  8. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • Luke 7:1–50 - Who is this Jesus?

  9. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • Luke 7:1–50 - Who is this Jesus? • Luke helps his readers answer the question ‘Who is Jesus?’ (v.49) by recounting two healing miracles in vv.1–10 and vv.11–17, John’s testimony to Jesus in vv.18–35, and another example of Jesus forgiving sins in vv.36–50.

  10. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • Luke 7:1–10 - The faith of the centurion

  11. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • Luke 7:1–10 - The faith of the centurion • This account is also recorded in Matthew 8:5–13 but John 4:46–53 is almost certainly a different incident.

  12. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • 1 When Jesus had finished saying all this in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.

  13. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • Capernaum was not just Jesus main operational base in Galilee, it was also the scene of some of his most remarkable works:

  14. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • Capernaum was not just Jesus main operational base in Galilee, it was also the scene of some of his most remarkable works: • And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the skies? No, you will go down to the depths. If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day (Matthew 11:23).

  15. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • 2 There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die.

  16. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • 2 There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. • 3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant.

  17. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, This man deserves to have you do this, 5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.

  18. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • He is a kind man who loves our people and helped build our synagogue. Please help him.

  19. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • He is a kind man who loves our people and helped build our synagogue. Please help him. • So that they may offer sacrifices pleasing to the God of heaven and pray for the well-being of the king and his sons (Ezra 6:10).

  20. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • The synagogue in Capernaum is the same as the one mentioned in Luke 4:33.

  21. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • 6 So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.

  22. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • I do not deserve reveals the centurion’s humility, which is significant given the man’s natural authority as a Roman leader.

  23. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • I do not deserve reveals the centurion’s humility, which is significant given the man’s natural authority as a Roman leader. • Say the word reveals his great faith.

  24. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • 8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go’, and he goes; and that one, ‘Come’, and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this’, and he does it.

  25. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • 9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, I tell you, I have not foundsuch great faitheven in Israel.

  26. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • Not found; even in Israel foreshadows the entry of Gentiles into the Kingdom of God. • Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too. • (Romans 3:29).

  27. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • Such great faith. Jesus commends the centurion, who is a Gentile, for his humble faith (v.6). • Whoever humbles himself will be exalted. (Matthew 23:12b).

  28. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • 10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.

  29. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • Luke 7:11–17 - Jesus raises a widow’s son

  30. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • Luke 7:11–17 - Jesus raises a widow’s son • Others raised to life: • Jairus’ daughter (Luke 8:40–56). • Lazarus (John 11:1–44). • Tabitha or Dorcas (Acts 9:36–43). • A Gentile widow’s son (1 Kings 17:17–24).

  31. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • 11 Soon afterwards, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him.

  32. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • 11 Soon afterwards, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. • 12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out — the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.

  33. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • The only son of his mother;a widow reveals the desperate economic situation of the woman.

  34. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • The only son of his mother;a widow reveals the desperate economic situation of the woman. • And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son (Zechariah 12:10).

  35. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • 13 When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, Don’t cry.

  36. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • 13 When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, Don’t cry. • 14 Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, Young man, I say to you, get up!

  37. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • Jesus touched the coffin and was unconcerned about ceremonial cleanness. • Whoever touches the dead body of anyone will be unclean for seven days. • (Numbers 19:11).

  38. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • Anyone out in the open who touches someone who has been killed with a sword or someone who has died a natural death, or anyone who touches a human bone or a grave, will be unclean for seven days (Numbers 19:16).

  39. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • Anyone out in the open who touches someone who has been killed with a sword or someone who has died a natural death, or anyone who touches a human bone or a grave, will be unclean for seven days (Numbers 19:16). • So they came and carried them, still in their tunics, outside the camp, as Moses ordered. (Leviticus 10:5).

  40. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

  41. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother. • Sat up and began to talk: • To be gracious to him and say, ‘Spare him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom for him’ (Job 33:24).

  42. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • Gave him back to his mother. These are the exact words found in the Septuagint of 1 Kings 17:23 describing the raising of a widow’s son by Elijah.

  43. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • 16 They were all filled with awe and praised God. A great prophet has appeared among us, they said. God has come to help his people.

  44. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • In recognition of God’s powerful presence, the people’s awe immediately leads to worship: they praised God. • The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told (Luke 2:20).

  45. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • A great prophet is a correct description of Jesus, see Luke 4:23–24, 7:39, 9:8, 9:19, 13:33 and 24:19; but it is an inadequate one, unless one adds: Christ, Son of God, Son of Man, Lord, etc.

  46. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • God has come to help his people: • Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come and has redeemed his people (Luke 1:68).

  47. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognise the time of God’s coming to you (Luke 19:44).

  48. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognise the time of God’s coming to you (Luke 19:44). • Simon has described to us how God at first showed his concern by taking from the Gentiles a people for himself (Acts 15:14).

  49. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout Judæa and the surrounding country.

  50. The Ministry of Jesus in Galilee • Luke 7:18–35 - Jesus and John the Baptist
