bullet IV.30, Against Marcion, Tertullian (c. 210)
bullet VIII.LIV, Against Celsus, Origen (c. 246)
bulletFrom the Geneva Notes.
bullet"Christ came to deliver us from the hand of Satan."
bulletFrom Matthew Henry's Commentary (c. 1700).
bullet"Christ knew that this ruler had a real enmity to him and to his gospel, and that he did but cloak it with a pretended zeal for the sabbath day; he really would not have them be healed any day; but if Jesus speaks the word, and puts forth his healing power, sinners are set free."
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes. John Wesley (1703-1791).
bullet"For the real motive of his [the ruler's] speaking was envy, not (as he pretended) pure zeal for the glory of God."
bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
bulletFrom The People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
bullet"All disease is the offspring of sin, but from Satan came sin."
bulletContemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:
bullet Comments (commentary) and Clippings (technical notes for in-depth study), Chris Haslam, Anglican Diocese of Montreal.
bullet "First Thoughts on Year C Gospel Passages in the Lectionary," Pentecost 13, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
bullet"God’s focus is not self-aggrandisement as it is with so many who have power and wealth and want to keep it, but generosity and giving, restoration and healing, encouraging and renewing."
bullet Exegetical Notes by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks Christian Resources.
bullet"It is the synagogue leader who calls Jesus' actions "healing" (therapeuo in v. 14 twice) -- and thus a "work". He doesn't see it as the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy of releasing from bondage -- or a re-enactment of the Exodus journey from slavery to freedom."
bullet "Exegetical Considerations," Pentecost 12, Richard Carlson, Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, Using Greek for Sunday Text Preparations.
bullet"How does 13:18-21 continue and provide theological commentary on 13:10-17?"
bullet "There Are No Wimpy Christians in Heaven," Jerry Goebel, One Family Outreach. "Focus on scripture from a justice perspective." Exegesis, study, and teen study and activities.
bullet"They had read the scriptures and recognized Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the prophets; but they were still excluded from the gates of heaven. What did they miss? They missed Jesus in his true form. Not as Messiah; for they did call him, ‘Lord’, rather they missed Jesus in his most vulnerable form."
bullet "Of People and Power," Expository Essay, Dr. William R. Long. Part 2.
bullet"But I can understand how many people would be furious at Jesus. He was going after the power structure at its most vulnerable point--how it was able to secure the support of the people. And he gave the people another choice. And what a choice."
bullet "Off the Record," Teresa Berger, The Christian Century, 2004.
bullet"In a world that continues to "bend" women’s lives, we must follow Jesus in claiming that the lives of women are sacred, and that women are invited to be healed and flourish in the presence of the Holy One."
bullet Laterally Luke, by Brian McGowan, Anglican priest in Western Australia.
bullet "Sabbath Freedom," Mary Hinkle, Pilgrim Preaching.
bullet"I am using a sabbath controversy story to preach against treating the sabbath as just another day. Jesus heals on the sabbath, yes. However, when Jesus heals the woman, he is not offering a model for seven-day-a-week ministry. In her commentary on Luke, Sharon Ringe says of this text, "The core question is not whether to keep the sabbath, but rather how to keep it" (187)."
bullet "The Inevitable Victory of the Kingdom," Rev. Bryan Findlayson, Lectionary Bible Studies and Sermons, Pumpkin Cottage Ministry Resources.
bullet "Jesus Can Heal Us from Anger," Dale Fletcher, Faith and Health Connection.
bullet"A Problem of Perspective," a study from the Biblical Studies Foundation.
bulletArticles & Background:
bullet"Sabbath," "Adherence to the Law," wikipedia.
bullet"The Obligation to Heal," Luke 13:10-17, John J. Kilgallen, Biblica, 2001.
bullet"In this essay, there is noted the crucial difference between the key words dei= (13,14.16) and e!cestin(14,3) for the interpretations (and differences) between these two Sabbath cures. Also this essay notes the inherent unity of the cure of the bent woman with the call to repentance that precedes it."
bullet"Miracles, In Other Words: Social Science Perspectives on Healings," Jerome H. Neyrey, University of Notre Dame, 1995.
bullet"...we should attend to the institution in which the healing takes place, either kinship or politics. What roles does the family have in an illness? How are they socially and economically affected? What role do they play in the seeking of a cure? What costs do they pay or debts to they incur? What if the healing occurs in the political realm, even if this is a healing shrine such as the temple of Asclepius at Epidaurus? Healings, moreover, might have important political implications, for "prophets" arose, echoing themes of liberation and freedom. The political significance of the account of the healing by the Jewish Eleazar before the emperor Vespasian and his retinue should not be discounted (Josephus. Ant. 8.45-48)."
bullet "Magic, Miracles, and The Gospel," L. Michael White. PBS From Jesus to Christ.
bullet"Probably in some ways, and more than any other issue within the development of early Christianity and the gospels tradition, miracles present one of the problematic areas."
bullet "Ecumenism and the New Paradigm of Healing," Keith Clements, The Ecumenical Review, 2003.
bullet"'Healing' brings into the picture certain depths and dimensions of reconciliation which we are otherwise liable to miss, and these depths and dimensions are beginning to register in our consciousness because of the changes we are experiencing in our contemporary world and the societies we live in."
