TeachingMatthew 12:22–45; Mark 3:20–30; Luke 11:14–36

TeachingMatthew 21:23–27; Mark 11:27–33; Luke 20:1–8
In the temple, religious leaders challenge Jesus about his authority. Instead of giving the answer they demand straight away, Jesus asks about John’s baptism and exposes their unwillingness to respond honestly.
TeachingMatthew 22:15–22; Mark 12:13–17; Luke 20:19–26
Religious leaders asked Jesus a loaded question about paying tax to Caesar. In his reply, Jesus exposed their trap and made a clear distinction between what belongs to Caesar and what belongs to God.
TeachingMatthew 22:23–33; Mark 12:18–27; Luke 20:27–40

Jesus warns the crowd, his disciples, and all who hear him about religious leaders whose public religion looks important while their actions harm others.
TeachingMark 4:21–25; Luke 8:16–18
Jesus uses the picture of a lamp to teach about hearing carefully. In both Mark and Luke, light and hidden things lead into a warning: pay close attention to what Jesus says and to how you hear it.
TeachingLuke 1:1–4
Luke begins by explaining why he is writing. Before telling about Jesus, he gives a careful introduction that shows he has gathered what was passed on and written so his reader can know the certainty of what he has learned.

In this part of Luke, Jesus speaks directly to his disciples and describes a way of life shaped by God’s values.
TeachingLuke 11:37–12:12; Luke 12:22–34; Luke 12:49–13:5

TeachingJohn 1:1–18
