Peter’s declaration about jesus

Answer 11

9.18-20
turning point
structurally setting up for transfiguration sandwich 
reappearance of elijah
messiah (peter) faulty for Jesus

9.21-27
LTJ 2/3 passion predictions mentioned in 9
- 3rd mentioned in 18 also in geo structure

moses= law
elijah= prophet
neither had face to face

geo turning point
basic rhythm of T
why are the disciples wrong if in 10.13-15 Jesus condemns a town for rejecting him (after showing miracle)
- because he had not yet reached jerusalem

Question 17

the would be followers of jesus

Answer 17

9.57-62
closely linked to 9.18-27
cost of following jesus= daily taking cross

discipleship involves to forego the hope of worldly resources, willingness to reconsider socially important prioritites, disregard even good things like friends

Question 18

luke 15 context

Answer 18

only synoptic para 1-7 w/Matt 18
- did lk us M/M or M/M use luke??

rich portrayal of the complex messaih w/ lostness

local context: structure
balance: male (sheep) female (coin)
- broader patter
birth prophecies: songs of zechariah and mary
healing of the servant centurion/widow son

Question 19

luke 15 contribution

Answer 19

disenfranchised: male and female balance
continuation: OT reg cleanliness, dishonour of son, working for gentile, ezekial shepherd ref
reversal: lost are found, younger son willing to be a servant/ older feels like a servant
christology: king-servant messiah seeks
soteriology: cost of seeking (coin)
ethics/ethnic: gentile (young) jew (older) Xcyril

Question 20

the parable of the lost sheep

Answer 20

15.1-7
need for messiah
jesus responds to scribes and pharisee about his association with sinners
wilderness- reckless? x: grassland/pasture

real life scenario: intuitive/right
sheep not sinners: no moral accountability and contamination
sheeps inherently valued
jesus is not worried about sinners contaminting him= other-wordly

shepherd’s reaction is diametrically opposed to P/S reactions

shares joy with friends
- rep in next parable
jesus’ understanding of heavenly society
- P/S at a distance from heavenly world-view

Question 21

the parable of the lost coin

Answer 21

15.8-10
coin=intuive: no moral accountability/ contamination
difficult nature of search
- lamp= expense/duration after dark
- sweeping= dedication
- carefully

shared joy
religious elite do not share Jesus’ view

Question 22

the parable of the prodigal son and his brother

Answer 22

most sig/influential in global literature
belongs with preceding of sheep and coin
but devs moral issue
- no common consensus: grave social sin of aksing for inheritance (implying you wish your father to be dead)

no search for son
father waits for him to ‘come to his senses’
- father looks for older son

= rep gentile (younger) and jew (israel older) relationship with god?
social outcasts/sinners generally come looking for jesus and Jesus be healing them is actively seeking them

rejoicing dynamic is present
- acknowledgement of guilt heard but not renunciation of sonship
LTS ‘we had to celebrate and rejoice’
- for luke the recognition of humna need is greater than the law

register shift to personal relationships

older son does not want to be contaminated

• sends servants to see what is happening
• ’ you may be happy to call him son but I am not happy to call him brother’

by alligning himself with the father, Jesus is radically critiquing contemporary ethics

younger vs older son

• gnostic/valentinian: human vs angels (who are jealous of humans redemption by God
• early church: gentile (sin= idolatry) vs jew (sin= hard heart)
• • X cyril: older brother kept all commandments

Question 23

luke 16 context

Answer 23

largely independent from M/M
apart 16.13 and 16.17
- matt: impossibility of serving two masters is free standing
- in luke: it is the conclusion of the dishonest manager parable

parallel to sermon on the mount in matt

structure/local context
- superficially united by engagement with the subject of wealth

Question 24

luke 16 contribution

Answer 24

disenfranchised: poor
continuation: OT
- 16.14-18 law’s authority?
- 16.18 divorce harsher than OT law
- 16.29 Abraham
good news: rich man wants to warn brother
reversal: rich man and lazarus
ethics: divorce

Question 25

the parable of the dishonest manager

Answer 25

16.1-13 use of morally ambiguous character is not untypical of luke (parable of friend woken at midnight lk11) 'then'- same temporal time frame? but dif audience of 'disciple' vs previous 'P/S' greek: then= 'and' (jesus simply takes disciples to one side?) surprise: master's happy reaction - he rates the insight into the man's heart greater than money manager acted 'prudently/shrewdly' vs b4 'squandered' v. 8-9 distinction between life in this world and eternal life in the world to come - 'the children of this age'= ppl who live w/o knowledge of the coming age vs children of the light friends by dishonest wealth - investing resources at your disposal in those who will be inhabitants and influences in the age to come esp least/lost - affirmed by lazarus/rich man ! controversial: rewards in heaven for actions on earth.. God as debt reducer (lost son parable) true riches? synoptic ref masters= god and wealth the manager's master is wealth because his horizons are limited to his age vs Jesus

