2015DBRP_062 Lev19-20 Ps20 Luke13


Yesterday we learned about the rule that all sacrifices be done at the tabernacle, the prohibitions of eating anything containing animal blood, and forbidden sexual practices.

We turn to Psalm 20, which is a prayer for the nation of Israel and their king, asking for national security in time of war.

 

Translation note:

7 Some nations boast of their chariots and horses,

but we boast [because of the reputation //in the name] of the LORD our God.

 

18 [Then Jesus introduced his teaching by asking, “What is the Kingdom of God like? Here is how I illustrate it.//Then Jesus said, “What is the Kingdom of God like? How can I illustrate it? ]

 

Even though English does use rhetorical questions, we don’t often use them to introduce teachings like Jesus did. Many languages in the world only use rhetorical questions for rebuking. Often translators do as I have done here so that Jesus doesn’t sound like he is groping around for what to say.

 

20 [Next he said, “Here is another illustration of the Kingdom of God.//He also asked, “What else is the Kingdom of God like?]

 

31 At that time some Pharisees said to him, “Get away

from here if you want to live! [King/0] Herod Antipas wants to kill

you!”

We turn to Luke 13. In the second half of Luke 12, Jesus taught about being ready for his return, and to guard against division.
