Chronological Life of Christ Lesson 10: Sabbath Reading, Healing Luke 4:14-30, John 4:43-54
Gospel according to Jeff (page 11) And after the two days Jesus went forth from thence into Galilee and returned in the power of the Spirit: and a fame went out concerning him through all the region round about. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country. So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast. [Formed from Luke 4:14-15 and John 4:43-45]
Jesus heads back to Galilee Intersection of the gospels and chronology John’s gospel – “and after the two days”

Jesus heads back to Galilee Intersection of the gospels and chronology John’s gospel – “and after the two days” Luke’s gospel – from temptation to now • Andrew, Peter, Philip and Nathaniel • Water to wine • First cleansing of the temple - Passover • Nicodemus and the new birth • Jesus baptizing in Judea • Samaritan woman In short: Matthew, Mark, and Luke skip at least 8 months maybe more

Jesus’ Fame Rumor Mill has done it’s work Word of Jesus is spreading ahead of Him Everyone knows Jesus Every miracle Every teaching Every conversation Every single thing He does generates more Why does this matter? And why mention it? Why in the “power of the Spirit”?
Gospel according to Jeff (page 11) And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised, To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears. And all bare him witness, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth: and they said, Is not this Joseph's son? And he said unto them, Doubtless ye will say unto me this parable, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in thine own country.
Gospel according to Jeff (page 11) And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is acceptable in his own country. But of a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land; and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian. And they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things; and they rose up, and cast him forth out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong. But he passing through the midst of them went his way. [Luke 4:16-30]
Nazareth Do you think they know about his work in Samaria? Reads Isaiah 61:1 They stare at Him. Why? Prophecy fulfilled Why are they concerned with who His father is? • They know Him • “Where He had been brought up” – Luke 4:16 • Watching someone grow up colors your view
Nazareth “Physician heal thyself!” • Elijah only sent to one widow (a Sidonian) • Elisha only healed one leper (a Syrian) What do they want Jesus to do? Why doesn’t He do it? What is He really saying with this parable? Why does this make them so mad?
Gospel according to Jeff (page 12) He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death. Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived. So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee. [John 4:46-54]
Second Sign Why does the nobleman seek Jesus? Seven Signs Why do you think this sign is mentioned by John?
