said to the paralytic man,
To you I say: Get up!...
You can pick up your cot and go on to your home.

5:25
And all at once, he got up before them
and having picked up what he had been lying on,
he went home, praising Elohim.
5:26
And astonishment took hold on all present there
and they praised Elohim,
and they were filled with awe, saying
We have seen extraordinary things today.


Levi (=Matthew) called
Lk 5:27-32 {//Mt +9:9-13; //Mk +2:13-17} Calli ng Levi (=Matthew)
5:27
And after these things Yeshua left the house
and then saw a tax-collector
a
, named Levi,
seated at his tax booth
and said to him,
Become a follower of me!

5:28
And he got up, left everything behind,
and went following him.

a
5:27 tax-collector [for tribute the Romans exacting from the occupied population.. Elsewhere as tax-
profiteer 7:29ff. Cf. Zacchaeus (chief tax-collector 19:2). See BW]

5:29
Then Levi spread a big reception feast in his house
in honor of
^
Yeshua
and reclining at the meal were quite a number of tax-profiteers
and other people of the same kind.
5:30
And the Pharisees and their soferim murmured to his disciples
a
,
saying <Why is it that yo eat and drink [like that]
mingled with the tax-profiteers and outcast sinners
b
?>

5:31
And [overhearing,] Yeshua responded [to this], saying to them,
Those who are healthy have no need of a physician;
but those who are sick, they do.
5:32
I have come to call and invite to me
not those of righteous virtue
but outcast sinners to repent turning from their sins.
[cf. 1Tm1:15]


On fasting; Old vs. new
Lk 5:33-39 {//Mt +9:14-17; //Mk +2:18-22} Questi on about fasti ng; Old vs. new

see, they do often fastings and make supplications
c
;
so do the disciples of the Pharisees;
5:33
but the ones disciples with you
go on eating and drinking! huh!

5:34
And he said to them,
Yo cant expect the bridegrooms attendants keep
their fasting,
while the bridegroom is still with them, can yo?
5:35
But the days will come
when the bridegroom will be taken away from them,
then theyll go on to keep fasting in those days.

5:36
And he spoke also a parable to them:
No one cuts a piece off a new clothes
and patch up an old one;
If he does,
not only the new one will get ruined
and but also, the patch from the new
wont match the old clothes it.

Plucking grain heads on shabbat

b
,
that Yeshua
h
was going through the fields of standing grain,
c

and his disciples plucked the heads of grain
and did eat them up, rubbing them in their hands.
6:2
But some of the Pharisees said to them,
Why are yo doing what it is not permissible [for us] {to do}
on the shabbats?

6:3
And answering them, Yeshua said,
Have yo neither read even this

[1Sm21: 1-6]

what David did, when he got hungry,

he himself and those with him?
6:4
how so he went to the House of Elohim

[to see the Priest there]

ate the loaves of

bread

which had come off [on the previous day]
from the presentation table

[in the Holy Place]

Not allowed [against the Law] for no one to eat those bread

Healing a man the withered hand on shabbat
Lk 6:6-11 {//Mt +12:9-14 //Mk +3:1-6} Heali ng on shabbat: a wi thered hand
6:6
Now it so came about on another shabbat,
he entered into the synagogue and taught.
And a man was there;
his right hand was withered.
6:7
And the soferim and the Pharisees were now watching him closely,
to see whether on this shabbat he would as customarily give healing;
so that they might find something to accuse him of.
6:8
As for Yeshua himself, however, he knew their going through in reasoning,
yet he said to the
m
man with his withered hand.
Get up and stand into the midst.

And he arose and stood up.

6:9
And Yeshua said to them,
Let me ask yo:
Isnt it something allowable on the shabbat
doing good deeds rather than doing bad deeds?
Yeah, having a life
b
saved
rather than having it destroyed!
[//Mk 3:4][Cf. Mt 12:10b, 12b]


6:10
And after having looked around at them all, he said to the man,
Stretch out your [withered] hand!

And he did so,
and his hand was restored.

6:11
((But they became filled with anger, and
talked to each other
as to what they should do about Yeshua.))

And on the way coming down with them
Yeshua made a stop at a plateau [on the slope];
and there was a large crowd of his disciples
and a great multitude of the [native] people
from all of J udea and Yerusalem,
and from the coastal-region of Tyre and Sidon.
They had come to hear him
and to be divinely healed of their diseases;
6:18
and those who were plagued by unclean spirits
were being healed.
6:19
And all the crowd tried to grasp him
because power of healing was coming forth from his presence
and he gave divinely healing to them all.

The Beatitudes [The blessed ones]

the poor ones of God [+]

why! yors is

6:21
Blessed are yes, the ones who hunger now!
why! yo shall be filled.
Blessed are yes, the ones who

weep now!
{

Ps 126:6}

why! yo shall be rejoicing
d
.

6:22
Blessed are yo,
whenever others bring their hatred against yo
and whenever they reject and shun yo
and reproach yo and defame yor very name
all on account of the Son-of-man.
6:23
When this happens, rejoice on that very day;
yes, yo should leap for joy!
when yo take note that yor reward is rich in the heaven.
In fact, thats exactly
how their forefathers treated the prophets.

6:24-26 How shameless!
6:24
But how terrible [and shameless!] it would be to yo
who luxuriate in rich,
why! yo have received yor comfort in full!
6:25
How terrible it would be to yo
who are full with food now,
why! yoll be hungry!
How terrible it would be to yo,
the ones laughing now,
why! yoll have deep sorrow and weep!
6:26
How terrible it would be to yo,
when people heap up praise on yo,
why! that was just the way
their fathers were doing even to the false-prophets.

6:27-36{//Mt 5:38-48} Love your enemies
6:27
But to yo, I say to the ones listening to me:
<Be yo loving those who come as enemies toyo;
do good to those who do not love yo>.
6:28
Give blessed words those who curse yo,
pray on behalf of those who exploit yo.

To everyone who asks you [to borrow]
[Mt 5:42]

give;
and from the one who takes away what is yours,
do not demand it back.

6:31
Yes, just as yo would like others to do to yo,
do likewise to them.
[Mt 7:12]


6:32
And if yo love those who love yo,
what good is that for yo?
Its a fact that
even those outcast sinners love those who love them.
6:33
And if yo do good to those who do good to yo,
what good is that for yo?
Yo see, even those outcast sinners do that too.
6:34
And if yo let those people borrow
whom yo expect to get repaid [+to claim yor gain],
what good is that for yo?
After all, even {those} outcast sinners let other sinners borrow,
expecting to get repaid in full!

6:35
No, be yo loving those who come as enemies to yo
and do them good
and let them borrow,
turning down no one

And yor reward will be great
and yo shall be [as] sons of the Most High:
yes, He Himself is kind even when we are ungrateful
and at our worst as well.
6:36
Be compassionate
just as yor Father is compassionate!


Lk 6:37-42 {//Mt 7:1-5; //Mk 4:24-25} How not to judge others
6:37
And dont be judging down on others,
that way yo are by no means
to be judged likewise!
Dont condemn others,
that way yo are by no means
to be condemned [with sentencing] likewise!
Be yo setting others free,
and yo shall be off free!

6:38
Be yo giving, and yo shall be given
a

pressed down and shaken up and running over
they shall give it into the folder on yor lap.
Indeed, in the same measure container yo are measuring out,
it will be measured out to yo in return.

6:39
And he also spoke a proverb to them,
A blind one cannot guide another blind, can he?
Wont they both fall into a ditch?
6:40
A pupil is not above his teacher;
but everyone fully trained will be like his teacher.

6:41
And why is it that you hardly fail to spot
the tiny splinter
in the eye of your fellow brother,
but do not give a thought to
the big wooden plank
in your own eye?
6:42
Yeah, why is it that you dare say to your fellow brother,
<Brother, why dont you let me take out
that splinter in your eye>,
when you yourself fail to see
the plank in your own eye?

You hypercritical pedant
Take out first the plank out of your own eye
and then youll be able to see clearly enough
to take the splinter out of your fellow brother's eye.

6:43-45{//Mt 12:33-35} (cf. Mt 15:20)} By their fruits shall be known
6:43
Indeed, no good tree produces bad fruit;
nor, again, a unhealthy tree produces fine fruit.
6:44
In fact, each tree is to be known from its own fruit.
They, yo see, dont gather figs from thorny thistles,
nor do they pick grapes off from a thorn-bush.
6:45
The good
h
man brings forth what is good,
out of the good thing treasured in his mind and thought
and the evil one brings forth what is evil
out of the evil treasure of his heart:
indeed, what ones mouth utters
comes out of what the heart is full of.

I will show yo to whom this one is like:

who dug deep down
and laid a foundation upon the bed-rock
and when a flood came,
the torrent burst upon that house

because it has been built so well
6:49
But the one who has heard [my words] but do not act accordingly,
is like a man who has built a house upon the soil

without a firm foundation;

and what a great destruction that entire house became!


(Luke 7)
Lk 7:1-10 {//Mt 8:5-13; //Jn 4:46b-54} Fai th of a centuri on at Capernaum
7:1
And after Yeshua had finished
all his sayings in the audience of the people,
he entered Capernaum.

7:2
And a junior officer
a
of a certain Roman centurion
b
was ill
and was at the point of death
this one was precious to him.
7:3
Now, hearing about Yeshua,
this centurion sent Elders of the J udeans to Yeshua;
to ask him whether he would come and save his servant.
7:4
And when they came to Yeshua,
they pleaded with him earnestly,
saying
He deserves it to have you do this for him;
7:5
you see, he really loves our country
in fact, he himself had even the synagogue
built for us.

7:6
And Yeshua went off with them.
And when he was not far from the house
the centurion had already sent friends to tell him,
<Sir,
don't trouble yourself [this much by coming],
its nuance is more than that of Master, a usual rendering when addressing Yeshua (e.g. 5:8).]
a
7:2 junior officer /servant most; /servant-boy; /orderly JNT; / [Cf. Jn 4:46 royal officers son]
b
7:2 centurion [Roman officer commanding about 80 soldiers.]

Indeed, I am not fit for you
to come under my roof!
7:7
For that reason
neither I consider myself as worthy to come to yo.
Instead, just say by a word
and let my child the servant be divinely healed.
7:8
In fact, I myself too am a man placed under
{/mss}a
authority,
[as you are under authority of your Father]
me having myself soldiers under me as well:
thus I say to this one, <Go!>; there he goes,
and to another, <Come!>; here he comes.
Yes, I say to my servant, <Do this!>; then, he does it!

7:9
And when Yeshua heard these things,
he was appalled at the centurion.
He turned to the crowd that followed him,
And said:
I am telling yo:
No, not even in Yisrael
have I found such deep trust [as this]!

7:10
And the centurions friends who had been sent out
returned to the house
and found the servant in good health.

Widows son at Nain
Lk 7:11-17 Wi dows son at Nai n
7:11
And it so came about afterwards
b
,
that he went to a city called Nain in Galilee,
and his disciples were going with him as well as a large crowd.
7:12
Now when he got near to the city gate,
and look!
there someone who had died was now being carried out to burial
a mothers one-and-only son;
And besides, she was a widow;
and a considerable crowd from the city was with her.

7:13
And when the Master saw her,
he was moved with compassion for her
and said to her, Stop wailing

7:14
And he went up and touched the stretcher [bearing the body];
and those carrying it came to a halt.
And he said,
Young-man I say to you,
a
7:8 placed-under{/mss} {/who has}
b
7:11 afterwards /x: the day after KJV;

Arise!

