Today’s Reading -

9/29/2019       Day 272 Luke 6:1 – 49

Reflection |

Today -

Jesus continues to push the Sabbath tradition by healing
and eating/harvesting; He selects the 12 disciples;

Jesus preaches the Sermon on the Plain -

Blessed and woes - love your enemies; don’t judge others,
Can the blind lead the blind? Bearing good fruit. Building
Faith on the solid ground of Christ.

More Luke by Mark Powell

Scholars think that Luke was written the end of the 1st century;
Luke probably had a copy of Gospel of Mark and a lost book
called the Sayings of Jesus (Q is what scholars call it).

Outline:

Chapters

1.1 - 4 Prologue - Luke hired to write this account of Jesus
1.5 - 2.52 Infancy narratives of both John the Baptist and Jesus
3.1 - 4.13 Jesus encounters John and the devil
4.14 - 9.50 Galilean ministry - Jesus calls and trains disciples,
works miracles, and gets into trouble with religious leaders.
9.51 - 19.27 Jesus and followers head to Jerusalem and learn along
the way.
19.28 - 21.38 Jesus teaches in the Temple
22.1 - 23.56 Jesus’ last supper, arrest, crucifixion, death, buried
24.1 - 53 Empty tomb - Jesus is Rizen; teaches disciples and
ascends into heaven.
