Luke
Chapter
10 (Continued)
{The
Parable of the Good Samaritan}
10:25``And,
behold {pay attention!}
an
'expert in religious law' { nomikos}
arose/'raised
up' {anistemi} . . .
and,
putting Him to the test {ekpeirazo}, saying,
"Teacher
{didaskalos},
what
must I 'be doing' to inherit eternal life?"
{Note: We see right away this is a 'religious' legalistic man who thinks HE can do something to earn salvation! It is a 'gift of God not of works'. Faith is like eating and drinking. We all can do it and there is no merit in the one who can 'eat or drink' or have faith. In salvation, the merit is in the OBJECT of faith.}
10:26``He
{Jesus} said, face to face {pros} with him,
"What
is written in the law?
What do you 'acknowledge as accurate knowledge' {anaginosko}?
10:27``Now
he {the expert in religious law}
'had
an answer'/'gave a discerning answer
from
the ultimate source of himself' {apokrinomai} said,
"You
will love {agapao} the Lord your God with all your heart,
and
with all your soul,
and
with all your strength/ability {ischus},
and
with all your mind/'Way of thinking' {dianoia} . . .
and
{love} your neighbor as yourself."
10:28``Now
He {Jesus} said to him,
"You
have answered/apokrinomai'ed {apokrinomai} rightly.
Do
this {an order}, and you will live {zao}."
10:29
But he {the expert in religious law},
wanting
to 'justify himself'/'show himself to be righteous' {dikaioo},
said
face to face with Jesus,
"And who keeps on being my neighbor?"
10:30``Jesus
'taking up in His mind'/
'receiving
the question hospitably' {hupolambano}
replied,
"A certain man kept on going down
from
Jerusalem to Jericho . . .
and
fell into the hands of robbers/bandits,
who
even stripping him of his garments,
putting
a beating on him,
and
departing . . . leaving him half dead.
10:31``Now
by chance
there
kept on coming a priest {hiereus} that way
{hiereus - refers to those Jews who give sacred rites - busy with
'religious stuff' principal of 'ritual without reality' - for some, this
was their job not their belief}.
But
when he was perceiving him {the injured man},
he
passed by on the other side {antiparerchomai}.
10:32``And,
likewise/'in the same manner' {homoios} a Levite
{from the tribe of Levi - the Priests had to be not only Levites but
from the line of Aaron. So, in a narrower sense those were called
Levites who, not being of the family of Aaron, served as
assistants to the priests.}
beginning
to come up to the place . . . coming and looking . . .
passed
by on the other side {antiparerchomai}.
10:33``Now
a certain Samaritan traveling . . .
came
where he {the injured man was} and, seeing him,
was
'emotionally moved'/had compassion' {splagchnizomai}.
{Note: It is important to remember that the Samaritans were a group of half Jews and half Gentile half-breeds. They were looked down upon by the Jews and therefore they really did not like each other much!}
10:34``And,
going forth . . . bandaging his wounds . . .
pouring
oil {olive oil - was used to heal wounds}
and
wine {alcohol keeps infections down}
and
putting him on his own animal, bringing him to an inn . . .
and
taking care of him.
10:35``The
next day, taking out two silver coins {denarion},
he
gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him,
'Care
for him {an order}.
And
whatever more you spend,
I
will repay when I come back this way.'
10:36``Which
of these three . . .
do
you think . . . became a neighbor
to
the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?"
10:37``Now
he {the expert in religious law} said,
"The
one showing mercy {eleos} to him."
So
Jesus said to him,
"
'Go on your journey in life' {poreuomai - an order}
and
do the same {another command}."
38~~Now
as they went on their way,
Jesus
entered a certain village
where
a certain woman named Martha
welcomed
him as a guest into her house.
{Mary
Positive to the Teaching of Doctrine}
39~~She
{Martha} had a sister called Mary,
who
sat {parakathizo} beside Jesus' feet with a relaxed mind
and
heard and received/obeyed/'responded to'{akouo} what He said.
{Note: Para means 'from the immediate source of'. Kathizo means to sit in a relaxed manner. Parakathizo means Mary was sitting with a relaxed mental attitude as she was concentrating on the doctrinal teaching of Jesus. She quickly will become spiritually mature because of her intake and concentration on doctrine.}
{Note: Akouo means not only to listen and hear, but to concentrate on and accept and obey what is being said.}
{Martha
the Worker and Negative to Listening to Doctrine}
40~~But,
in contrast {to Mary's interest in doctrinal teaching}
Martha
was saddened with the overburden {perispao}
with
all the servings {diakonia},
so
she burst in loudly {ephistemi} upon Him and said,
"Lord,
don't you care {accusing Him of favoring her sister}
that
my sister has deserted/forsaken {kataleipo}
me
{making a martyr out of herself}
to
serve alone?
{diakoneo - an present active infinitive -
meaning it is HER purpose to do this}
Tell
HER NOW {this is a command}
to
assist/'take hold with me and along with' me
{sunantilambanomai}."
{Note: Perispao was used for a woman with a sad expression on her face. A 'worry-wart'. Diakonia is the word from which deacon is derived. It means to serve others. Ephistemi means to burst in a room making a loud noise and the person is usually angry when doing this.}
{Note: Martha is a believer, but she has mental attitude sins. She is never relaxed. She is doing all the work, but the syntax indicates that she is doing what she WANTS to be doing. She represents the type of person who wants to 'work, work, work' for the Lord - anything to NOT have to listen to the teaching of the Word. Here her bullying has had no effect on her sister Mary who wanted to listen to the Lord's teaching. So, she is trying to pressure the Lord to bully Mary for her! This continues to be repeated over and over, any time a pastor is COMMANDED to go make X do this! They are WRONG but won't listen to me, YOU tell them! She gets to the point of commanding the Lord and showing off her vocabulary in doing so.}
41~~And
Jesus 'had an answer'/'gave a discerning answer
from
the ultimate source of Himself' {apokrinomai} and said to her,
"Martha,
Martha, {doubling here demonstrates affection}
you
are 'worried from an unstable mind'/
'no
relaxed mental attitude' {merimnao}
and
'physically troubled from your worry' {turbazo}
about
many things."
{Note: Apokrinomai means to discern from the ultimate source of your own inner resources. This is knowledge of bible doctrine in the soul resulting in discernment. Jesus Christ is discerning from his own inner resources of his humanity, through the doctrine in his own soul to give the divine viewpoint answer here.}
{Note: Jesus responds with compound verbs of his own. Merimnao means to have 'inner worry'. To be worried in your mind an not relaxed. Turbazo means to have physical signs caused by your worry - wrinkles in the forehead, upset stomach, grouchy . . . that kind of thing.}
{Jesus
States What is Most Important for Believers - Intake of the Word}
42~~"But
one thing {learning doctrine}
keeps
on being absolutely necessary.
Mary
has chosen
the
'most important'/good {agathos}
part
{to concentrate and absorb the Word};
which
{doctrine resident in her soul}
will
absolutely not {ouk}
be
taken away from the ultimate source of her."
{Note: Agathos means 'good of intrinsic value'. The intake of the Word (in fellowship and under the filling of the Holy Spirit in the Church Age) is good of intrinsic value - divine good. Doctrine resident in our souls is NEVER taken from us. When we move into phase III - eternity future - we will take our bible doctrine in our souls with us.}
