Henry's Commentary (c. 1700).

and to forsake that enemy, to ransom sinners from whom the Redeemer
prayed, agonized, and bled." |
|
| From
Wesley's
Notes.
John Wesley
(1703-1791).
| "Our Lord passed most of the
time on the cross in silence: yet seven sentences which he spoke
thereon are recorded by the four evangelists, though no one
evangelist has recorded them all. Hence it appears that the four
Gospels are, as it were, four parts, which, joined together, make
one symphony. Sometimes one of these only, sometimes two or three,
sometimes all sound together." |

Thoughts on Year C Gospel Passages in the Lectionary: Christ the King,"
William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
| "To affirm that Jesus is king is to
affirm a different kind of kingship. But it is not a kingship which
abdicates into an inner or other world. Powerless is simply passivity if
no power is taken up."

Notes (Passion Sunday) by Brian Stoffregen at

| "The Gospel of Luke ends with
Jesus telling the disciples: "Repentance for the forgiveness of
sins shall be proclaimed in my name to all nations." That is
the primary message of Jesus in Luke. Forgiveness was available for
Judas, but he wouldn't repent. Forgiveness is available for each of
us, will we repent?" |

entering the world of Luke-Acts readers partake of a narrative refiguring
of space in all its social and sacred amplitude--a refiguring of profound

admittedly the Sanhedrin did not. The laws of narratology indicate that Luke 1,35, a part

22,70." |
