Luke 10:1  "...Lord appointed seventy others also...sent them two by two...where He Himself was about to go" Just like He sent out the twelve.  I think this may have been the goal, and the twelve was a trial run.  Doesn't say, but I would bet the twelve were not among the seventy so they could …

Luke 9:44-45  "Let these words sink down into your ears...they did not understand this saying...they were afraid to ask Him..." I think after Jesus asked the disciples who they and others thought He was, He decided He needed to focus His disciples on the fact that He was the Messiah, but that He wasn't going …

Luke 9:21-22  "...warned and commanded them...tell...no one...Son of Man must suffer many things...and be killed...raised the third day" I think this is the reason Jesus always told people to tell no one what had happened.  He knew the people did not understand what He was there to do, that the Messiah was not going to …

Luke 8:22  "...on a certain day..." Marks of how the scriptures were written.  Personal memory may not be precise.  I can never remember exact dates of past experiences myself unless I have something to tie them to.  But the importance lies in what happened. 23  "...He fell asleep..." Jesus was susceptible to the frailties of …

Luke 8:1  "...He went through every city and village, preaching..." One of His methods.  He began by going into the synagogues.  Not sure how far down the list this method is.  He used several over the course of the three and a half years.  But all with the same intent and message, to bring people …