7:15
And the dead man sat up and began to speak.
And Yeshua gave him to his mother.
7:16
And awe took hold on all and they glorified Elohim,
saying A great prophet has risen up in our midst!
[Deu 18:15; Act 3:22; 7:37]

Also, Elohim has come to see and help his people!

7:17
And this word concerning him spread out
throughout the whole J udea and all the surrounding-country.


Yohanan the baptizer sent inquiry
Lk 7:18-23 {//Mt 11:2-6} Yohanan sent i nqui r y to Yeshua
7:18
@
And the disciples of Yohanan [the baptizer] reported to him
concerning all these things [Yeshua has done].
7:19
so, Yohanan called a certain two of his disciples
and sent them to Yeshua,
to ask: <Is it really you that should be

the One who is to come

[3:1, 16]
[as we had believed so],
or are we all to wait for a different one?>

7:20
And when these came to Yeshua, the men said,
Yohanan the baptizer
a
has sent us to you to ask,
<Is it really you

that should be
the One who is to come,
or are we all to wait for another one?>

7:21
((In that very hour
he healed many from diseases, sickness, and evil spirits
b
,
and to many blind persons
he granted the gracious-gift of [restoring] eyesight.))

7:22
And Yeshua answered and said to them,
Go and report back to Yohanan
the things which yo have seen and heard
that blind ones are seeing again,
lame ones walk,
lepers are cleansed
and deaf ones hear,
dead ones are raised up,

poor ones have the good news

proclaimed to them.

[7:24b]

Lk 7:24-35 {//Mt +11:7-19} (cf. Mk 1:2) Yeshua wi tnesses about Yohanan
7:24
And after Yohanans scouts left,
Yeshua began to speak to the crowds about Yohanan:
What was it that yo went out into the wilderness to look at?
A reed swaying in the wind?
7:25
No? Then, what did yo go out to see?
A man wearing soft and fine clothes?
Look those [courtiers] who are in splendid dress
and living in luxury,
it is in the royal palaces they are found.
7:26
Really, what did yo go out to see? A prophet?
Yes! I tell yo, [to see] someone much greater than a prophet.
7:27
This is the one about whom it has been written,
{Mal. 3:1 //Mk 1:2b }

<Behold, Im sending my messenger
ahead of your presence,
who will prepare the way for your coming
before you.>
7:28
I say to yo: among those born of women
there is no onegreater {prophet} than Yohanan {the baptizer}:
yet the one who is humbler and lesser
[of those] in the Kingdomreign of Elohim
is greater than he is.

7:29
((Now all the people who heard this, even the turncoat tax-profiteers,
acknowledged Elohim to be God of righeousness,
they were people who had all come to get immersed
with Yohanans immersion rites.
7:30
But the Pharisees and the Torah-sages
a
disregarded the plan
which Elohim set for them,
by not having come to get immersed from Yohanan.))

7:31
To what then can I comparepeople of this generation?
And to what are they like?

7:32
It is like children who sit there in the market place
and call out to one another [in their game-play],
saying
<We played flute for yo [as in wedding]
but yo all did not dancein joy;
we sang dirges for you [as in funeral]
but yo all did not weep in grief.>

And one of the Pharisees invited Yeshua for a meal.
Thus, having entered the house of this Pharisee,
[his name

v. 40]

he reclined at a meal.
7:37
And look! there, a woman was
well, an outcast sinner in this town!
When she learned that
he was reclined at a meal in the Pharisees house,
she brought an alabaster flask of fragrant-oil along with her,
7:38
and took up her place at his feet
[on her knees] there behind him.
Weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears.
She wiped them with the hair [flowing down] from her head
and kissed and kissed his feet ardently
and poured the fragrant-oil [on them].

Lk 7:39-50 A Lesson to Shi mon, the host
7:39
Now seeing that which was going on,
the very Pharisee who had invited him said to himself:
<This man, if he were a prophet, he would surely know
who and what sort of woman this one is.
[Look], she is touching him she, an outcast sinner!>

7:40
And responding [to the Pharisee], Yeshua said to him,
Shimon I have something to tell you.
And he says,
What is it goint to be, teacher?

7:41
Yeshua said,
There were two people
who owed money to a certain money-lender:
the one of them owed five hundred denarii [ a huge amount]!
and the other owed him fifty denarii [puny].
7:42
But when they did not have anything to repay him with,
he forgave both of them [and cancelled the debts].
Then, tell me which one of them will love him more?

7:43
But answering, Shimon said,
The one , well, I take it
who owed the bigger debt and graciously-forgiven.

a
7:36-50 <Woman Anointing Yeshua> [This full pericope in Lk is different from a shorter one within
the Passion narrative itself of other three Gospels. Common phrases appearing in vv. 36-38 are at a location

woman (Mariam in Jn) alabaster flask of fragrant-oil pour on His feet (=in J n cf. on His head in Mt &
Mk)][Shimon the Pharisee is poss. same person as Shimon the leper he later got contracted but healed by
Yeshua and hosted a dinner during the Passion week where Yeshua was anointed by a woman (identified as
Martha in Jn 12:1-3).]

And Yeshua said to him,
Youre right!

7:44
And turning to the woman, he said to Shimon,
This woman!
do you see her?
When I entered into your house [just while ago],
no water you gave me for my feet [to be washed].
But this very one, its with her tears she has wet my feet!
and with her hairs wiped them off.
7:45
Not a greeting kiss you gave me:
but this very one, ever since she came
{/mss}a
in,
has not stopped kissing me on my feet.
7:46
No oil you have brought out to pour on my head geeting as a guest:
but this very one, however,
with fragrant-oil has poured on my feet.

7:47
By virture of this,
I tell you that her sins her many sins! have been forgiven:
seeing that she has shown such deep love
while the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.

7:48
And he said to her,
Your sins are forgiven.

7:49
And those who reclined at the meal with him
began to say among themselves,
<Who is this guy who even forgives sins!>

And he said to the woman,
You have put your trust in me, so are you made whole.

A parable of a sower
Lk 8:4-18 {//Mt 13:1-23; //Mk 4:1-25} Lesson w/ parable of a sower
8:4
And when a large crowd gathered together
as the people from town after town were flocking to him,
he spoke in a parable
d
.
8:5
The sower went out to sow his seed:

And as he sowed,
some fell alongside the road, and it was trampled down
and the birds in the sky ate it up.
8:6
And other fell on the rocky base,
and after sprouting up,
it withered away because it had no moisture.
8:7
And other fell in among the thorny thistles,
and the thorny thistles grew up with it and choked it off.
8:8
And some other fell on the good soil
and, after sprouting up, produced fruit a hundred-fold.
As he told these things, he shouted,
The one who has ears to hear, let him listen!

8:9-10 Reason for telling in Parables
8:9
And his disciples asked him
what this parable might be about.
8:10
And he said,
To yo it is given the privilege of understanding
the hidden truths of the Kingdomreign of Elohim:
but to the rest it is given in parables,
so that, though looking, they may look in vain
and, though hearing, they may not get understanding.
{Isa. 6:9}

8:11-15 Interpretation of the parable of the sower
8:11
Now the parable is this:
The seed that is sown stands for the Word of Elohim.

8:12
Now those [seeds] fallen alongside the foot-path are

d
8:4ff parables [=illustrations in a story line to help understand some aspect of what is otherwise
beyond comprehension of the listeners. Many parables in the Gospels are to make truth claims. Many are
allegorical, but not same as allegories. Not fables. Narratives such as Passion narrative are not parables.]

[like in the case of] the [people] who have heard the Word;
then comes the Devil
a
and takes it away from their heart,
such that they may not come to believe and get saved.
8:13
And those fallen upon the rocky base are like in the case of the ones who,
when they hear it, welcomed the Word with joy.
But, as these do not have root,
they believe for a period of time
but in time of being put to test they fall away.
8:14
And as for what fell among the thorny thistles
these are [like in the case of] the ones who have heard
but, by being carried away
by worries and riches and pleasures of the living,
they get choked off and do not produce ripe fruit.
8:15
@
And as for that seed on the good soil
these are [like in the case of those] who
having heard the word in a fine and good mind,
hold it fast [in their hearts]
and bring forth fruit by virtue of their patient-endurance.
8:16-18 Listen
8:16
And no one, after lighting an oil-lamp,
covers up it with a vessel or puts it underneath a bed;
but places it upon a lamp-stand,
so that the people may see the light as they come in.
[8:16 // 11:33; //Mt 5:15]

8:17
Indeed, there is nothing hidden,
that will not become revealed;
nor anything kept concealed,
that will not be known and come to light.
[8:16 // 12:2; //Mt 10:26]

8:18
Pay attention then how yo hear this!
As yo should see
whoever has something,
more will be given to him!
but whoever does not have [to begin with],
even what he thinks he has
will be taken away from him!

And there came to him his mother and brothers

8:20
And a message was sent in to him,

8:21
But he answered and said to them,
My mother and my brothers are these:

On the ship

A storm stilled
Lk 8:22-25 {//Mt 8:18, 23-27; //Mk 4:35- 41} Across the Lake
8:22
Now it so came about on one of those days,
that he on his part got into a small fishing ship, also his disciples,
and he said to them,
Let us go over to the other side of the Lake.
And they set sail.
Sti lli ng the storm
8:23
But as they sailed,
he fell asleep.
Now violent windstorm came down on the Lake
[rushing down from Golan Heights],
and they began to be swamped and were in danger.
8:24
And having come to him, they aroused him, saying
Chief, chief We are about to perish!

And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves;
and they stopped and it became calm.
8:25
And he said to them,
Where is yor trust on me?

And they were awe struck and astonished, saying to one another,
Who really is this man?
He commands even winds. And the waves
see, how theyre obeying him!

Healing a Gadarene demoniac
Lk 8:26-39 {//Mt +8:28-34; //Mk +5:1-20} Heali ng a Gadarene demoni ac
8:26
And they sailed down to the region of the Gerasenes
{/mss}
,
which is on the eastern side opposite across the Lake Galilee.
8:27
And as Yeshua
h
came ashore,
there he was met by a certain man from the town [Gadara]
who was demon-afflicted
{and} for a long time
{} having worn no clothes
and nor staying in a house,
instead roaming around among the memorial-tomb sites.
8:28
And when he saw Yeshua, he cried out,
and fell down before him
and with a loud voice said,
What is it to me and to you?
Yeshua! O Son of Elohim the Most High!
I beg you, do not torment me.

8:29
This man acted in this way because Yeshua was already engaged
in the task of bidding the unclean spirit to come out of the man.

((As for that spirit, on many an occasion
it had seized the man with great violence,
people then secured him binding down with chains and fetters
so as to keep him safe.
However, he would break off whatever binds him down
and be driven by the demon into the uninhabited area.))

8:30
And Yeshua asked him, saying
What is your name?

And he said, Legion.
a


((It is that many unclean spirit of demons had entered him.))

8:31
And the demons kept pleading with him
that he would not order them off to the abyss.
8:32
Now there was a large herd
b
of swine
being fed there on the hillside.
So they pleaded with him to let them enter into these swine.
As he let them
8:33
the demons came out of the man
and entered into the swine [as he commanded].
the herd of swine rushed down the cliff into the Lake
and all drowned.
8:34
And when the swine-herders saw what had happened,
they fled and told it in the city and in the countryside.
8:35
And the town people came out to see what had happened,
and they came to Yeshua
and found the man from whom the demons had gone out
now clothed and sound-minded,
sitting at the feet of Yeshua! ;
and they became afraid.
8:36
And those who had seen it told these people
how that demon-afflicted man was saved to be made whole
[and how many pigs they got lost].
8:37
So all the crowd of the region around the Gerasenes
asked him to get away from them
because they were greatly afraid of what else he might cause.
Thus he got into {the} ship to turn away from them.
8:38
But the man, from whom the demons had gone out,
begged him to come along:
but Yeshua told him to send him away,
8:39
No, go back to your home; and tell to relate
what great things Elohim has done to you.

