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

[Mystic]

The Samaritans had their own Temple on Mount Gerizim. But Jews and Samaritans hated each other. So in 112-111 BC John Hyrcanus ordered Jewish soldiers to destroy the Samaritan Temple, thus increasing the mutual hatred.

The Samaritans had their own Temple on Mount Gerizim. But Jews and Samaritans hated each other. So in the 2nd century BC, Jewish soldiers destroyed the Samaritan Temple, thus increasing the mutual hatred.

Wow
Is much known aboot the Samaritans? Like their culture, their deities, their rituals?

Very similar to ancient monotheistic Judaism, with a few modifications of the Jewish Pentateuch and Mount Gerizim as their holy site rather than the Jerusalem Temple Mount. Beyond that, read the Wikipedia article "Samaritanism" for some of the nuanced differences.
During the Assyrian invasion of 728 BC many Jews living in Samaria were deported, but many of those who remained intermarried with Assyrian invaders.
As a result, they were considered "half-breeds" (an ugly term!) by Jews to the south in Judah and despised for their supposed "racial impurity."

So you can see why Jesus' Parable of the Good Samaritan and His celebration of the returning Samaritan leper to say "Thank you" would rub His audience the wrong way,.

Hey everybody! Here is Luke 6: 10-11

Bible Gateway passage: Luke 6:10-11 - New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

After looking around at all of them, he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was restored. But they were filled with fury and began discussing with one another what they might do to Jesus.

www.biblegateway.com

Jesus heals the man with the withered hand in defiance of the Pharisees and they are outraged.

The man is asked to reach out his hand and it is restored. We are given no details about this healing. There is no mention of the man's faith. There is no talk of forgiveness and no word of any demons to be driven out.

Luke wants us to focus on the reaction of the Pharisees. They are infuriated and begin plotting their revenge.

The parallel accounts of this story have the Pharisees planning to assassinate Jesus. (Mark 3:6, Matthew 12:14)

I wonder why Luke doesn't describe the Pharisees as murderous.

 

[Luce NDs]

It seems the Samaritans follow a different version of the Torah.
One of the main differences between the Samaritans(Jews?) and the Jews is the site they say God chose for his Temple.
The Samaritans say God chose Mount Gerizim (Biblical Mount Moriah) in Shechem for his holy dwelling and the Jews say it is Mount Zion in Jerusalem.
So technically, he could have went on to the Temple.

And they call the wind Moriah ... a separate item from a fury that is irrational about reason? Thus irrationalities in some personality references ... regarding the order of the daze ... many being spectacular at grassing over the fracture ... separation ankh?

 

[Luce NDs]

So you can see why Jesus' Parable of the Good Samaritan and His celebration of the returning Samaritan leper to say "Thank you" would rub His audience the wrong way,.

The urge leaning towards irrational Reuben and scrapes they get themselves in?

I wonder why Luke doesn't describe the Pharisees as murderous.

"What they might do to Jesus" is pretty suggestive that it won't be good but it is interesting that he doesn't as openly pin them as murderous while the others do. Though that phrasing is still pretty ominous.

I think this verse makes it pretty clear that, unlike some other healings, this one is less important for what it shows about Jesus than for how it sets up and illuminates the escalation in his conflict with the Pharisees and other leaders.

The light can be forced down ... only to rise delayed in floating off ... latent Ci? It is all in the myth presented as flat out ... when there's depth ... tous ide !

Luke was a doctor and a gentile?....so may be conflicted by the Pharisees argument especially when healing someone does no harm.

There Ammon declared to walk easy and know ... some believe knowing is secondary and the rush is Beta ... thus it goes down ... a horrid story inhumanity!

Yet they still don't know ... it is apparent to some as pare 'n tha seize ... Ξ ... tryst Xi's ... that Chi'z ... one has to go quite a bit ... and there the flame of what's dragon! George?

It may be myth ole logos ... where may things are buried as dark and occulted ... as occipital ... shoved to the back of the organ! Meme brane ...

The prohibition against working on the Sabbath is quite strong and the Pharisees are extreme in their interpretation of work.

The Torah states specifically that no fires are to be kindled on the Sabbath. Does anyone know if the Torah provides any further examples of "work"?

I wonder if the Pharisees are angriest about the Sabbath violation or the challenge to their authority.

Either way, they have to acknowledge they witnessed a miracle by Jesus.

Either way, they have to acknowledge they witnessed a miracle by Jesus.

There's also the thought they might be jealous of Jesus's miraculous powers.

 

[Mendalla]

Either way, they have to acknowledge they witnessed a miracle by Jesus.

They can always attribute to "sorcery" or "demons" or whatever. Just because he pulled a miracle in front of them doesn't mean that they have to acknowledge it was legitimately a divine one. Christians have handled "miracles" the same way at times when they don't fit their interpretation of "God".

I wonder if the Pharisees are angriest about the Sabbath violation or the challenge to their authority.

Oh definitely, the challenge IMHO but the Sabbath violation is obviously a factor in that challenge.

 

[Luce NDs]

On Sun Daze only light work as the flame starts TGIF? Oh the headaches that come down from there ...

PS: is a Mira Cle like driving knowledge into a stoned spot through the odd carrier of myth? All dark and occult science some would say about the invisible mulle 'ns in the night ... awe those creeping things on the Wahl ... untouchables?

Its just a diphthong hanging there ... in the shade ... abstract and obscure word ... inky? It goes round ... leaving indications and icons ... it's fear oidled?

Don't leave the unknowing idle too long ... be myth ole gos ... this to be expanded on but few will regardez! Incorrect degradations ... that's the word ... descendant ...

Off topic a bit, but the thread about IVF I've started, seems to demonstrate this in our modern world, with the judge imposing his religious views on his decision. Science vs Religion

This is not really science vs. religion, though. It's "my religion is right and yours is wrong". Attributing the healing to demons isn't science, it's still a religious belief, just one that says Jesus was not working for God.

 

[Luce NDs]

Did Jesus drift of the prescribed protocol for better rationale?

Split decisions for the God Game ... requiring definitive voids ... schizoid? Zingers ... one must gain understanding ...

 

[paradox3]

And of course, we people of faith in the present day never engage in "my religion is right and yours is wrong" arguments, do we?

And we never get angry about differences of opinion about religious texts either, do we?
