Luke 6: A Verse (or Two) at a Time

[Luce NDs]

Hey everybody! Here is Luke 6: 6

Bible Gateway passage: Luke 6:6 - New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

The Man with a Withered Hand - On another Sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught, and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.

Here is Jesus teaching in the synagogue again. I am liking that the man with the withered hand is present. Whether he is there specifically to seek healing or he is a regular attendee, he has not been excluded.

I wonder which it is. I have encountered the theory that the man is a plant by the Pharisees.

I want the man with the withered hand to be a regular part of the gathering.

Oh ... that hand out of sight, unseen as the pen travailed in the past ... so it went ... some say a 3 rd hand that kept emerging from the great Wahl ... nothing that goes away easily ... the darker web! We just don't knw what corruption is up too with their obscure ideas ...

It is best to look into it with a Leer! The tyrants hate those essences as Haggai ... befuddling uglies? OHC lyres ... set to harmonics ... harpers fair Ra ...

The brightest spots are dashing ... misty? Denizens ... or just deni 'd ...

 

[paradox3]

@Luce NDs Yes, a withered hand could be kept out of sight, unlike many other ailments.

I have encountered the theory that the man is a plant by the Pharisees.

A first century CE false flag operation, eh? I sometimes wonder if our modern penchant for looking for conspiracies around every corner is being projected back on to that world. Not that there weren't conspiracies back then (cf. the assassination of Julius Caesar), but I hardly think we need to see every little challenge to a popular figure as being part of one.

TLDR: I think he is just part of the community.

Inclined to agree with you. But these biblical dudes can be nefarious. The struggle between good and evil is ever present.

The people rejected Jesus in His hometown of Nazareth and tried to run him over a cliff. ((Luke 4: 28-29)

But he passed through the crowd and went on His way. (Luke 4:30)

I have encountered the theory that the man is a plant by the Pharisees.

And your theory would be right ----I say -----the Pharisees wanted very much to discredit Jesus by enticing Him to break the law of Moses by healing on the Sabbath which they --the Pharisees----- saw as doing works on the Sabbath ----which they wrongly interpreted and added what they thought was works on the Sabbath ---they were famous for adding their own agenda to God's laws ----

 

[Luce NDs]

On the theory: that the man is a plant by the Pharisees.

This would explain the vegetation of a lot of the community when it comes to varies dimensions of support for a just community (without left outs and eliminated types) ... so vegetable perspectives go ... a great green satyr given that mule in the forest (100 acre Magi one)! Trees do mark their time ... in rings!

Also it could explain green seizure and agoraphobia ... as something understood as something totally different, divers and divine and nature that can come back to choke yah after ye're properly laid out under the horizon ...

No fear ... you're supporting the green generation ... and potentially, in future wandering will not leave much of a footprint in essence ...

This non-existent item called the sol-Ba would say humbug to what it makes fun of in the planting! May explain tares and darker seed also ... and laughter over water mellow 'n about ... silly gourds!

 

[Mystic]

This incident illustrates Mark's tendency to highlight Jesus' humanity and the emoti onal foibles that go with that.
So Luke omits Jesus' emotional reaction to the entrapping Pharisees' icy silence in response to His pointed question:
"He looked around at them with anger; He was grieved at their hardness of heart (Mark 3:5)."

 

[paradox3]

Why were the Pharisees so opposed to Jesus? Were they jealous of His authority and popularity with the people? Jesus has started to have a big impact already.

We encounter a few righteous Pharisees in scripture but they are few and far between.

 

[BetteTheRed]

I find it interesting that the man's right hand was withered. That's an important point; means that the only hand he has available to interact with others physically is his "unclean" hand.

 

[BetteTheRed]

And without reading ahead, I am disinclined to the theory that the man is a plant of the Pharisees. The Pharisees get a bad enough rap as it is, without ascribing further unrighteousness based on conjecture.

 

[paradox3]

I am starting to feel sorry for the man with the withered hand who is being centered out. He is about to become the focal point of an argument between Jesus and the Pharisees.

Or maybe he doesn't mind the attention if there is a possibility he will be healed.

