OVERVIEW OF THE GOSPEL OF LUKE:

Apostle Luke, a Gentile and a physician, wrote this Gospel and the Book of Acts. Luke’s work is assumed to be written in AD 60-62 during the time disciple Paul was in jail. His works were dedicated to Theophilus, a Roman dignitary. Luke gives an ordered account of the events of Jesus’s life but not necessarily in order. His primary research was eyewitnesses, disciples, and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

Luke knew the disciples personally. He traveled with Paul most of the time. However, he also used other disciples’ work in his research, such as Mark, as a lot of his work included the Gospel of Mark. However, this Gospel gives many accounts of Jesus’s healing ministry because Luke was a physician himself.

Luke alone reported unusual circumstances surrounding the birth of John the Baptist and the annunciation of Mary. He emphasized the central role of women, children, Gentiles, Samaritans, rich, sinners, and outcasts in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Luke proposed to narrate the ministry of Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ’s mission dedicated to the saving of sinners and his progression to the cross to become Savior of the World.

Overview of Chapter Five

Jesus stood by the lake of Gennesaret and saw two ships. The fishermen were washing their nets. He entered Simon’s Peter’s ship. Simon, John, and James were master fisherman. However, they had been fishing all night and day and were not able to catch any fish. Jesus told them, “launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught”. Simon Peter was with doubt as he was not able to catch fish himself but did as he was told. Fish jumped into the nets and a second boat was called to carry the fish because there were so many fish that one boat could not hold them all. They were amazed and believed in Jesus. He told them that he would make them fishermen of men. They left everything to follow him.

Jesus went into a city. A man with leprosy saw Jesus and asked him to make him clean. He spoke and leprosy departed from the man. He told the man to tell no man but to go to the priest and make a testimony unto them. Great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Jesus of their infirmities.

It came to pass, one day while Jesus was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which came out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. One man with palsy was brought in on a couch. He was not able to get through the crowd so his friends lowered him before Jesus from a housetop. Jesus saw their faith and forgave the man of his sins.

The Scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, “who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?” Therefore, so they may know the Son of Man (Son of God) can forgive sins, Jesus spoke to the man, “Rise up and walk”. He did and everyone was amazed. The scribes and Pharisees and others were filled with fear, and they said, “We have seen strange things today”.

Levi, a publican, that sat at the seat of customs was noticed by Jesus. Jesus said to Levi, “leave everything and follow me”.

A great feast in his own house, there were publicans and of others that sat down with them. But the scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples that they eat and drink with such people. Jesus answered, “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance”. Then they asked, “why do the disciples of John and the Pharisees fast often and make prayers but yours eat and drink?”

Jesus answered, Do the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? Then Jesus spoke in parables to demonstrate examples of his teachings. Note: In meaning, Jesus was with his disciples with the Holy Spirit and all power but when he leaves them they will need to fast often and make prayers as do the disciples of John.

Chapter Highlights of Gospel According to Luke – Chapter Five KJV) Answers to Objectives and Activity-Questions.

A. How Jesus called Peter, James, John, and Levi into discipleship. Luke 5:1-11 KJV

¹And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, ²And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. ³And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people out of the ship.

⁴Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. ⁵And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless, at thy word, I will let down the net. ⁶And when they had this done, they captured a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

⁷And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came and filled both the ships so that they began to sink. ⁸When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. ⁹For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:

¹⁰And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. ¹¹And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all and followed him.

²⁷And after these things he went forth and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. ²⁸And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

B. How Jesus showed the people he had the power to forgive sins. Luke 5: 18-25 KJV

¹⁸And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in and to lay him before him. ¹⁹And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus. ²⁰And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

²¹And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? ²²But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? ²³Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?

²⁴But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house. ²⁵And immediately he rose up before them and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. ²⁶And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things today.

C. The reason Jesus ate with publicans and sinners. Luke 5: 27-32 KJV

²⁷And after these things he went forth and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. ²⁸And he left all, rose up, and followed him. ²⁹And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them

³⁰But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? ³¹And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need, not a physician; but they that are sick. ³²I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