Healing Jairus daughter and A woman
Lk 8:40-56 {//Mt 9:18-26; //Mk +5:21-43} Yai rs daughter &a woman wi th hemor r hage
8:40
When Yeshua returned, the crowd welcomed him;
in fact, they were all waiting for him.
8:41
And look, a man named Yair
a
came,
who was a synagogue-president,
and falling down at the feet of Yeshua
pleaded with him to come to his house;
8:42
for she was his one-and-only daughter, about twelve years of age,
and she was dying.

As he was on the way the crowds thronged and pressed round him.
8:43
And there came a woman,
afflicted with a flow of blood
b
for twelve years,
who {had spent all her means of subsistence on healers, but}
[cf. Mk 5:26]

could not be cured by any one,
8:44
approached from behind him
and grasped on to the tassel at the hem of his robe.
And instantly her flow of blood ceased.

8:45
And Yeshua said,
Who is it that touched me?

And all denying, Kefa {and those who were with him} said,
O Chief The crowds are hemming you in
and are pressing upon you
{and you say, <Who touched me>?!}

8:46
But Yeshua said,
Yes, someone did touch me;
in fact,
I knew that some power of mine had gone out from me.

8:47
And the woman, seeing she could not go unnoticed,
came up to him trembling and fell down before him.
She disclosed before all the people
why she touched him and how she was healed instantly.
8:48
And he said to her,
Have courage, daughter your faith has made you well.
Go in peace.

a
8:41 Ya'ir /Jairus
b
8:43 afflicted with flow of blood =uterine bleeding (a common medical condition of women)
which makes her ritually 'unclean', which, in turn, makes anyone touching her also ritually unclean,
obligating themselves to go though 'purification rites'. Cf. Lev 15:25

8:49
While he was still speaking,
someone from the household of the very synagogue-president came, saying
Your daughter has died;
do not trouble the teacher {anymore}.

8:50
But Yeshua hearing it, answered towards Yairus, saying
Do not fear.
Only believe, [+nothing else right now,]
and she shall be saved to be made whole.

8:51
And when he came to the house,
he didnt let anyone to go in with him,
except Kefa and Yohan and Yaakob
and the childs father as well as mother.
8:52
And weeping were everyone in the house
and grieving over her.
But he said,
Stop weeping;
The child is not dead and gone;
instead, shes sleeping.

8:53
And they chuckled at him to scorn,
for they knew that she was dead.
8:54
But as for him,
{having put everyone outside and} taking hold of her hand,
he called out to her, saying
My child, arise.

8:55
And her spirit returned and she rose up instantly
And he ordered something be given her to eat.
8:56
And her parents were astonished. But he charged them
not to tell around to anyone what had happened.

The Twelve sent out
Lk 9:1-6 {//Mt 10:5-15; //Mk 6:7-13}[cf. Lk 10:1-16] The Twelve sent out
9:1
Now the day came when Yeshua called to him
the Twelve disciples together,
he gave them power and authority
to cast out all kinds of demons and to bring diseases to cure.
9:2
And he sent them out to go and proclaim the Kingdom reign of Elohim
and to heal the sick.
9:3
And he said to them,
[9:3-5 //10:3-12 cf. Mt 10:7-15]

Take nothing for yor journey,
neither a staff

[other than one yo have],
nor paupers bag, nor a loaf of bread,
nor silver money;
nor an extra tunic to have.
9:4
And wherever yo enter into a house,
stay there until yo leave that town.
9:5
And as for those who do not receive yo,
yo should, upon leaving that town,
shake the dust off yor feet
for a testimony against them.

9:6
And they started off and went through the villages
announcing good news and healing people everywhere they go.

and he was perplexed,
because some said
<Its Yohanan! he is raised from out of dead ones!>

and others said <Eliyahu! he has appeared.>
and still others said
<One of the old prophets has come back to life!>.

9:11
But the crowds got to know it

There, having welcomed them

The day then began to be declining.
Having come up to his side,
the Twelve said to him,
Send the crowd away!
if they make their way
into the villages around here, also the hamlets,
they could somewhere to stay for the night and
find some provisions.
You see, out here we are all alone middle of nowhere!

9:13
But he said to them,
Yo give them something to eat here! [Dont chase them off.]

And they said,
Nothing more than five loaves
and two fish weve got here
unless, of course, we ourselves go and buy some food stuff
for all of these people!

9:14
((yo see

there were about five thousand men there.))

And he said to his disciples,
Get them recline [on the grass]

And they did so and had them all recline.
9:16
And he took the five loaves and the two fish,
and looking up to the heaven he gave blessed words [+]

And they all ate until they had had enough,

it came to pass that about eight days after these words,

9:29
And it so came about that while he was praying,
the appearance

9:30
And look two men were there conversing with him here

9:31
Being revealed in [heavenly] glory
they were talking about his departure
which he was about to carry out in Yerusalem.

9:32
Meanwhile as for Kefa and the other two with him

So wonderful it is for us to be here!
Let us put up three tents [to rather stay on high up here];
one for you and one for Moshe and one for Eliyahu!
(( not realizing what he was actually saying.))
9:34
And Kefa was saying these, there came a cloud
and threw its shadow over them

PART III: Rejection of the Son-of-man

III. A & B. Road to Yerusalem
[II. Galilean Ministry 4:14;III. C. Final Ministry in Yerusalem]

A & B. Road to Yerusalem 9:51 19:27
((Luke Special Section 9:51-18:14))

9:51 18:14 Lukes Speci al Secti on

Lk 9:51 Desti ny: Yerusalem
9:51
Now it so came about, when the days were being fulfilled
for him to be taken up [from out of the world]
Yeshua on his part firmly set [his mind] to head for Yerusalem.

Lk 9:52-56 Spurned by a Samari tan vi llage
9:52
And he sent out scouts ahead of him.
These went and entered a village of Samaritans,
to make things ready for him.
9:53
However, the inhabitants did not welcome him,
a

because of his determination,
as they found out, to make for Yerusalem. [+]
b


9:54
And when his disciples Yaakob and Yohan saw what happened, they said,
Master,
do you want us to call down

fire from the heaven

to burn them all up
{as Eliyahu did also}
?

9:55
But he turned around and rebuked them
{saying, Yo do not know of what sort of spirit yo are.}

9:56
{((For
|
the Son-of-man did not come to get mens souls destroyed
but to save them .))}
And they moved on and went to another village.

9:57
And as they were moving on their journey,
a certain man [came up and] said to him,
Ill follow you
a
9:53 did not welcome [compare with their initial response by Samaritans in the early days of
Yeshuas ministry Jn 4:39-41]
b
9:53 Yerusalem [+] [which was not to their liking as it competed against their Mount Gerizim for
the center of the Festivals on the part of Samaritans.]

wherever you may be going off, sir.

9:58
And Yeshua said to him,
The foxes have dens
and the birds of air have nests;
but what does this Son-of-man have?
Not [even] a spot to lay down his head [for tonight]!

9:59
And he said to another,
Be a follower of me!

But he said,
Master
It is for my [deceased] father
[that I have one thing yet to take care of].
Please permit me go first
and see his re-burial be done right away
[before I keep on following you].

9:60
But Yeshua said to him,
Yes, as for those [living] dead ones
let them take care of burying their own dead ones.
you, however, go off
and proclaim the Kingdomreign of Elohim.

9:61
And another also said,
Ill follow you, Master
But permit me first to say goodbye to those folks in my home.

9:62
But Yeshua said to him,
No one who has once put his hand to the plow
and then keeps glancing backward
[cf. 9:23; 14:27; 33]

is fit well for the Kingdomreign of Elohim.


(Luke 10)
Sending out the seventy
Lk 10:1-12 (cf. Lk 9:1-6; //Mt 10:5-15; //Mk 6:7-13) the seventy i s sent out
10:1
Now after these things
the Master appointed {also} another set [of men],
seventy {two} in number.
These he would send out, two by two, in advance of him
whenever he himself intended to visit a town or some other place.
10:2
Then he said to them,
The harvest indeed is going to be big,
but the workers are few:
Well then, turn to the Master of the harvest
and plead to thrust workers into His harvest!

10:3
Get going! Yo go forth!
[10:3-12 //9:3-5]

Look I am send yo out like lambs into a pack of wolves.
10:4
[+For this journey] carry no money bag, no paupers bag,
not [even spare] sandals;
also, as yo are on the road
have yor eyes on no one to stop and schmooze.

10:5
And into whatever home yo will enter, first say,
<Shalom to this home!>.
10:6
And if a son of shalom is found in there,
the very shalom from yor greeting will rest upon him:
If it be otherwise, it is to yo that
your wishes will come back the way it went!
10:7
And stay with that same welcoming home,
eating and drinking what they provide:
indeed,
the laborer does deserve his wages.
[1Ti 5:18; 1Co 9:14]

Let there be no moving around
from house to another [+ for finding support].

10:8
And into whatever town
yo may be entering;
and when the people receive yo,
yore going to take whatever food put before yo:
10:9
and heal the sick there and say to them,
<The Kingdomreign of Elohim is here upon yo>.

10:10
But into whatever town
yo may enter
and when the people do not receive yo,
go out into its main streets,
and say,
10:11
<Even the dust from yor town that clings to our feet
we are wiping off against yo.
Nevertheless, know this:
that the Kingdomreign of Elohimhas here upon yo. >

10:12
I say to yo all, what will befall Sodom on that day [of Judgment]
will be more bearable than for that city will have to bear.

Lk 10:13-15 {//Mt 11:20-24} Woes on Gali lean ci ti es
10:13
How terrible it would be
to you, Chorazin
How terrible it would be
to you, Bethsaida [you in Galilee]
Straight to tell, if it were, instead, Tyre and Sidon
[those awful cities in SYROPHOENICIA]
that had seen such mighty Gods works which yo have seen,
they would have repented long ago turning from their sins,
sitting on the ground, put on sackcloth
and covered their heads with ashes in [expression of] grief.
10:14
Still, even as things are,
what will befall Tyre and Sidon in the [Day of] J udgment
will turn out to be more bearable than what will befall
#
yo.

10:15
And as for you, Capernaum
is it supposed to be that youll be exalted to heaven?
Far from it: Down to Hades you will fall!

Lk 10:16 {//Mt 10:40}(Jn 13:20) The one who hears you, hears me
10:16
Anyone who listens to yo [now being sent by me]
in fact, is listening to me,
and anyone who rejects yo
in fact, is rejecting me,
and anyone who rejects me
is rejecting the very One who sent me.

Lk 10:17-20 (cf. Mk 16:18) The Return of the seventy
10:17
And the seventy {two} returned with joy, saying
Master Even the demons are made themselves
subject to us in your name.

