What Scripture say is so – is so !! • We are not free to ignore it or change it. • There is much detail that Scripture does not elaborate upon. • -- They are left ‘vacant’ since they are not necessary to the story, point or principle that God is communicating to us. • -- The ‘missing’ detail can often be useful to our understanding of the times, and customs of what Scripture says and can be ascertained using historical information and good use of logic and God directed common sense to fill in those details. • We are free to do this so long as: • We do not obscure God’s message contained in what He has revealed to us in Scripture. • We do not alter, revise, or explain away what Scripture does say in order to fit our “theory” into God’s account. • We recognize that anything and everything other than what Scripture actually reveals is only a possibility no matter how ‘probable’ it seems to be.

(38) The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. (39) And the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. (40) You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? (41) But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.

For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. (47) Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. (48) So you are witnesses and you consent to the deeds of your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. (49) Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’ (50) so that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation, (51) from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.

  12. 51 WORSHIP OF DETAILS AND NEGLECT OF THINGS THAT MATTER (Lk 11:37-44) [Barclay] • After Jesus had spoken a Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He came in and reclined at the table. The Pharisee was surprised when he saw that he did not dip his hands in water before he ate. The Lord said to him, "You Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are full of grasping and wickedness. Fools! Did he who made the outside not make the inside also? But cleanse the things that are within--and look you--all things will be pure for you. • But woe to you Pharisees! because you give tithes of mint and rue and every herb and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done without omitting the others. Woe to you Pharisees! because you love the chief seats in the synagogues and greetings in the market places. Woe to you! because you are like tombs which are not seen, and the men who walk over them do not know that they are doing it.”

Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? (41) But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you. • As usual every littlest detail was worked out. • To the Pharisee, to omit the slightest detail of this was to sin. • Washing hands before eating was not a matter of cleanliness but of the ceremonial law. • The law laid it down that before a man ate he must wash his hands in a certain way and that he must also wash them between the courses.

Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? (41) But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you. • Large stone vessels of water were specially kept for this purpose because ordinary water might be unclean; • The amount of water used must be at least a quarter of a log, that is, enough to fill one and a half egg-shells. • The water must be poured over the hands beginning at the tips of the fingers and running right up to the wrist. • Then the palm of each hand must be cleansed by rubbing the fist of the other into it. • Finally, water must again be poured over the hand, this time beginning at the wrist and running down to the fingertips. • Jesus' points out that if they were as particular about cleansing their hearts as they were about washing their hands, they would be better men.

These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. • This is an accusation of hypocrisy — focusing on externals and avoiding internals. • Lk 12:1…Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. • There were certain dues which the meticulously orthodox would never omit to pay. • The first fruits of the soil. • The first fruits of the seven kinds - wheat, barley, vines, fig-trees, pomegranates, olives and honey - were offered in the Temple • There was the Terumah (<H8641>). • The first fruits were given to God, but the Terumah was a contribution to the upkeep of the priests. It was the presentation of the first fruits of every growing thing. The amount to be given was 1/50 of the total yield.

These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. • There was the tithe. • The tithe was paid directly to the Levites, who, in turn, paid a tithe of what they received to the priests. It was one-tenth of "everything that can be used as food and is cultivated and grows out of the earth." • The meticulousness of the Pharisees in tithing is shown by the fact that even the law said it was not necessary to tithe rue. • No matter what their inner hearts and feelings were like, however much they neglected justice and forgot love, they never omitted the tithe. • One way to demonstrate that they were clean on the inside would be their willingness to give material things to the poor. Not that the alms would accomplish it, but the alms gives evidence to their faith (cf. James 2:14-18).

  17. 51 WORSHIP OF DETAILS AND NEGLECT OF THINGS THAT MATTER (Luke 11:43 ESV) • (43) Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. • The chief seats at the synagogue were the seats out in front facing the audience. • In the congregation itself the best seats were at the front and they decreased in honor the further back they got. The advantage of these seats was that they could be seen by all! • The more exaggerated the respect of the greetings the Pharisees received in the streets the better they were pleased.

For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.“ • Num 19:16 Whoever in the open field touches someone who was killed with a sword or who died naturally, or touches a human bone or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. • As a Jew, if you touched a dead thing that would make you ceremonially defiled. • To be unclean was to be debarred from all religious worship. You couldn’t observe Passover, etc. • Whether a man contacted a grave site unknowingly or not, did not matter; touching a dead thing or it’s grave made him unclean. • They whitewashed tombs near holy days so that people would not accidentally stumble on the tomb and then be defiled and unable to celebrate the festivities. • To call a Jew a “whitewashed tomb” was the strongest language to use against a formal Jew.

