Read Luke 6.12-19. In 6.12-19: Preparing for Jesus' sayings. In verse 12: Jesus often prays at significant points in the story (3.21; 5.16; 6.12; 9.18, 28-29; 11.1; 22.41, 44-45; 23.46). In verses 13-16: The twelve are significant as apostles who are sent as ambassadors of the mission and judges of the twelve tribes of Israel, which is why Judas Iscariot had to be replaced later (22.3-6, 30, 47-53; Acts 1.15-26). In verse 17: Jesus standing to teach from a level place compares with Matthew's description that he "went up the mountain" and "sat down." The gathering crowds from many regions anticipate a momentous event (5.17). In verse 19: The power to heal is again a sign of the presence of God's spirit (4.1, 14; 5.17). Comments or Questions..
