Luke 1-12
2
Context
  • Written ca. 80-90 CE
  • Much common material with gospels of Mark and
    Matthew (the Synoptic gospels)
  • But has a distinctive point of view
  • Most Gentile, universal of the gospels
  • Longest infancy narrative
  • Strong focus on the poor and the outcast
  • Most references to women in Jesus ministry

Infancy narrative ch. 1-2
  • Focus on historical location
  • Not written by a companion of Jesus
  • Draws on Israels history
  • John the Baptist as prophet
  • Marys song like Hannahs in 2 Samuel 2
  • Jesus born in King Davids city, Bethlehem
  • Highlights Jesus miraculous origin
  • Perceived by both the lowly and the mighty

Jesus Ministry
  • Begins with reading in the synagogue (ch. 4)
  • Main theme of his ministry
  • Why was this so provocative?
  • Does this foreshadow Jesus deeds?
  • Healings
  • Exorcisms
  • Others?

5
Sermon on the Plain
  • Sounds like similar sermon on the mount in
    Matthew 5-7
  • But, has major differences
  • Not spiritualized
  • Has woes
  • How is this good news?
  • Is Jesus ministry for everyone?

6
Parables
  • Many are unique to Luke (ex Good Samaritan, ch.
    10 Prodigal Son, ch. 15)
  • Genre of the parable
  • Realistic story (not myth)
  • Clear, applicable message
  • Usually turns expectations upside down
  • Commonly used by ancient rabbis
  • What is the message of Jesus parables?

For next time Luke 13-24
  • Focus ch. 15 parables
  • Passion narrative ch. 22-23
  • Resurrection narrative ch. 24
  • How and when is Jesus present to his disciples?
    What is unusual about these appearances?