  22. 51 THE SINS OF THE LEGALISTS (Lk 11:45-54) [Barclay] A scribe answered, "Teacher, when you talk like that you are insulting us." Jesus said, "Woe to you scribes too! because you bind burdens upon men that are hard to bear and you yourselves do not lay a finger on the burdens. Woe to you! because you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed! So you are witnesses that you agree with the deeds of your fathers, because they killed them and you build them tombs. Because of this God in his wisdom said, 'I will send prophets and apostles to them, some of whom they will slay and persecute, so that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, will be required from this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias who perished between the altar and the Temple.' Yes, I tell you, it will be required from this generation. Woe to you scribes! You did not enter in yourselves and you hindered those who were trying to enter." As Jesus went away from them, the scribes and Pharisees began to watch him intensely, and to try to provoke him to discuss on many subjects, for they were laying traps for him, to hunt for something out of his mouth which they could use as a charge against him.

For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. • The scribes (lawyers) were the “experts” in the law; • They laid upon men the thousand and one burdens of the ceremonial law; but they did not keep them themselves, because they were experts in evasion. • It is incredible that men could ever have thought that God would have laid down such laws or that the working out of such details was a religious service and the keeping of them a matter of life and death. • It is little wonder that Jesus turned on the scribes, and that the scribes regarded him as an irreligious heretic. But that was scribal religion.

  24. 51 THE SINS OF THE LEGALISTS (Lk 11:45-46) [Barclay] • (45) One of the lawyers answered him, "Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.“ • (46) And he said, "Woe to you lawyers also! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. • The limit of a Sabbath day's journey was 2,000 cubits (1,000 yards) from a man's residence. But… • If a rope was tied across the end of the street, the end of the street became his residence and he could go 1,000 yards beyond that; • If on the Friday evening before Sabbath began, he left enough food for two meals at any given point, that point technically became his residence and he could go 1,000 yards beyond that!

For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. • To carry a burden was forbidden, but the codified written law said: • “… he who carries anything, whether it be in his right hand, or in his left hand, or in his bosom, or on his shoulder is guilty; • but he who carries anything on the back of his hand, with his foot, or with his mouth, or with his elbow, or with his ear, or with his hair, or with his money bag turned upside down, or between his money bag and his shirt, or in the fold of his shirt or in his shoe, or in his sandal is guiltless, • because he does not carry it in the usual way of carrying it out."

Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation. • The attitude of the scribes to the prophets was paradoxical. • They professed a deep admiration for the prophets. • But the only prophets they admired were dead; when they met a living one they tried to kill him. • They honored the dead prophets with tombs and memorials, but they dishonored the living ones with persecution and death.

  28. 51 THE SINS OF THE LEGALISTS (Lk 11:47-51) [Barclay] Isaiah 1:11-20 KJV  To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.  (12)  When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?  (13)  Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.  (14)  Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.  (15)  And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.  (16)  Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;  (17)  Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.  (18)  Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.  (19)  If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:  (20)  But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? (7) Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?" (8) He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? • That was the essence of the prophetic message; and it was the very antithesis of scribal teaching. • No wonder the scribes, with their external details, hated the prophets, and Jesus walked in the prophetic line.

Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation. • Abel was the first innocent victim (Gen 4:8). • He was killed because he was giving an offering of faith. • A sacrificial lamb pointing to the Cross. • Zechariah the priest (not the writing prophet), cf. Mt 23:35, was the last martyr in the Old Testament (2 Chr 24:20-21). • Remember, Chronicles was last in the Hebrew Bible. • Mat 23:34 Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town, 35 so that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.

Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation. • The murder of Zacharias is described in 2 Chr 24:20-21. • (20) Then the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood above the people, and said to them, "Thus says God, 'Why do you break the commandments of the LORD, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, he has forsaken you.'" (21) But they conspired against him, and by command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the LORD. (22) Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness that Jehoiada, Zechariah's father, had shown him, but killed his son. And when he was dying, he said, "May the LORD see and avenge!"

