  • Luke 4:22-5:39
  • Luke 4:22-27 – Jesus was making a point about how the Jews were rejecting Him. In times past, God had sent prophets to Gentiles and blessed them. This reminder infuriated the Jews.
  • Luke 5:22 – Some claim that Jesus never used any divine attributes while He was on the earth, but Jesus clearly demonstrated divine knowledge of the thoughts of others, not to mention that a few verses earlier, Jesus forgave sins!
