The Women at the Tomb. (Lk. 24: 1-12) The Lucan account of the resurrection of Christ began with the pericope of “the Women at the Tomb” This is the first of three resurrection stories that highlight the resurrection of Christ In the first, two angels appear to the women telling the good news of a living Christ (Luke 24:1-12) In the second is Jesus himself who delivers the message of the resurrection to the two disciples who walk to Emmaus (24:13-35) And in the third periscope, Jesus appears to

the Jewish practice and their appearance to Jesus only strengthened his claim as the one true way to God. Both figures in both books represent the Old Testament and law. God speaks to all present, saying, “…This is my chosen son; listen to him” (Lk 9:35). This differs slightly from Matthew’s account, where God speaks, saying “….This is my beloved son with whom I am well pleased; listen to him” (Mt 17:5). The Transfiguration is also captured in Mark with a similar account, however no account

uniqueness of his birth coincides with a similar account expressed by Matthew about the story of Jesus’ birth. Gabriel, the angel, appeared unto Zechariah with an answer to his long awaited prayer that his wife would bear a son and would name him John (Lk

In Luke 8, he began mentioning that the twelve disciples were with Jesus traveling between cities, “as well as some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities…” (Lk 8:02). This is yet again another example where a group of women is not only mentioned, but specified in such a way that deems them equal to their counter-parts. In Luke 10:38, Jesus told Martha, a woman upon visiting, that she should be listening to

the oppressed, the women, Samaritans, tax collectors, the sick, and the sinners. Jesus states that "the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news brought to them" (Lk. 7:22). If you take this out of the context of which it was written and it may not seem like a very big deal that some of these groups of people would be included in the kingdom of God, but in reality, Jesus caused a lot of controversy through focusing

Chapter 3. Theological Reflections on Matt 28:1-10 God, the Author of the Resurrection A close connection between God and Jesus is a constant refrain in the Gospel of Matthew. At the start of the Gospel, we come to know the relevance of Emmanuel as God’s presence in Jesus (1:23) and the involvement of God in birth accomplished through the angel (1:20; 2:13; 2:19). There is a constant citation of Jesus to the Father (6:9.14.18.26, and others), even as the one who disclosed to Peter that

Acts 2:42-47 Throughout the first few chapters of Acts, Luke provides summaries of the state of the church at various points in its infancy. Bock sees these as reports that the community has effectively bonded, though there could be a literary function of these summaries as well. In any case, Luke situates the first summary (Ac. 2:42-47) immediately after Peter’s sermon at Pentecost and lists four primary activities of

5:2-12), Jesus institutes an ethic for his disciples. This ethic is characterized by love for enemies (vv. 27-36) not judging (v. 37-38), the first of which appears to be a combination of two of the antitheses found in Matthew’s account (Mt. 5:43-48, 38-42) with “the golden rule” serving as a hinge that connects them. In this section Jesus establishes a society that is not necessarily its own nation or state, but rather a community that “forms its own sphere of life … which lives in a different way and
