hand of Satan." |
|
| From
Matthew
Henry's Commentary (c. 1700).
| "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." |
|
| From
Wesley's
Notes.
John Wesley
(1703-1791).
| "For the real motive of his [the
ruler's] speaking was envy, not (as he pretended) pure zeal for the glory
of God." |
|

Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871). |

"First
Thoughts on Year C Gospel Passages in the Lectionary,"
Pentecost 13, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in
Australia.
| "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." |
|
|
Exegetical Notes
by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks Christian Resources.
| "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." |
|
|
"Exegetical Considerations,"
Pentecost 12, Richard
Carlson, Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, Using Greek for
Sunday Text Preparations.
| "How does 13:18-21 continue and provide
theological commentary on 13:10-17?" |
|
|
"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.
| "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." |
|
|
"Of People
and Power," Expository Essay,
Dr. William R. Long.
Part 2.
| "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." |
|
|
"Off
the Record," Teresa Berger, The Christian Century, 2004.
| "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." |

Laterally Luke, by
Brian McGowan, Anglican priest in Western Australia. |
|
"Sabbath Freedom," Mary Hinkle, Pilgrim Preaching.
| "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)." |

"Adherence to the Law," wikipedia. |
| "The
Obligation to Heal," Luke 13:10-17, John J. Kilgallen, Biblica,
2001.
| "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." |

| "Miracles,
In Other Words: Social Science Perspectives on Healings," Jerome H. Neyrey,
University of Notre Dame, 1995.
| "...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)." |

"Magic, Miracles, and The Gospel," L. Michael White. PBS From
Jesus to Christ.
| "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." |
|
|
"Ecumenism and the New Paradigm of Healing," Keith Clements,
The
Ecumenical Review, 2003.
| "'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." |
