Luke 10-13
Jesus heads for Jerusalem to give Himself as the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53 to pay for Israel’s release and instructs the disciples to follow His example and give up all for the gospel [9:51—19:28].
This section is broken up by the narrator’s geographical directions and intensification of Jesus’ approach to Jerusalem.
They are:
9:51: “… set His face to go to Jerusalem”
13:22: “… proceeding to Jerusalem”
17:11: “… on the way to Jerusalem”
18:31: “We are going up to Jerusalem”
19:11: “… they were near Jerusalem”
19:28 “He was going ahead, ascending to Jerusalem”
The Nature of Discipleship is to realize the Great Sabbath that Jesus brings, the Day of Messiah, yet He will be rejected by Israel, and will return to judge them (9:51-13:21].
Jesus explains to the disciples the nature of their training. They are not of a judgment ministry but of a merciful ministry. Then Jesus gives them a short discourse on the ultimate sacrifice and privilege of being a disciple.
