Read Luke 8.1-21. In 8.1-21: Jesus, proclaimer of the word of God. In verses 1-3: These verses are Lukan summary, concluding the section that began in 6.20 without parallels in Mark's gospel. Mary Magdalene and Joanna are mentioned later among the first witnesses to the resurrection (24.10), see also 23.49, 55). In verses 4-8: see also Mk 4.1-9; Mt13.1-9. In verses 9-10: In accord with Isa 6, the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God is both revealed and hidden because of divine judgment (see 19.42; Acts 13.40-41; 28.26-28). In verses 11-15: Luke identifies the seed as the word of God, revealing the will of God and emphasizing growth as active obedience (8.21). Endurance is not merely waiting, but withstanding persecution and rejections (21.12-19). In verses 16-18: The secret things Jesus taught are quickly public, never mere private pieties. In verses 19-21: Jesus' true kindred, like Abraham's children (3.7-9), are identified by fidelity, not bloodlines. Comments or Questions..