 

[Mendalla]

Being healed by Jesus kind of exposed you to that risk, eh.

 

[Delightful Life]

Being healed by Jesus kind of exposed you to that risk, eh.

He had that affect on people

He could awaken even NPCs *waggles eyebrows*

Hey everybody! Here is Luke 6: 7

Bible Gateway passage: Luke 6:7 - New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

The scribes and the Pharisees were watching him to see whether he would cure on the Sabbath, so that they might find grounds to bring an accusation against him.

www.biblegateway.com

The Pharisees found fault with the disciples of Jesus earlier. Now they are watching Jesus himself waiting for him to slip up.

I wonder if the Pharisees' animosity was apparent to the others in the synagogue. Jesus is proving to be charismatic and compelling and perhaps being a rebel adds a little appeal to His persona.

Does anyone here think Jesus might actually have been a Pharisee? This has been suggested by a few writers including Amy-Jill Levine. I haven't read her argument for this possibility.

In the vernacular, Pharisee is sometimes used as a synonym for hypocrite. Levine and others consider this usage to be antisemitic.

They definitely get a bad rap in passages such as this one. Could it be a literary device to foreshadow Jesus's own people turning against him?

 

[Luce NDs]

Is there a purpose to bad NU's and bad raps are they cause breaks in chaos? Thus arresting thoughts ... it it really comes down to that ... Mont Anna?

Do you know the high's Torah of ANi as spun? It too is tous outlandish for the franc ... BTR declared it a Weiner ... as dogs go ... into the vale looking for small sh riners ... rye ends? Relativity personified ... by protocol or just dogma on the roof owling ... as Neo fiddling with the heavens ... trying to bring down something or other ... what's Anu-r ... more manhours? M'n outes ... all mythologic activity to firm up what's a cloudy nuance about mankind and virtue ... proving what we know ... it isn't munch ... that's the bones ... ghnaw ... the wardrobe is full ovite ... closeted matters ... thus closed case at the threshold ... as cede is beaten out ...

Tis all in detailing as the donkey learned ... braen in the forest ... lost braes ... ah shut up they said! They were rude AH ... the red horse wa sa pyre ... sign of consuming grace ... Sheila eat you up ... in blarney that's a storm ...

 

[Mendalla]

I know that one of the ones I've heard is that resurrection of the body on a Judgement Day was a belief of theirs that made its way into his teaching. That alone, of course, isn't enough but it's at least something they agreed on, even if they parted ways on other matters.

There's also an argument that he and John the Baptist came from the Essene community but, again, that's mostly based on beliefs that coincide with those of that community and is argued by many scholars. When The Ancients did a two-parter on Qumran, IIRC, the scholar interviewed didn't rule it out but didn't see much evidence for it either.

 

[Mendalla]

As for this verse, I think it shows just how much he rubbed the leadership the wrong way and vice versa. They weren't just confronting him when they happened across him, they were spoiling for a fight.

May explain the darkness in the temple due to the crow 'n heaven as a dream ... bad NU's for the governing vectors? Black boid has risen ... as a racket piercing the morn ... the stab at another Dai? Heavens!!!!

Jaime's crowed about all that went wrong in the temple of Judy ... a void opened ... god's pace ... a sloe turn ... wait for it ... directed by 4 horse and a stage --- Shakespeare? (the bonnie prince was charred; Ba'als a' pyre)

Will mammon support the old and Y's to what adolescent departures from ... hommoe sentient? In reality nothing is even balanced ... equilibration is out there ...

Tell me about stupid again ... is it that simple? Sophistication erupts exponentially and thus beyond norm ... outlanders in the paradigmatic curve ...

The Pharisees and Jesus also agreed there was an afterlife and they believed in the existence of demons & angels. Unlike the Sadducees, the Pharisees used the whole tenach. (Jesus frequently referred to the Law and the Prophets).

The Sadducees and the Samaritans only used the Torah.

From what I have read, Jesus parted company with the Pharisees on the question of the oral tradition. This is why we see Jesus rejecting their interpretation of Sabbath observance and other things.

It's another theory, yes.
