It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever, that in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he ceased from work and rested.

Don, I agree with Roebear (Robert?) that your post #reply-4846161 was one of your best; in particular, the paragraph where you use the parent-child metaphor, since it demonstrates a Faith (that of a child in a parent) with which most people are familiar. Let's consider the life, death, and resurrection of Iesus. (Hey... if you can call Him Yeshua, then I can go back to the original Latin... ha ha... I hope you're reading this, Jane.) I have read Luke 4:16-30. Here's the few points I could come up with: 1. For a relationship to other gospels, compare Mark 6:4, Matt. 13:57, and John 4:44. 2. He beginneth to preach. The event is set earlier in Luke to become the beginning of Iesus' ministry. Ref. The Oxford Companion to the Bible, ed. Bruce M. Metzger, Michael D. Coogan (1993), p. 471. 3. Why is Iesus not honoured in His own country, by His own kin, and in His own house? Consider Luke 4:28. "The Syrians were mortal enemies of the Galileans. Thus it would have been most offensive to them that Jesus should instance how two Syrians had been preferred to all Isreal. See [Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews] XIV.159." Ref. The Original New Testament, Hugh J. Schonfield (1998), p.141. 4. I do not think this lack of honour should be used as a justification for poor treatment of Jews, either currently or historically. Were you thinking of one of these points in particular when you asked me to consider Luke 4:16-30, or was there another point. Greg
