I. Teaching in the temple (21:37–38)
I. Teaching in the temple (21:37–38)
Luke rounds off this part of his story by telling us of Jesus’ custom at this time. He taught in the temple by day and lodged on the mount called Olivet by night. If the verb ēulizeto is used strictly, the meaning will be that Jesus camped out or bivouacked on the mount. But we cannot insist on this, as the term is sometimes used of more permanent dwelling and there were villages in the area.
7. The crucifixion (22:1 – 23:56)
Throughout the crucifixion story Luke has many parallels with the other Synoptists, but he also has a good deal of information from his own source. Interestingly he sometimes shares matter with John. He emphasizes the innocence of Jesus and the fulfilment of Scripture (which, of course, means the working out of God’s purpose).
