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 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 is based on 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’s work. A lot of Luke’s 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 to Mary. He emphasized the central role of women, children, Gentiles, Samaritans, rich people, sinners, and outcasts in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Luke proposed to narrate the ministry of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ’s mission dedicated to the saving of sinners and his progression to the cross to become Savior of the World.

45 Days to Read the Gospel Challenge. The Gospel of Luke Chapter Six – The Sabbath, Love Your Enemies: How to Identify Good and Evil People

Overview of The Gospel According to Luke Chapter Six

On the second Sabbath, Jesus and His disciples were walking through a cornfield. The disciples were hungry, so they picked ears of corn to eat. The Pharisees saw this and said that picking corn on the Sabbath was unlawful. Jesus responded, saying that the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.

Later that day, Jesus entered the synagogue to teach, where a man with a withered right hand was present. Jesus healed the man, but the scribes and Pharisees were upset, believing that healing was considered work, which they thought should not be done on the Sabbath. In response, Jesus declared, “It is lawful to do good and save life on the Sabbath, not to destroy it.”

Afterward, Jesus went up to a mountain to pray. He called His disciples to Him, and from them, He chose twelve, whom He named apostles. Jesus then came down with His disciples to a level place, where a great crowd from all of Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon had gathered to hear Him and be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by unclean spirits were also healed, and Jesus healed the entire multitude of all their ailments.

Jesus taught His disciples about humility, love, and mercy. He instructed them to love their enemies, do good to those who curse them, and treat others as they would want to be treated. He encouraged them to lend without expecting anything in return and to be merciful, as the Father is merciful. He said, “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven.” He also reminded them that a disciple is not greater than his master.

Jesus taught how to discern good people from bad, explaining that a good tree does not produce bad fruit, and a corrupt tree does not produce good fruit. He asked, “Why do you call me Lord and not do the things I say?” He explained that those who hear His words and act on them are like a person who builds their house on a rock—when storms come, their foundation will not be shaken. But those who hear His words and do not follow them are like a person who builds their house on the earth—when storms come, it will collapse in ruins.

Highlights

B. The names of the twelve disciples also known as apostles Luke 6:12-17 KJV

¹²And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them, he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

¹⁴Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

¹⁵Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,

¹⁶And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.

C. Jesus heals in multitudes to show his power unto the father’s glory. He also blesses them that believed. Luke 6: 17-22 KJV

¹⁷And he came down with them and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

¹⁸And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.

¹⁹And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.

²⁰And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed, be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

²¹Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

²²Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.

²³Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

²⁴But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

²⁵Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

²⁶Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

D. Jesus gives important commands to obey. Luke 6: 27-45 KJV

²⁷But I say unto you which hear, love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,

²⁸Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

²⁹And unto him that smite thee on the one cheek offer also the other, and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

³⁰Give to every man that asked of thee; and of him, that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

³¹And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

³²For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.

³³And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

³⁴And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

³⁵But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

³⁶Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

³⁷Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

³⁸Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

³⁹And he spoke a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

⁴⁰The disciple is not above his master: but everyone that is perfect shall be as his master.

⁴¹And why behold thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceives not the beam that is in thine own eye?

⁴²Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholds not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.

⁴³For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

⁴⁴For every tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

⁴⁵A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good, and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaketh.

E. How Jesus describes people who believe in him but do not obey him compared to those who believe in him and obey him. Luke 6: 46-49 KJV

⁴⁶And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

⁴⁷Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:

⁴⁸He is like a man which built a house, and dug deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

⁴⁹But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built a house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.