10:18
Yes, replied Yeshua to them,
There I was watching it and seeing the Satan

fall out of heaven,

{

Isa 14:12}

[down to earth], as lightning does!
10:19
See what Ive given yo?
{/mss}a
the very authority
to

trample down on serpents and scorpions

{

Ps 91:13} [cf. Mk 16:18]

yes, authority over all the power of the enemy;
and nothing shall by any means come to harm yo.
10:20
Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this
that those [evil] spirits are made themselves subject to yo;
but {rather} rejoice
that yor names have been written in the heavens.

Lk 10:21-22 {//Mt 11:25-27} Yeshua thanki ng the Father
10:21
In the very hour Yeshua became overjoyed in the
{+mss}b
spirit
and said,
I thank and openly give praise to You,
O Father Lord of the heaven and the earth
seeing that you have hidden these things
from those so wise and learned [apart from You]
and revealed them those babe-like.
a
10:19 have given {/mss} {/give}
b
10:21 {+mss} spirit {+holy} sprit; /spirit {+of Yeshua}

Yes, O Father, I praise You
because thats just how it became a delight in Your sight.

10:22

{
And having turned to the disciples, he said,
}

All things have been committed to me
by my Father;

And no one knows who the Son is,
except the Father,
and who the Father is, no one knows
except the Son and
except thoseto whom the Son chooses to reveal the Father.

Lk 10:23-24 {//Mt 13:16-17} Blessed are the di sci ples
10:23
And turning to the all disciples by themselves,
he said,
Blessed are the eyes
which see what yo are seeing!

10:24
Indeed, I say to yo that
many prophets and kings have been
longing to see what yo are seeing
but have not seen it,
and to hear what yore hearing
but have not heard it.

And instead of answering, he asked him back,

10:27
And in answering, he said,
[v. 27 - cf. Mk 12:30-33]

[in Deuteronomy:]
{Shema - Deu 6:5}

<You shall love YHWH your Elohim

a

from your whole heart

A good Samaritan
Lk 10:29-37 Answer with Parable of a good Samari tan
10:29
That Torah-savvy person,
now being anxious to prove himself to be righteous
[on that matter of scrupulously keeping the commandments],
[did what he could do there]:
he threw back another question to Yeshua,
[All right, then,]
just who is [fit to be] my neighbor?

10:30
Taking it up from him, Yeshua then begins to tell [+]
d

A certain man was going down. . .
from Yerusalem to Yericho

bedroom community for priests or the Temple workers in Yerusalem. (See Appendix Lk 10:30 with photos
- Oasis of J ericho). Presence in the narrative of a priest and a Levite on this road gives a hint of their on-
going collusion with political power.]

they ran off, leaving him {being} half-dead.

10:31
There, by chance, was a certain kohen
coming down on that road
and when he spotted it [afar], [How could he be bothered!]
he went by on the other side [of the road].

10:32
And likewise, a Levite also came on the scene there
and saw it he went by on the other side, too.

10:33
But a certain Samaritan traveling on the road came upon
where the man was fallen.
and, at seeing him, he was moved with pity
10:34
So, he went over to him, and bound up the wounds
after having poured olive oil and wine
a
over them;

[And then,] putting him upon his own beast of burden,
brought him to an inn and there he cared for him
10:35
And on the next day, {upon departing},
he took out two denarim
b
and gave them to the innkeeper
and said,
<Look after him, will you?
And whatever you may spend more for him,
I, on my coming back here, Ill certainly repay you.>

10:36
Now, the hard-hitting question is
<To this one here who fell into the hands of those bandits
which one of these three {then} seems to you
to have become himself
to be a neighbor to the very one in need?>

10:37
And that one very sage in the Torah said,
[Must I really say Samaritan?! . . . ]. Its the one . . .
who showed compassion on him.

This is then what Yeshua said to him,
Off you go and its now for you
do likewise as you have known well!

[v. 23 =Mt 12:30]


11:2426 {//Mt 12:43-45} (cf. Lk 6:45} Unclean spirit returning
11:24
This is what a unclean spirit does
when it comes out of a man:
[4:33]

it roams through waterless places,
looking for a resting place but finds none,
then it says,
<Im going to return to my house out of which I moved>.
11:25
And when he returns,
he finds the house swept clean and neat.
11:26
Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself,
and they all come in and take up their place there;
thus the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.




11:27-36 The fai thless gener ati on

Lk 11:27-28 True blessedness
a
11:20 Kingdom of God ~ come [i.e. in the person of Yeshua Himself.]
b
11:23 not with me ~ against me [Cf. Different expression from not against you ~on your side in
Mk 9:40 //Lk 9:50 ]

11:27
Now, it so came about
when he was saying this,
a woman from the crowd spoke up,
saying to himin a loud voice,
Blessed be the womb that carried you
and the breasts from which nursed you!

11:28
But in reply he said,
No, rather, blessed are those
who hear the word of Elohim and keep it.

Jonahs sign
Lk 11:29-32 {//Mt 12:38-42} (v. 29a = //Mk 8:11-12) A si gn as Yonah was
11:29
And when the crowds were massing together, he began to say,
This generation is an evil one:
it is looking for a sign [+]
a
!
but no sign will be given to it
unless it be such sign
b
as Yonah {the prophet} was:

11:30
Indeed, just as Yonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh,
so also the Son-of-man will bea sign to this generation.
11:31
The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment
against the men of this generation
to serve as evidence that will condemn them:
because she had come from the ends of the land
to hear the wisdom of Solomon,
and look, what is here now is greater than Solomon.
11:32
The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment
against this generation
to serve as evidence that will condemn it:
because they have repented to turn from their sins at preaching by Yonah,
and look, what is here now is greater than Yonah.

a
11:29 sign [+] [+ of coming of the Kingdom reign] (Lk 11:16 sign from heaven) (cf. Mt 12:28.) [Not

11:29 sign as Yonah was [Yonah >Jonah][not a sign Yonah gave]

Aphorism: lamp and eye
Lk 11:33-36 {//Mt 5:15; 6:22-23} Aphorisms: lamp and eye
11:33
No one having lit an oil lamp places it in a vault,
{neither under the measuring basket},
but on the lamp stand,
so that those who enter into the house can see the light.
[11:33 //8:16]


11:34
What the very lamp of the body is,
your
{/mss}a
eye is:
b

When
{/mss}c
your eye is sound
d
,
indeed lit up is your whole body;
but when it is sickened
e
,
indeed darkened is your body.
11:35
See attentively to it, then,
that what should be the very light does not turn into darkness.
11:36
if, then, your whole body is lit up with no part darkened at all,
it will be wholly lit up
like when a lamp shining on you with its light.


11:37-54 Phar i sees and sofer i m

Lk 11:37-11:54 Discourses against the Pharisees & soferim
11:37
Now when Yeshua had spoken,
a certain Pharisee invited him for a meal.
He went in and reclined at the meal.
11:38
But the Pharisee was shocked
at seeing that Yeshua had not first his hands washed
dipping in water before their meal.
[cf. Mt 15:2; //Mk 7:2]


11:39
And the Master said to him,
Now yo the Pharisees! the outside of the cup and the plate
yo do indeed keep clean;
but the inside of yo is full of greed and wickedness.
11:40
Yo foolish ones
Did not the One [=God] who made the outside
make the inside as well?
11:41
So then, cleanse
f
the inside,
[cf. Mt 23:26]

and then everything will be clean to yo.

a
11:34 your eye {/mss} {/the eye KJV++}
b
11:34 eye ~ lamp of the body [Cf. a modern expression eye is the window of a person.]
c
11:34 When{/mss} most; {then/therefore KJV++}; /indeed Cass; /
d
11:34 eye is sound [an Aramaic/Hebrew idiom for generosity.]
e
11:34 eye ~ sickened [an Aramaic/Hebrew idiom for stinginess.]
f
11:41 cleanse [So emended as in //Mt 23:26] [Gk. give alms. Emended by taking Aramaic word
zakkau (cleanse as in v. 39) instead of a similar dakkau (give alms).]; /give alms of KJ V (so all others in
this sense to render Gk phrase DIDOMI ELEHMOSNH);

11:42
But how terrible (shameless!) it would be to yo Pharisees!
Because yo pay one tenth [for a tithe]
a

even on mint and rue and every herb
but bypass the justice and the love of Elohim:
It is necessary to do these things;
yet not to neglect those other things.

11:43
How terrible (shameless!) it would be to yo Pharisees!
Because yo like very much the front seats in the synagogues
and the greetings in the marketplaces.
[11:43 //20:46]


11:44
How terrible (shameless!) it would be to yo,
{soferim, and Pharisees, hypocrites [full of religiosity]!}
Because yo are like the unmarked tombs
thus, people walk over them without noticing it!

11:45
And responding to this, one of the Torah sages says to him,

Teacher, when you say that,
it's not just the Pharisees you're bad mouthing,
but even us as well!

11:46
And he said,
All yo Torah sages
to yo as well how terrible (shameless!) it would be!
Because yo load
m
people with burdens hard to carry
and yo yourselves wont lift even a finger to help them

11:47
How terrible (shameless!) it would be to yo!
Because yo are building the tombs of the prophets
{Mt 23:29}

and it was yor fathers who killed them.
11:48
So then yo are witnesses of and approve what yor fathers did
because indeed they killed them
and it is yo who are building their tombs.

11:49
On this account also the Wisdom of Elohim
[=Yeshua Mt 23:34] [cf. 7:35]
said,
<I will send out to them prophets and messengers;
and they will kill some of them and persecute others>;
11:50
so that the blood of all the prophets,
which was shed since the foundation of the world,
will hold this generation responsible;
11:51
from the
a
blood of Abel
to the blood of Zekharyah,
who was cut down between the altar of burnt offering
a
11:42; 18:22 tithe [meaning one tenth that of whats gained from crops and herds was collected
from the people of eleven Tribes of Yisrael to support the Tribe of Levites who were charged with Temple
service but without their own land allotted.]

and the House of Adonai.
Yes, I say to yo,
this generation will be held responsible [for all of it].

11:52
How terrible (shameless!) it would be to yo, O Torah-sages!
Because yo have taken away the key to knowledge:
not only yo yourselves did not enter
but, those who were trying to enter yo also have stopped.

11:53
And as he was leaving from there
{/mss}a

the soferim and the Pharisees became very hostile,
plying him with a host of questions;
11:54
plotting against him, to catch him out on something he said,
{so that they could bring charges against him}.

Meanwhile, when thousands of the crowd had gathered together,
so that they were all treading one upon another,
he began to speak to his disciples,
First of all, yo be on guard yourselves
against the leavening

by this I mean their overly critical pedantic behavior!

Lk 12:2-9 {//Mt 10:26-33} Exhortation to fearless confession
12:2
Indeed,
-
there is nothing, however carefully concealed it may be,
that shall not be revealed;
or nothing carefully hidden away
that shall not be made known.
[12:2 //8:16]

12:3
Because whatever yo used to say in the darkness
shall be heard openly in the light,
and what yo used to whispered into each others ears inside a house
shall be proclaimed shouted out from the housetops.

12:4
And I say to yo, my friends,

12:1 leavening [not leavening agent as such here (i.e. sourdough 13:21), but leavening effect in
the process of baking bread flour mixed with water to make dough let it sit to get fermented to have dough
rise.]

<Do not become fearful because of those
who put the body to death,
but, after that, have nothing more they can do.>
12:5
No, I will point out to yo whom yo should be in fear:
Be yo in fear of the One
a
,
who, after putting to death, has power to throw yo
into the [place like] GeHinnom
b
[for destruction in fire].
[Mt 10:28]

Yes, I say to yo, this very One is whom you ought fear.

