Section 8 Additional teachings of Jesus in Matthew, Luke and John

Friday, 4 October 13

In general we have followed the story of Jesus life in Marks Gospel. This does not always provide the fullest account but is simple in structure. However it does mean that at times we need to add in some extra information from the other Gospels. This is one such section, though we shall not spend much time here as it is not necessarily about the life of Christ but about his teaching and that will be covered in other courses.

This includes: - 2 sections in Matthew, chapters 10 and 18 - the main central section in Luke 9:51-18:34 - the visits of Christ to Jerusalem and controversies therein in John 5-11

11Whatever town or village you enter, search there for some worthy person and stay at their house until you leave. 12As you enter the home, give it your greeting. 13If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you.14If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.15Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

Lukes central section 9:51-18:14

Much is made of the structure of this section: - is it simply a gathering of the teachings of Jesus as he approached the cross - do we need to read it all as being in the shadow of the cross? - is it an extended chiasmus with the pronouncement of 13:31-35 as the climactic centre?

John 5-11
In the gospel of John, only in chapter 6 do we nd any detail of Jesuss Galilean ministry (and thus the overlap with the synoptics) Chapters 5, 7-11 all involve Jesus visits to Jerusalem Although John tells us of Jesus attending feasts, his primary intention was not chronological but to show Jesus fullling Judaism - and in each situation we see him generating a lot of controversy

John 5 is either Passover (spring) or Tabernacles (autumn) - and is relatively early in Jesus ministry 7:1-10:21 is at the time of Tabernacles and is late in the ministry of Jesus 10:22-29 is at the time of Hanukkah (December) during Jesus last year Jn 11 has Jesus in Bethany and 12 has him in Jerusalem for the nal week of his life

- verifying 11:25, Jesus calls Lazarus out - the only miracle Jesus prays before - it is for the benet of the people not for himself 11:41-42 - Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin pronounce it is better for this man to die than live - 11:50 is interpreted by John as referring to the atonement whilst for Caiaphas it is to avert Roman disapproval - Jesus withdraws to Ephraim
