Read Luke 16.10-18. These verses indicate a diverse collection of sayings (see Mt 6.24; 11.12-13; 5.18; 19.9), which Luke uses to emphasize Jesus' radical message concerning wealth (vv. 13-14), self-justification (vv. 16-18). In verses 14-15: The Pharisees are treated as Jesus' adversaries at this point in the story (see also 18.9-14, but contrast Acts 15.5; 23.6-10). In verse 16: The contrast between the eras of the law and the prophets and the proclaimed kingdom of God again magnifies John's role (7.28) but also stresses the "constraint" or force on all to enter the kingdom. Jesus' purposeful mission confronts all with the force of God's rule. Comments or Questions..