12:6
See, yo get five sparrows for two assarions.
Yet, not one of them is forgotten in the sight of Elohim.
12:7
But even the hairs on yor head have all been counted.
Therefore have no fear.
Yo are worth more than many sparrows.

12:8
I can tell yo then,
<Everyone who, [when challenged] before others,
c [cf. Mt 10:16]

acknowledges openly [that he belongs to] me,
the Son-of-man will also acknowledge him
will do so before the angels of Elohim:
12:9
But the one who, [when challenged] before others,
denies [that he belongs to] me,
will be denied before the angels of Elohim.>

Lk 12:13 -15 Warning against greed
12:13
And one of the crowd said to him,
Teacher, please tell my brother
to divide our inheritance with me.

12:14
But he said to him,
O man! Who has set me to play
a judge or an arbitrate between two of yo?

12:15
And he said to them,
Take my words:
keep yourselves away from covetousness {of every sort}:
It is that ones [true] life is not secured
by abundance of possessions one has no, not at all.

Parable of a rich fool
Lk 12:16-21 Parable of a ri ch fool
12:16
And he spoke a parable to them, saying
The land of a certain rich man
yielded bountiful harvest:
12:17
so he asked himself, saying
<What shall I do?
I have no place to store my crops.>

12:18
Then he said,
<This is what I should do:
Im going to take down my barns
and larger ones Ill build,
and there Ill store all the grain
and all my other good stuff.

12:19
And Im going to tell my [dear] soul,
<O my soul
You have now ample stock of good stuff
laid up [to last] many years to come;
Take life easy on you, now
yeah, eat, drink, enjoy yourself!>

12:20
But Elohim said to him,
<You utter fool This very night,
your very soul is going to be demanded of you,
As for the things which you have stocked up [so well]
to whom will then they end up?>

12:21
Thats how it goes for anyone
who is treasuring up for himself
yes, they are not rich at all in Gods sight,
[+ but foolish not to tap into the true riches from God,
wasting their lives away].

Lk 12:22-32 {//Mt 6:25-34} Anxious about earthly things
12:22
And Yeshua said to his disciples,
So then, I say to yo,
dont be anxious [to care] for yor own being
about where is the next meal coming from;
nor about yor body
over where yo can find something to put on.
12:23
Yor own being is more important than the food
and the body more than the clothes.
12:24
Consider the ravens,
that they do not sow, neither reap;
they have no storeroom nor barn,
and Elohim feeds them.
Of how much more value
are yo than the birds!
12:25
@
And which of yo by being anxious
can add a single bit to their
+
span of life?
12:26
If then yo are not able to do even what is least,
why are yo anxious about the rest?
12:27
Think about how the wild lilies grow:
they do not labor, neither do they spin [and weave];
yet I say to yo,
even Solomon in all his spledor was not dressed up
as well as one of these!
12:28
But if this is how Elohim does so clothe the grass in the field,
which is here today
and then tomorrow thrown into the furnace;
how much more will he clothe yo?
o yo with little faith
12:29
And as for yo, do not set yor hearts on things to eat or drink
[of mere subsistence however essential it may be],
and stop being worried and troubled.
12:30
Indeed, all such things are
what the nations of the world are eagerly pursuing:
but yo have a Father who knows that yo are in need of them.
12:31
Instead, yo keep seeking the Kingdomreign of Elohim
and all those things [yo are in need of] will be added on to yo.
12:32
Have no fear, o little flock,
because yor Father is delighted to give yo
the [life of the very] Kingdom.

Lk 12:23-34 {//Mt 6:19-21} (cf. Lk 16:9) Treasures in heaven

make for yourselves purses which do not wear out
a never-failing treasure in the heavens,
where no thief gets near, nor moth ruins.

Indeed, where yor hoard of treasure is,
yor heart will be there also.

Lk 12:35-40 {Mt 24:42-44}(cf. Mk 13:33-37) Watchful and faithful
12:35
Let yourselves be dressed up ready to serve [yor master]
and yor lamps burning;
12:36
and yo yourselves be like those waiting for their master
to return from the wedding feasts;
that, when he comes and knocks on,
they can at once open for him.
12:37
Blessed and better off are those servants,
if the master, upon returning, will find them keeping watchful:
Truly! I say to yo
that he will get dressed up himself [in servants clothes]
and invite them to recline at the meal
and will come alongside and serve them.
12:38
And whether the master comes in the second watch
or the third watch of the night,
a

if he still find them as prepared and ready,
blessed and better off are those {servants}!

12:39
((But know this [too]
that if the house-master had known
at what hour the bandit was to come,
he {would have stayed awake and}
a

Therefore yo also must be ready:

Faithful and worthless servants
Lk 12:41-48 {Mt 24:45-51} Faithful vs. worthless servants
12:41
And Kefa said to him,
Master, is it specifically for us

or is this meant for everyone?

12:42

And the Master said,
Who then really is the faithful and wise manager,
whom his master can choose to put over his attendants staff,
to give out their allowance of food supplies at the proper time?
12:43
Blessed and well off is that servant,
if his master, upon returning, find him doing so the right thing.
12:44
Truthfully, I say to yo that
he will put him in charge of everything he owns.

12:45
But if that servant thinks,
<my master must be taking time in his coming back>,
and gets on beating the men-servants and the maid-servants
and eating and drinking and gets drunken;
12:46
the master of that servant will come
on a day when he does not expect
and at a time when he does not know
and the master is going to cut him up in two
and send him to the same fate as the unfaithful ones.

12:47
And that servant,
who knows what his master wants
but does not get prepared,
nor follows what his master wants,
will be beaten up severely;
12:48
but he who does not know and does some wrong things
will be beaten up less severely.

Indeed, everyone to whomever much is given,
much will be demanded from him
and everyone to whom they entrust much,
they will ask even more from him.

Now there were some people
who came up at that time to tell Yeshua what happened to the Galileans
Pilate had them slaughtered
while they were slaughtering animals for sacrifice.
13:2
And answering, Yeshua said to them,
Do yo think that those Galileans turned out to be some sinners
in comprasion to all the Galileans,
because they happened to have suffered such things?
13:3
No way! I tell yo;
but, unless yo repent turning from yor sins,
yo will all die off as well.
13:4
Or what about those eighteen people,
who were killed when the tower in Siloam fell on them
do yo think that these turned out to be some debtors [as to God]

13:5
No way! I tell yo;
but, unless yo all repent and turn from yor sins,
yo will all die off as well.

And Yeshua told this parable;
A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard,
and he came looking for fruit on it but there wasnt any.
13:7
And he said to the man in charge of his vineyard,
a

<Look
for the last three years,

well and good;
but if not, you can cut it down.>

Healing a woman with hunchback
Lk 13:10-17 Healing a woman with hunchback on a shabbat
13:10
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues
on the shabbats.

13:11
And look there was a woman who had a spirit which held her
in a state of [crippling] infirmity for eighteen years,
and with her back bent over
she was unable to straighten herself up at all.

13:12
And when Yeshua saw her, he called her over and said to her,
My Dear woman you are freed from your infirmity!

13:13
And he laid his hands upon her
and instantly she got herself straightened up and gave glory to Elohim.

13:14
And the synagogue-president, being indignant
because it was on the shabbat that Yeshua had healed,
addressed to the crowd,
Six days are there
in which any work ought be done [as yo well know!]
So then, [only] on those days
come and be healed [if yo wish]
why on earth it has to be
on the very day of the shabbat [for Torahs sake]!

13:15
In reply to his remark, the Master said,
Yo pedantic hypocrites [full of religiosity]
Dont you, every single one of yo,
untie your ox or donkey from the stall
and lead it out to watering holes
even on the shabbat?!
13:16
And this woman yo see here
she is [very well, Sir,] a daughter of Abraham
the Satan has kept her bound,
look these eighteen long years!
Shouldnt she be freed from this bondage
[even] on the very day of the shabbat?

13:17
And as he said these things,
all his opponents became humiliated
but all the crowd rejoiced
for all the incredible things done by him.

And someone asked him,
Master, is it only few people who are going to be saved?

And he said to them,

[Many naively take these as something positive. However, reading both should be seen as a single thematic
unit because (1) leavening elsewhere in the Gospel to be something warned about (Lk 12:1; //Mt 16:6-12;
//Mk 8:15), and because (2) these are not separate from the preceding parable of effect of darn weeds. All
these allude to effect of Gods kingdom rein becoming corrupted by inconspicuous elements crept in.]

Di scourses at a meal:
14:1-14 (1) At a meal in a Pharisee
14:15-24 (2) The great banquet
14:25-35 (3) Counting the cost


(Luke 14)
Healing a man with dropsy
Lk 14:1-6 Heali ng a man wi th dropsy on a shabbat
14:1
And on an occasion Yeshua had gone to the house
of one of the leading Pharisees
on a shabbat day to partake in a meal.
There theguests present were all closely watching him.

14:2
And look, there right in front of him
was a certain man afflicted with dropsy!
14:3
Upon this, Yeshua let himself respond [in challenge]
and put this question to those Torah sages and Pharisees,
saying
Well, should it be allowed to do work of healing
on the shabbat or not?

14:4
On their part they remained mum, [wondering how to answer].
With that,
he took hold of the man and healed him, and let him go.

14:5
Then, turing to the others, he put another question to them,
Which one of yo,
if a

donkey
{/mss}
or an ox falls into a well,
[ Exo 21:33]

will not right away pull it up and out
[even] on the very day of the shabbat?

14:6
And they found themselves quite unable to reply to all these.

Teaching on humility
Lk 14:7-14 Teachi ng on humi li ty
14:7
And, he noticed how the guests had picked
a
13:35 Adonai /LORD; /x: the Lord most; [Yeshua Himself in Y H W Hs name.] [See BW]

the places of honor for themselves at the table,
so he went on to tell this parable to those who were invited:
14:8
When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast,
do not recline in the place of honor.
A person more important than you
may have been invited.

14:9
Then the host who invited both of you will come
and say to you,
<Give up your place to this person>,
and then youll start off embarrassed
to take the lowest place.

14:10
Instead, when you are invited,
go and recline in the lowest place.

Then, when the host comes, he will say to you,
<Dear friend, move over higher [to this place of honor], please,>
then, you will be honored
in the presence of all the other guests.

14:11
Because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,
and the one who humbles himself will be honored.

14:12
And he said also to his host,
When you have a dinner or a supper,
do not be calling just

your friends,
or your brethren, or your relatives, or rich neighbors;
lest they may perhaps also invite you in return
and it would become a paying off to you.
14:13
But when you spread a feast,
be inviting rather also by all means
the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14:14
and you will then be blessed;
because they have nothing with which to repay you:
indeed, you will be repaid
in the resurrection of the righteous ones.

Parable of the banquet
Lk 14:1524 Parable of the banquet
a

14:15
And one of the fellow guests heard this and said to Yeshua,
Blessed is the one who is to partake
of the feast in the Kingdom of Elohim!

