Luke 4-6

Book: Luke

Jul 27

This section is marked by the introduction of characters who follow Jesus. The section begins with the narrator demonstrating Jesus as the ultimate Adam (3:24-4:13), and then continues with Jesus Himself declaring His mission as Lord of the Sabbath to release the prisoners (4:14-44).

From then on, there is a sequence of gathering more disciples, adding women and finally sending the disciples out to represent Him. Peter, James and John are called in 5:1, then Levi in 5:28, then the 12 in 6:14. Women who support Him financially are added to the group with Him in 8:1 and then finally in 9:1 the 12 are sent out in His Name with His power.

Each of these introductions to sections where additional followers are added is immediately followed by event(s) or instructions that will explain to the followers something about their mission.