  39. 52 Lu 12.1‑12.59 JESUS TEACHES HIS DISCIPLES AND THE MULTITUDES – GALILEE [1] In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. [2] For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. [3] Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. [4] And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. [5] But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. [6] Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? [7] But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

  40. 52 Lu 12.1‑12.59 JESUS TEACHES HIS DISCIPLES AND THE MULTITUDES – GALILEE [8] Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: [9] But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. [10] And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. [11] And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: [12] For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. [13] And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. [14] And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? [15] And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

  41. 52 Lu 12.1‑12.59 JESUS TEACHES HIS DISCIPLES AND THE MULTITUDES – GALILEE [16] And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: [17] And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? [18] And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. [19] And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. [20] But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? [21] So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. [22] And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. [23] The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. [24] Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? [25] And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

  42. 52 Lu 12.1‑12.59 JESUS TEACHES HIS DISCIPLES AND THE MULTITUDES – GALILEE [26] If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? [27] Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. [28] If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? [29] And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. [30] For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. [31] But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

  43. 52 Lu 12.1‑12.59 JESUS TEACHES HIS DISCIPLES AND THE MULTITUDES – GALILEE [32] Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. [33] Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. [34] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. [35] Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; [36] And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. [37] Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. [38] And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. [39] And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. [40] Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

  44. 52 Lu 12.1‑12.59 JESUS TEACHES HIS DISCIPLES AND THE MULTITUDES – GALILEE [41] Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? [42] And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? [43] Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. [44] Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. [45] But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; [46] The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. [47] And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. [48] But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

  45. 52 Lu 12.1‑12.59 JESUS TEACHES HIS DISCIPLES AND THE MULTITUDES – GALILEE [49] I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? [50] But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! [51] Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: [52] For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. [53] The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

  46. 52 Lu 12.1‑12.59 JESUS TEACHES HIS DISCIPLES AND THE MULTITUDES – GALILEE [54] And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. [55] And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. [56] Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? [57] Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? [58] When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. [59] I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite. (KJV)

  47. 52 THE CREED OF COURAGE AND OF TRUST(Lk 12:1-12) • The Jewish definition of preaching – charaz (<H2737>), means stringing pearls. • This passage is a collection of pearls strung together without the close connection to each other but there are certain dominant ideas. • • Beware Hypocrisy vv. 1 – 12 • • Beware Covetousness vv. 13 – 21 • • Beware Worry vv. 22 – 34 • • Stay Diligent vv. 35 – 59 • Jesus is teaching His disciples how to operate under conditions of rejection. • The disciples are in great danger. They’ve left everything to follow this leader, only to find their national leadership rejecting him. • This chapter is unusually relevant to each of us today.

  48. 52 THE CREED OF COURAGE AND OF TRUST(Lk 12:1-12) In the meantime, when the people had been gathered together in their thousands, so that they trampled on each other, Jesus began to say first of all to his disciples, "Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. There is nothing covered up which will not be unveiled, and there is nothing secret which shall not be known. All, therefore, that you have spoken in the dark shall be heard in the light; and what you have spoken into someone's ear in the inner room will be proclaimed on the housetops. I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and who after that are not able to do anything further. I will warn you whom you are to fear--fear him who after he has killed you has authority to cast you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him! Are not five sparrows sold for 1/2 pence ? And yet not one of them is forgotten before God. But as for you--even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows. I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, him will the Son of Man acknowledge before the angels of God; but he who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God. If anyone speaks a word against the Son of Man it will be forgiven him; but he who speaks irreverently of the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. When they bring you before synagogues and rulers and those set in authority, do not worry how you will defend yourself or about what defence you will make, or about what you will say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you ought to say.” [Barclay]

  49. 52 Beware Hypocrisy, beware the leaven (Lk 12:1) • 1] In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. • [innumerable multitude] Greek: murias (G3461), myriads, or tens of thousands of people until they trampled on one another. • [his disciples] His disciples must have numbered many thousands from all parts of the country. • Here the word is used to describe a mass of people, innumerable. However many, it was a great crowd that pushed together so that they could not move about among each other.

  50. 52 Beware Hypocrisy, beware the leaven (Lk 12:1) • 1] In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. • “...beware ye the leaven”: Leaven is a common idiom in the Bible: It is always used negatively. • It is a Jewish idiom for sin; leaven corrupts by puffing up (cf. 1 Co 4:6, 18-19; 5:2). The origin of sin is pride. • In the Old Testament at Passover the children search the whole house for the leaven (sin) to get it out. • In the New Testament both Jesus and Paul use the term “leaven” several times, always negatively. • Jesus compared it with leaven, something that every Jew associated with evil (Ex 12:15-20). • Paul likewise (1 Cor.5:6-8; Gal 5:9). • Like leaven, hypocrisy soon infects the whole person.