14:16
But he said to him,
A certain man was spreading a banquet,
and he invited many:
a
14: 15-24 <Parable of a Great Banquet> (cf. Mt 22:1-14 Parable of a Royal Wedding Banquet)

14:17
and as the hour of supper coming he sent out his servant
to tell those who were invited,
<Come! Everything is ready now.>
14:18
And they all began to make excuses in unison.
The first said to him,
<Ive just bought some land,
and I have to go and see it;
I beg you to have me excused.>
14:19
And another said,
<I have bought five pair of oxen
and Im on my way to try them out;
I beg you to have me excused.>
14:20
And another said,
<Ive got a wife; we just got married;
So I really cant come.>
14:21
And that servant came back
and reported all this to his house-master.
Then the housemaster became angry and said to his servant,
<Hurry out into the broadways and lanes of the city
and bring in here the poor and maimed and lame and blind.>
14:22
After that happened, the servant said,
<Master, Ive done what you ordered,
but there is still some room.>
14:23
And the master said to the servant,
<Go out on to the streets and the fenced-in places
and urge and persuade them to come in;
I want my house to be filled.>
14:24
Indeed, I say to yo all, none of those guests
who were invited [but sadly declined to come]
will get from me a taste of this dinner.



14:25-35 Counti ng the cost

14:25-27 Cost of being a disciple
14:25
Now there went with him large crowds and he turned and said to them,
14:26
If anyone comes to join me,
yet refuses to put aside
a
and let go of
[cf. 12:53]

his own father and mother
and wife and little children and brothers and sisters,
and, yes, even the very self of his own,
he is not able to become my disciple.
14:27
And whoever does not bear ones [[own]] execution stake
b

to come after me,
a
14:26 put aside and let go of [Aramaic idiom; not hate]
b
14:27 execution stake />cross; [in a figurative sense (9:23). Prob. synecdoche for a cross-beam.]

is not possible to come to be my disciple.
[14:27 //14:33; 9:23]

14:28-33 Parable of fools
14:28
Suppose which one of yo,
who wants to build a tower,
would not first sit down and calculate the cost,
to see if he has enough to complete it?
14:29
Otherwise, when he has laid its foundation
and then, [running out of money], he is unable to finish,
everyone who sees it will poke fun at him,
14:30
saying <[There he goes!] This man did well begin to build;
see, now, unable to finish!>

14:31
Or what king, as he is going to engage another king in war,
will not first sit down
and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one
who is coming against him with twenty thousand?
14:32
Or else, while the other is still long way off,
he sends a delegation and asks the terms of peace.

14:33
In the same way, then,
not one of yo can come to be a disciple belonging to me
unless you dont let go of all
that you dearly hold as your own.
[cf. 9:62; 18:22. Cf. Mt 19:21; Mk 10:21]


14:34-35 Worthless rock salt
14:34
Now, as good as salt is,
but when the [lump of raw rock] salt has its salt stuff used up,
[Mt 5:13]

how shall it be made salty?
14:35
It is good neither for the soil nor for the manure pile:
they just threw it out.
The one who has ears to hear, let him hear.


Lost and found
15:1-7 A lost sheep
15:8-10 A lost coin
15:11-32 Two lost sons (Prodigal son)


(Luke 15)
15:3-7 Setting for parables
15:1
Now the turncoat tax-profiteers and outcast sinners
all kept flocking to Yeshua to hear him.
15:2
And the Pharisees and the soferim kept muttering,
saying:
This one! He welcomes outcast sinners
even having his meals with them! [How scandalous!]

A lost sheep
15:3-7 {//Mt 18:12-14} A lost sheep
15:3
So, in response, Yeshua spoke to them with this parable, saying;
15:4
If you have a hundred sheep
and lose one of them,
who among yo would not keep the ninety nine
behind in the field
and set out to look for the one which is lost,
until it is found?
15:5
And when found,
joyfully he puts it on his shoulders to carry back.
15:6
And upon returning home,
he calls his friends and his neighbors up together,
and says to them, <Rejoice with me,
because I have found my

sheep which was lost!

15:7
I say to yo that even so there will be joy in the heaven
over one sinner that repents to turn from sin,
more than over ninety nine righteous persons,
who have no need of repenting to turn from sin.

A lost coin
15:8-10 A lost coin
15:8
Or again, if a woman has ten silver coins,
and lose one of them,
isnt she going to light up a lamp and sweep the house
and look into every nooks and crannies carefully until she finds it?
15:9
And when she finds it,
she calls together her friends and her neighbors,
saying
<Rejoice with me,
now that Ive found the silver coin which I had lost.>

15:10
Even so, I say to yo,
there is joy in the presence of the angels of Elohim
over one sinner that repents and turns from sin.


Two lost sons
15:11-32 Two lost sons
15:11
Then, [for a final push to drive them to the point],
Yeshua brought out this final story:

There was a man who had two sons:
15:12
and the younger one came
and said to his father,
<Father . . .
[If you please] . . .
give me the share
#2
of what there is in our familys possession
that belongs to me [
+
. . . as it would come to after you die].>
So . . .
thefather divided up between them their means of living.

15:13
And not many days after this,
the younger son sold off all he had
and, [rejecting home] journeyed off
to a distant country,
and there he squandered all his wealth
in extravagant lifestyle.
15:14
And as he had spent everything,
there a severe famine fell upon that country,
and he began to find himself in need.
15:15
Thus he attached himself to work
for one of the citizens of that country
who sent him off to the fields to get on feeding swine.
15:16
And he wished if he could fill his hungry belly
even with such carob pods the swine were being fed on
it looked good to him!))
but no one gave anything he could fill.

15:17
But then coming to his senses,
he cried out,
<Wait, doesnt my father have quite a number of hired workers?
Why, they got food more than enough of it!
But here I am,
myself starving to death!

[+Let me see how I can make it:]
15:18
I will get up [on my feet] and should go to my father
and will say to him[something like this],
Father,

I have sinned against the heaven

a

and before you:
15:19
I am no longer worthy to be called your son.
[+Then, I will say ]
take me just like one of your hired men.>

15:20
Thus he set out for his fathers house.
But while he was still some distance off from home,
Look there, his father saw him!
And moved with pity.
and he ran down to his son
and hugged
and kissed and kissed on him.
15:21
And the son said to him,
a
15:18, 21 against the heaven [not sin against God but against Gods Law] [heaven =Heb. idiom
of what God stands for]

<Father
Ive sinned against the heaven and before you:
Im no longer worthy to be called your son

{mss}
>

15:22
But the father said to his servants,
<Quick!
Bring out a robe! the best one we have
and put it on him!
and put on him a [signet] ring
on his finger
and sandals on his [bare] feet:
15:23
and . . .
yes! bring the fattened prized calf and kill it
and lets eat and celebrate.
15:24
Because this son of mine was dead and is alive again
he was lost and is found!>
And they began to enjoy to celebrate.

15:25
Now his elder son was out in the field.
Then, as he was returning
when he came near the house,
he heard [something] of music and dancing.
15:26
And he called one of the young lads
and asked what was going on.
15:27
And the young lad said,
<He has come back your brother is back!
and your father has the fattened calf killed,
why, of course, he has got him safe and sound.>

15:28
But this older brother became so angry
that he refused himself to go in.
Thus his father came out
and pleaded with him [to join celebration].
15:29
But in reply he said to his father,
<Look
All these years I have been slaving for you
and I never once did disobey your order,
and yet to me you have never once give even a [scrawny] kid-goat
to enjoy [a dinner] with my friends.

15:30
But when this son of yours came,
who has devoured your livelihood
[gosh!] was it in the company of loose women?
you now had the fattened prized calf killed for him.>

15:31
Then this was the fathers relpy:
<My little child its you you are always with me,

|
and [you know] all that is mine is yours.
15:32
But how could we fail to
celebrate and not rejoice:
because this one, remember, your brother, was dead
but has now come to life,
and was lost
but is now found!>

And Yeshua also said to his disciples [in parable]

There was a certain man,
who was wealthy
b
and employed a manager:

Here, a report came to him about this manager
accusing of handling his assets wastefully.
16:2
So he called the manager in and said to him,
<What is all this I hear about you!?
Why dont you turn in the account in your management;
Its out of question that
you should remain my manager any longer;

16:3
At that the manager said to himself,
<What shall I do now?

c
is going to fire me from the manager-job!
Im not strong enough

some may kindly welcome me into their homes.>
[v. 9]


16:5
And calling to him each one of those
who owe his own superior,
the manager asked the first one,
<How much do you owe
a
my superior.>
16:6
And he said,
<One hundred bath-measures
b
of olive-oil.>

And the manager said to him,
<Here comes your written-agreement take it;
and sit down and quickly write over as fifty.

16:7
Then he said to another,

16:18 A case: divorce (//Mt 5:31-32)

Lk 16:14-15 Pharisees got reproved
16:14
And the Pharisees, who were fond lovers of money,
heard him say all this and scoffed at him.
16:15
Thus Yeshua said to them,

As for yo, yo are the ones
who try to make yourselves look righteous before men;
[Dont fool yourselves.]
Elohim, however, knows yor hearts:
because the very thing which is exalted among people
is [really] an abomination
a
in the sight of Elohim.

Lk 16:16 {//Mt 11:12-13} Gods reign being announced since Yohanan

Parable of a rich man and Lazarus
Lk 16:19-31 A rich man and Lazarus
16:19
@
{He also told another parable:}
[Cf. Mt 8:11-12]

Now there was a certain rich man
c

and he dressed in [garment of]
royal color purple and finest linen,
sumptuously enjoying himself every day.

16:20
There a certain poor man named Lazarus [=Eleazer, God is helper]
got thrown down
at the gate of this rich mans [house]
16:21
being covered with sores [all over the body].
(16:21)
And he wished even to get enough of whatever {crumbs}
falling from the table of that rich man.
Yea, even the [scavenger] dogs would lick his sores,
coming [after the scraps].

16:22
Well, it so came about that the poor one died
and that he was carried off by the angels
to the bosom position by the side of Abraham.
In turn, the rich man also died and was buried.

17:20-37 The Day of the Son-of-man

(Luke 17)
Stumbling-blocks
Lk 17:1-3a {//Mt 18:6-7; //Mk 9:42} Stumbling-blocks
17:1
And he said to his disciples,

It is unavoidable that
there should be the stumbling-blocks;
but how terrible it would be
to anyone who is accountable for such things gets in!
17:2
It would be better off for such person
if a [big] millstone were hung around his neck
and he were hurled into the sea
than for him to cause
one of these little ones to stumble
17:3
Keep yourselves guarded!

On forgiveness
Lk 17:3b-4 (cf. Mt 18:15, 21-22) On forgiveness
and if your fellow brother does something wrong
b
{against you},
bring out his wrongs for him to see and correct,
and if he comes to repent and turn from his wrongdoings,
forgive him.
c

17:4
And if seven times a day
he does something wrong against you
and seven times he comes back to you,
saying <You see, here I repent and turn from my wrongdoings,
you shall forgive him.

Mustard seed faith
Lk 17:5-6 {//Mt 17:20-21}(cf. Mt 21:21 //Mk 11:23) (cf. Lk 13:6-9) Faith small as a mustard seed

17:5
And those who were sent out by Yeshua said to the Master,
Please add on to us faith in God.

16:31 from out of dead ones (Gk. ek nekrn)
b
17:3 do something wrong /sin; [In Aramaic debt =sin]
c
17:3 repent ~ forgive [See 3:3]
d
17:5-6 <Faith small as a mustard seed> [aphorism: faith small as a mustard seed not growing faith
(cf. Parable of Planting a Mustard Seed Lk 13:18-19; //Mt 13:31-32)] [Background of their request was not
in Lk; Mt 17:20 gives it as the disciples failure in exorcism. See Mt 17:20 fn] [cf. nothing is impossible
those who believe]


17:6
And the Master said,
If yo have faith in God
this much as a mustard seed,
yo would in that case say to this black mulberry tree,
<Be uprooted and planted in the sea>,
and it would have obeyed yo.

