Luke
D. A. Carson & Douglas J. Moo
An Introduction to the New Testament
We owe to Luke a good deal of our information about Jesus. His first two chapters, for example, tell us almost all we know about the birth of John the Baptist and most of what we know about the birth and boyhood of Jesus. He alone tells us of the miraculous catch of fish and of its effect on Peter (Luke 5:1-11), the anointing of Jesus by a sinful woman (7:36-50), the women who helped Jesus (8:1-3), Jesus’ rejection by some Samaritans (9:51-56), the mission of the seventy (10:1-12, 17-20), Jesus’ visit with Martha and Mary (10:38-42), teaching on repentance (13:1-5), healing the crippled woman (13:10-17), Jesus’ teaching about Herod (13:31-33), the man with dropsy (14:1-6), the invitation to a banquet (14:7-14), Jesus’ teaching about unprofitable servants (17:7-10), the healing of ten lepers (17:11-19), Zaccheus (19:1-10), the lament over Jerusalem (19:41-44), the words about two swords (22:35-38), Jesus before Herod (23:6-12), the words to the daughters of Jerusalem (23:27-31), three of the “words” from the cross (23:34, 43, 46), and the whole section on the resurrection after the women at the tomb (24:12-53). Several of the parables are found in this gospel only: the Good Samaritan (10:25-37), the friend at midnight (11:5-8), the barren fig tree (13:6-9), the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son (15:1-32), the unjust manager (16:1-9), the rich man and Lazarus (16:19-31), the unjust judge (18:1-8), and the Pharisee and the publican (18:9-14). read more...