Question 26

The law and the kingdom of God

Answer 26

16.14-18 teaching of foregoing parable applied to pharisees - living within the intellectual framework of 'this age' Jesus feels he needs to clarify that he is not agaisnt the law - his problem: their actions/attitudes are shaped by a wordview whose assumptions are constrained by here/now divorce: LTJ articulates a standard harsher than the law (OT) - he is more committed to the ongoing relevance of the law than his opponents

Question 27

the rich man and lazarus

Answer 27

16.16-31 w/background info parable is v well crafted - if the parable of the dishonest manager highlighted the difference between living under the rubric of the current age or the coming age - the parable of the rich and and lazarus graphically spells the difference out -- no thought beyond end of physical life= eternal consequences 'bosom of Abraham'= intimacy rags to riches for Lazarus rich man= shrewd manager? reversal: who needs whose help? abraham= moral accountability - impossibility of going back - rich man's appeal to Abraham is contextualised by John the baptist's remarks about insufficiency of simply claiming abraham as father and the necessity of bringing forth works in keeping with repentance allusion to Jesus' death - 'neither will they be convinced even if someone from the dead rises'

Question 28

Luke 22 context

Answer 28

Lk journey ends with 'triumphant' entry ch19 prepared us jesus self-conscientious identificiation synoptic parallel:last supper/crow prophecy - lk intro/meal prep= mk - unique: jesus speech b4 meal/ satan (judas/peter) - omits Mk intro to betrayal/soldier weapons - dispute about greatness (

Question 29

Luke 22 contribution

Answer 29

continuation: - 'new covenant in my blood' Jeremiah - 12 disciples as judges for 12 tribes of Israel - 'take this cup from me' jer= cov - - pop culture: dumbledore reversal: servant leadership- passing cup Hellenistic tone: death of philosopher grief for disciples not jesus soteriology: eucharistic celebration

Question 30

Jesus predicts Peter's denial

Answer 30

31-34 satan mk- peter is accused of being satan by jesus satan in lk 4- jesus affirmed his identity x3 vs Peter denies x3 'all of you': emph of testing for all disciples peter's 'return'= conversion

Question 31

purse bag and sword

Answer 31

35-38 rev of lk 9.3 (original instruction) Jesus rhetorical Q recalls the sufficiency of God's provision LTJ: original instruction was to facilitate assessment of the household they were to enter but here they will not be welcomed Isaiah 53.2 'trangressors' ref - disciples need to arm themelves - Jesus feared he would be killed in the garden and not on the cross - - fulfiling isaiah 53.12 by divine knowledge

Question 32

JEsus prays on the mount of olive

Answer 32

38-46 emph on Jesus' foresight - why does he urge them to pray against temptation if he knows they will betray him 'cup' (last supper ref LTJ) - dying with covenantal obligation - Jeremiah: god's judgement 25.15 against =cup jesus isolation= sufficiency as saviour ``` v40 connection to lord's prayer v41 little psychic distress 'agony' = physical effort relate to hellenic v45 'grief' for disciples not jesus = philo ```

Question 33

The betrayal and the arrest

Answer 33

47-53 kiss- synoptic - OT: Jaob used to mark murderous intention towards his brother Amamsa (2 sam 20/9) - hellen: sign of reconciliation (WEIMA) all 4 mention swords but only Lk mentions the healing of the ear - hellenistic norm: uphold value until the end

Question 34

Peter denies Jesus

Answer 34

54-62 - number 3: hebrew idiom=decisive identification (temptation) v61 prophetic - only in Lk: jesus turns towards peter - not only did jesus know he knew the exact moment - prophetic vocab 'peter remembered the word of the lord'

Question 35

the mocking and the beating of Jesus

Answer 35

63-65 pattern: luke sanitises the raw edges of mark - no ref to spitting guards know of Jesus' rep - mocking prophetic ability (LTJ ironic) - religious mocking= mocking god J determined purpose: no need to fight - suffering servant: transfiguration

Question 36

Jesus before the council

Answer 36

``` 66-71 omit false witness/accusation that Jesus would destroy the temple focus on Jesus' identity Jesus highlights hard heart of accusers - progressive theme Dan 7 son of man - claim to divinity as messiah ``` Jesus accusers affirmed that he was the son of God 'you therefore are the son of god?' messiah: politically charged term constantly needs to be recontextualised by Jesus' ref to son of man