We are just servants
Lk 17:7-10 {//Mt 17:20-21} We are just servants
17:7
But with a servant plowing or tending flock,
would any of yo say to him,
when he returns after work from the field,
<Come here right away and recline at the meal.>?
17:8
Surely youd rather say,
<Get something ready for me to have my dinner,
and put on an apron and serve me
while I eat and drink,
and afterwards you may eat and drink>
17:9
He does not have to be thankful to the servant
for carrying out the orders, does he? {I think not.}
17:10
In the same way yo too
when yo have done everything yo

were told to do,
should say,
<We are just servants, ordinary ones;
what we have done is what we ought to do.>

Cleansing ten lepers
Lk 17:11-19 Cleansi ng ten lepers

Now it so came about that
it was on their journey to Yerusalem.
Yeshua on his part was passing through the region [+]
a

between SAMARIA and GALILEE.

17:12
And as he entered into a certain village,
ten leprous
m
men met him there
they kept themselves afar-off:
17:13
and they shouted out, saying
Yeshua
O Chief Have pity on us!

17:14
And when he saw them, he said to them,
Go and show yourselves to the kohanim.

[They went off.] And it so came about
as they were going [on the way], they were cleansed.

17:15
And one of them,
having seen that he was healed,
returned
glorifying Elohim with a loud voice,
17:16
and he fell upon his face at Yeshuas feet,
giving him thanks.

((And this one as [even] a Samaritan!))

17:17
And in reply Yeshua asked, saying
Werent there all ten of them cleansed?
But where were the nine?
17:18
Why is it that no one has returned to give glory to Elohim
except this man of other nation?

17:19
And he said to the man
h
,
Arise and go your way:
as you have trusted you are made well.

17:20-37 The Day of The Son-of-man

Gods reign with Yeshua Himself
Lk 17:20-21 Coming of Gods Reign with Yeshua Himself
17:20
Now, having been questioned by the Pharisees
about when the Kingdom reign of Elohim would come,
he answered them and said,
No way the Kingdomreign of Elohim comes
along with something observable to watch for;
17:21
Neither can people say,
<Look, hereit is!>Or, <There, it is!>
Look indeed, the very Kingdomreign of Elohim [has come] is
present [right here] in the midst of yo.
a[cf. 11:20]


The Day of the Son-of-man
Lk 17:22-37 {//Mt 24:23-28, 37-41} The Day of the Son-of-man
17:22
And he said to the disciples,
Time will come when yo will be longing to see
a single piece of the days of this Son-of-man
but yo will not witness one such day.
17:23
And people will say to yo,
<Look, over here!><Look, there!>
Do not go out nor run after them.
17:24
Indeed, just as the lightning,
which flashes from the one end of the sky,
shines to the other end;
so will the Son-of-man be {in his day}.

17:25
But first he must undergo many [difficult] things
and be rejected by people of this generation.

17:26
And just as it occurred in the days of Noah,
so will it be also in the days of the Son-of-man.
17:27
They were eating and drinking,
marrying and being given in marriage.
until the [very] day that Noah entered into the ark
and the flood came
and destroyed them all there [+]
b
.
17:28
Likewise just as it occurred in the days of Lot;
they were eating and drinking;
buying and selling;
planting and building.
17:29
but the very day that Lot escaped and left Sodom
fire and brimstone rained down from heaven
a
17:21 in the midst of ~ you [i.e. with His presence. See 10:10-11; 11:20; 21:31]; /x: within KJ V;
/xx: in your mind;
b
17:27 all there [+] [+ in the land where the flood came]

and destroyed them all there [+]
a
.
17:30
The same way
it will be on the day that the Son-of-man is to be revealed.
17:31
On that day,
no one who is on the housetop should go down
to get their possessions from inside the house,
Likewise no one out in the field should go back for anything
17:32
remember [what happened to] Lot's wife!
[Gen 19:26]


17:33
Whoever tries to keep his own being
b
will lose it:
but whoever loses it will preserve it alive.
17:34
And I say to yo this:
in that very night if two people are to be sharing a couch,
the one will be taken and the other will be left.
17:35
Two women will be together grinding flour [+]
c
,
one will be taken and the other will be left.
17:36
{Two are to be at work in the field,
one will be taken and the other will be left.}

17:37
And they responded, saying to him,
Where[will this happen], Master?

And he said to them,
Where the [dead] body is,
the eagles also will be there gathered together.




Par ables on pr ayer :
18:1-8 (1) The worldly judge
18:9-14 (2) The Pharisee and the tax-profiteer


(Luke 18)
A widow and a worldy judge (11:5-8)
Lk 18:1-8 Parable of a Widow and the worldy judge
18:1
And Yeshua told a parable to show them
that they ought be always praying and never get discouraged;
18:2
saying
A certain judge was there in a city,
who didnt have fear for Elohim and nor any regard for people.
18:3
There was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him,
saying <Please grant me justice against my adversary.>

a
17:27 all there [+] [+ remaining in their land].
b
17:33 own being /soul; /life
c
17:35 flour [+] [+ with a hand-mill] [Mt 24:41]

18:4
And for a while he simply refused:
But later he said with himself,
<True enough, I dont have fear for Elohim,
nor any regard for people;
18:5
yet because this widow keeps on bothering me,
I will grant justice to her,
otherwise, she is going to keep coming to me
till she wears me out with constant pleas.>

18:6
Then the Master said,
Hear what this judge living in the unrighteous
a
world
is saying here [in this parable].
18:7
Certainly then,
shall not Elohim see justice done
[J er 11:20]

for the behalf of His chosen ones,
when they cry out to Him day and night?
He will not delay,
18:8
Im telling yo,
in seeing justice donefor their behalf speedily.

Yet, when He comes,
will the Son-of-man really find
that kind of such persevering faith [in God]
b

here on earth at all?

A Pharisee and a tax-profiteer
Lk 18:9-14 Parable of a Pharisee and a tax-profiteer
18:9
There Yeshua addressed {also} to some people
who were convinced in ther own minds that they were righteous
#
,
looking down on everyone else
telling this parable:

18:10
Two men went up into the Temple court to pray;
one was a Pharisee and the other a tax-profiteer.
18:11
@
The Pharisee, having stood apart by himself, prayed like this:
<O Elohim, thank you that I am not like the other people
extortioners, dishonest ones, adulterers
nor even like that tax-profiteer [over there].
18:12
You see, [fulfilling obligation to you,]
Im being scrupulous to keep fastings twice a week;
and to pay one tenth
c
[even] on all things Id acquire.>

18:13
But the tax-profiteer, standing off at a distance,
would not even dare to look up to the heaven,
a
18:6 (judge) in the unrighteous world [i.e. judge in the secular world; not unjust wicked
unrighteous judge.]
b
18:8 faith in God [not faith in God who exists with power and authority, it is faith on who God is
putting ones total trust in the God who is love and that all springs from His love.]
c
18:12 one tenth /tithe; [See 11:42 fn]

but beating on his chest, saying
<O Elohim, please be merciful to me;
such an outcast sinner Im!>

18:14
I tell yo, it is this man that went off home
having been proved righteous instead of the other!
See that everyone who exalts himself shall get humbled;
but one who humbles himself shall get exalted.

How is it that you call me good?
None is there [being] good, except one, the very Elohim.

Why, these commandments are what you have known:
<

You shall not commit adultery,

You shall not take others life,
d

You shall not take others possession,
e

You shall not falsely testify,
Honor your father and mother.>

18:21
And he said,
[+]
f
All these things I have carefully guarded them already
[ever] since I was a young man!

18:22
And when Yeshua heard it, he said to him,
[Is that so!]
Yet, one thing is lacking with you:
All that you may have
sell and give it out to the poor
[cf. 12:33]

surely youll then have treasure in heaven [+]

Now it so came about, as he was getting near to Yericho,
a certain blind man sat begging by the roadside:
18:36
and hearing a crowd moving by,
he asked what was all about.
18:37
And they told him,
Yeshua the Nazorean is passing by.

18:38
So he cried out, saying
Yeshua Son of David!
Have pity on me!

18:39
And those who were leading the way
rebuked him to be quiet,
but all the louder he cried out,
Its yoo --- u! Son of David!
Have pity on me!

18:40
Now, this made Yeshua stop
and he order them to bring him over.
and when the blind man got near, Yeshua asked him,
18:41
What would you have me to do for you?

And he said,
O Master Make me be able to see again.

18:42
And Yeshua said to him,
Receive your sight! You can see now!
You have put your trust in me, so are you made whole.

And right away he could see again

There Zacchaeus had been eager to take a close look at Yeshua

However, [he knew] he was not tall enough

And [this, he managed to make it:] he ran ahead
and climbed up on a fig-mulberry tree

you see, Yeshua was about to pass through that way!

And when Yeshua came to the place, he looked up to him and said,
Why, Zacchaeus
Hurry and come down;
Indeed, this very day
I must stay in your house.

19:6
And hurriedly off he came down
and joyfully welcomed him as guest.
19:7
And when people saw it,
they all began muttering,
[God forbid], it is just with an outcast sinner

19:8
And as for Zacchaeus
he stood there before the Master,
and this is what he said to him:
See!
Half of my belongings, Master,
yes, to the poor I am going to give it

I should give back

four times as much.

Parable of ten pounds of silver money

19:11
And as they heard these things,
he proceeded to add and spoke a parable,
because of his being near to Yerusalem
and because of their thinking that at any moment
theKingdom reign of Elohim was about to show up [+]
a
.

19:12
Thus he told them,
There once was a certain man of noble status
who was about to go to a distant country [in power],
to get himself a royal title and then to return home
[to yield power over people in his allocated territory].

19:13
[This is how it went]: [upon leaving]
he called ten servants of his
and distributed among them
b

a sum of ten pounds
c
of silver money one pound to each,
and said to them,
<Put this money to work for me until I come.>

19:14
((As for the people living under his rule, however,
they had no love for him at all
and had a delegation sent, right on his heels,
to say <We do not want that this man as our king.>))
[v.27]


19:15
And it came to pass, when he returned,
having received the royal title,
that he summoned these servants,
to whom he had given the silver money,
to find out how each come out by putting it to work.

19:16
Thus, the first one made his appearance, saying
<Sir, your mina has increased

to ten pounds!>

Look
the Satan has demanded for himself to put all of yo to test

22:32
But as for you, Shimon, I myself have made supplication

And he said to them,
But now, the one who has a money bag,
let him take it along and,
likewise, take a food pouch too,
and let the one who does not have a sword,

Kefa wept

Then Pilate asked him, saying
Is it you who are the King of the J ews

And he answered him and said,
You, youre saying it.

23:4
And Pilate said to the chief kohanim and the crowds,

a
Nothing of any ground for charge I can find in this

But they were insistent, saying
He stirs up the people by teaching throughout all J udea;

Yeshua taken to Herod Antipas

On hearing it, Pilate asked if the man really was a Galilean.
23:7
And having discovered that
he is from the jurisdiction of Herod Antipas,

[+]
b

he sent him back to Herod, who was himself also in Yerusalem
in these days [for the season]

23:8
Now Herod on his part was very delighted to see Yeshua
because, [+]
c
having heard of him,
he had long been hoping to see him.
And he was hoping [out of curiosity] to witness
some signs performed by him.
23:9
And he questioned him in many words;
but he answered him nothing.
23:10
And [stepping forward and] standing-by
were the chief kohanim and the soferim,
there fiercely bringing accusations against him.
23:11
And after having treated him with contempt,
Herod, together with his troop of guards,
mocked him by putting on him in gorgeous robe

And Pilate summoned [at his his Judgment Hall]

Yo have brought this man before to my hearing

I, in the presence of yo,

No, neither did Herod find so

that Herod has sent him back to us

and look

b
nothing deserving death has been committed by him.
[23:22]

23:16

{((Then, he had to release
one prisoner to them at the Festival.))}

23:18
But together with the whole multitude they shouted, saying
Get rid of that one!
No, release to us BarAbbas!

23:19
((This man, BarAbbas had been thrown into prison
for a certain rising-up in the City
and killing [+ those ollaborating with Roman power].))

23:20
And Pilate called out to them again,
for he wanted to release Yeshua.

Then they called out, saying
Crucify! Crucify him!

23:15 Herod has sent Him back to us{/mss} {/I (Pilate) sent yo to him (Herod)} KJ V++;

23:22
And he said to them the third time [to free him],
Why?
What wrong [for capital crime] has this one committed?

c
Nothing of any ground for charge
I have found to fit death penalty in him.
Therefore, I shall have him taught well with a punishment,
[//23:16]

and then release him.

23:23
@
They, however, kept insistent,
demanding with loud shouts that him be crucified.
And the shouts from them {and the chief kohanim}
began to win out.

Lk 23:24-25 {//Mt +27:24-26; //Mk +15:15; //Jn 19:16} Pi lates sentenci ng
23:24
So Pilate pronounced his final verdict
that their demand should be granted.
23:25
Then he released the man they asked for
the very one who had been put in prison for insurrection and murder;
but as for Yeshua he delivered him [to be crucified],
finally giving in to their desire.

{and some others to come along with them}.
The women found the tomb empty
24:2
There, they found the heavy stone-slab already moved away
off the entrance of the memorial-tomb!
24:3
And when they entered in
they did not find the body {of the Lord Yeshua}!
The women encounter at the tomb
24:4
And it so came about,
while they were perplexed about this,
look there, two [+]
e
men
[v. 23]

appeared and stood by them in bright clothes [+]
f
!
24:5
And as the women became frightened
and bowed down with their faces to the ground,
the two said to them,
Why are yo looking for the very living One
here among the dead ones [buried here]?

{Hes not here
no, he has risen [to Life].}

24:7
saying <The Son-of-man must be delivered up
into the hands of men, men of sinners
and be crucified
and on the third day riseup [to Life]>?


24:8
Then the women recalled [to their mind] what he had said before.

The women report to the disciples
24:9
And returned from the memorial-tomb
and reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.
24:10
It was Mariam the Magdalene,
and Yohanah
a
,
[8:3]

and Mariam the mother of Yaakob;
and there were other women with them
who were telling these things to the apostles.
24:11
But the womens story struck them
as sheer imagination
and the apostles would not let themselves believe
what these women told.


Kefa went to the tomb
24:12

{
Then, Kefa
[cf. v. 24]
on his part got up and ran to the memorial-tomb,
and stooping, he peered in,
he is now looking at the burial linen cloth only {lying} alone!
Then he went off,
wondering what on earth had happened.

Two disciples on the Emmaus road
24:13-35 Emmaus Road
24:13
And, look on that very day
two among them the followers were going on their way
[+homebound] to avillage called Emmaus
a
24:10 Yohanah (=8:3); /Yochanah; /Joanna

seven and half miles
a
[NWW] from Yerusalem.
24:14
And they were talking to each other
about all these things which had lately happened.

24:15
And it so came about,
while they were talking and discussing [on these things],
that Yeshua himself approached
and began to walk alongside with them.

24:16
((But their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.))

24:17
And he said to them,
What are yo debating so intently as yo walk along?

so they stopped, showing a downcast look
{/mss}
.

24:18
And one of them by the name of Cleopas
b
answered him,
Saying You certainly must be the only visitor
among pilgrims staying in Yerusalem
who does not know about anything happened there
in these [tumultuous] days!

24:19
And he said to them,
what might that be?

And they said to him,
The things about Yeshua the Nazarene!
A
m
man who proved to be a prophet
mighty in works and word
before Elohim and all the people:
24:20
and how our chief kohanim and rulers delivered him up
to be condemned to death and had him crucified.
24:21
But as for us, we had kept our confident hope that
it was he who was theOne destined to set Yisrael free.
Yes, {and} besides, all these things
{today} it brings now to this third day [Abib 17 afternoon]
since these things happened
c
.

24:22
Moreover,
some women from among us astonished us
They had been on early [in the morning] at the memorial-tomb,
24:23
but, did not find his body there.
Having returned alright, but here, they said that
they had even seen a vision of angels
who told them <he lives!>.
a
24:18 seven and half miles \sixty stadia; {/mss} one hundred sixty stadia;
b
24:18 Cleopas [The two disciples are very likely man and wife. If Cleopas is the person same as Clopas
(J n 19:25), then his wife Mariam had been one of the group of women at the cross.]
c
24:21 these things [refer to His Crucifixion, Death, Burial on Abib 14]

24:24
Then, some
[Cf. Kefa in v. 12]
of those who were with us
went off to the memorial-tomb
and found it just as the women had said,
but him they did not see there.

24:25
And he said to them,
So hard for you to understand!
so slow to believefirmly in heart
all that the prophets have spoken!
24:26
Was it not necessary for the very Messiah
to undergo and suffer these things
and to enter into his glory?

24:27
And beginning from [the Law of] Moshe
and from all the [Books of] Prophets,
he explained to them
the things concerning himself in all the Tanakh Scriptures.

24:28
As they came close to the village where they were headed for,
Yeshua, on his part, gave impression that he was going farther.

24:29
And they pressured him, saying
Please do stay with us!
because it is {already} toward evening
and the day is now almost over.

So he went in to stay with them.
24:30
And it so came about,
when he had reclined with them at the meal,
he took the loaf of bread and gave blessed words for it,
and, broke
a
it and gave to them.

24:31
There, on their part, suddenly
#1
the eyes became open
and came to recognize him;
then he on his part became invisible to them!

24:32
And they said to one another,
<Was not our heart dull {within us},
while he was speaking to us on the road,
as he was opening up [the meaning of] the Tanakh Scriptures
to our understanding?


24:33
So the two got up at once,
returned to Yerusalem.
a
24:30 broke [break bread Hebrew idiom; as in 22:19; Also in Act 2:43; 20:7 which does not
refer to the Lords Supper]

and found all together gathered,
the Eleven and those who were with them,
24:34
and learned from their saying
<the Master is truly risen [to Life]
and has shown himself to Shimon!>

24:35
Upon this, the two related
#1
their own story of
what had happened to them on the road
and how they became to recognize him
by his breaking of the bread.

The Lord to the disciples
24:36-43 (cf. Jn 20:19, 27; 21:10, 13) The Lord to the di sci ples
24:36
And as they were talking about these things,
Yeshua himself appeared and stood right there in their midst
{and says to them, Shalom to yo!}

24:37
But it startled them, there, having become fearful,
they thought they were seeing [something of] a spirit.
24:38
And he said to them,
Why are yo troubled?
And why do doubts arise in yor thinking?
24:39
See

my hands and my feet,

a{

Ps 22:16}
that it's really me!
Touch me and see;
[cf. J n 20:27]

because a [mere] spirit does not have flesh and bones,
like yo see that I have.

24:40
{And when he had said this,
he showed them his hands and his feet.}


24:41-43 (cf. Jn 21:10, 13) Eati ng fi sh
24:41
And as they still could not
believe [with their eyes] being so full of joy
and stood there dumbfounded,
he said to them,
Do yo have something good to eat here?

24:42
So they gave a piece of broiled fish to him
[cf. J n 21:9-10, 13]

{and some of honeycomb}.
24:43
And he took and ate it before their eyes.


a
24:39 my hands and my feet (v. 40 v.l. his hands and his feet);[inclusive of wrists and ankles] [Only

24:44
And he said to them,
These are my words which I spoke to yo,
while I was still with yo:
that it is necessary for all the things to be fulfilled,
which are written about me
in the Law of Moshe and the books of Prophets and the Psalms.

24:45
Then he opened up their mind
so that they could understand the Tanakh Scriptures;
24:46
and he said to them,
thus it has been written [in the Scriptures]
that the very Messiah must suffer
and rise up from out of dead ones
b
on the third day;
24:47
and that, on the basis of his name,
will be preached a [call for] repentance of turning from sins,
a change to lead into receiving forgiveness of sins
to all the nations, beginning from Yerusalem.
24:48
As for yourselves,
yo are witnesses of these things.
24:49
And look I on my part am sending forth

Yo, though, are to remain in the City {of Yerusalem}

From the Second Book by Luke:

The Acts of the Holy Spirit
through the Apostles


Acts 1:1-14

(Acts 1)
1:1-2 Introduction
1:1
The first narrative account I produced,
my dear Theophilus,
concerned itself with everything Yeshua set out to do and to teach,
1:2
until the day that he was taken up [into the heaven],
[v.11; cf. Lk 24:51]

after having given his orders through holy spirit
[Lk 24:49]

to the apostles whom he had chosen.

1:3-8 Holy Spirit promised
1:3
It was to these apostles that he also presented himself
by many irrefutable proofs
as the living One [having been raised to Life]
after his suffering [unto death],
appearing to them over a period of forty days
[

Act 1:15a

2:1]

and telling the things concerning the Kingdom reign of Elohim.

1:4
And, while being together with them,
he ordered them not to leave Yerusalem
but remain there and
Wait for what Father has promised to be fulfilled
about which yo all have heard from me:
[

Lk 24:49; J n 14:16; 20:22, 26]

1:5
Yohanan, as I told yo, indeed did immerse [people] in water;
but [now] as for yo all
it is in holy spirit that yo shall be immersed
not many days from now.
[

Act 2:4, 38]

1:6
So, when they had come together,
they began to ask him,
saying
Lord! Is it at this time
you are to restore the kingdom to Yisrael?

1:7
And he said to them,
It is not yors to know dates and times,
which the Father has set by His own authority.
1:8
But yo shall receive power,
when the [promised] holy spirit comes upon yo
and yo shall be witnesses of me
{/mss}

both [here] in Yerusalem as well as in all J udea
[Cf. Rev 11:3]

and Samaria
and to the outermost parts of the inhabited-land.

1:9-11 Ascension
1:9
And after Yeshua had spoken these words,
he was lifted up, as they were looking,
and a cloud caught him out of their sight.
1:10
And while they were looking on into the heaven
as he was on his way up,
look two
m
men stood by them dressed in white;
1:11
who said,
<Yo Galileans!
why are yo standing here, looking on into the sky?
This very Yeshua, who has been taken up from yo into the heaven,
so shall also come just as the sure fact
as yo have seen his going up into the heaven.>


1:12-14 Apostles gathered in the upstairs room
1:12
Then they returned to Yerusalem
from a mountain called the Mount of Olive-grove
which is near Yerusalem [to east]
at a distance within the bound of a shabbat day's journey.
1:13
@
And when they entered, they went up into the room upstairs,
where they had been staying;
They were

Kefa
a

and Yohan
and Yaakob
and Andrew;


Philip and
Thomas,
Barthlomew and
Matthew,


Yaakob the son of Alphaeus and
Shimon the Zealot;
and Yudah the son of Yaakob.


1:14
All these were devoted to their prayer in one mind
together with some women, also Mariam the mother of Yeshua
and together with Yeshuas brothers [
+
including Yaakob].
