E. Jesus’ teaching in parables 8:1-21The present section of Luke follows the same basic pattern as the former one. There is a block of teaching (Luke 8:1-21; cf. Luke 6:12-49) followed by another account of Jesus’ mighty works (Luke 8:22-56; cf. ch. 7). read more
This was evidently a favorite saying of Jesus’ (cf. Matthew 5:15; Mark 4:21; Luke 11:33). In view of the context here the lamp refers to a person who has the light of God’s Word within him or her. Such a person has a responsibility to let the light illuminate those around him rather than concealing it from them. read more

Jesus concluded by urging His disciples to listen carefully to what He taught them. If they believed what He told them, God would give them more truth. However if they disbelieved, God would remove what truth they thought they had from them. read more
4. The true family of Jesus 8:19-21 (cf. Matthew 12:46-50; Mark 3:31-35)Apparently Luke moved this teaching from Jesus’ earlier controversy with the Pharisees over His authority to provide a conclusion for this section of teaching (cf. Matthew 12:22-50; Mark 3:19-35). It continues the theme of the importance of obedience that has been dominant in the preceding context.Jesus was not dishonoring His human family members but honoring those who obey God. Some people feel close to God when they read... read more
Evidently Jesus mentioned crossing the lake to His disciples before and after He entered the boat (cf. Matthew 8:18; Mark 4:35). Jesus’ command to cross constituted a guarantee that they would arrive safely. The other side was the east side (cf. Luke 8:26). Luke introduced the fact that Jesus fell asleep before he mentioned the storm breaking, perhaps to heighten the contrast between Jesus’ peaceful condition and the storm. He stressed the severity of the storm by mentioning the wind three... read more
1. The stilling of a storm 8:22-25 (cf. Matthew 8:18, 23-27; Mark 4:35-41)This story pictures Jesus in complete control of Himself and His environment. Its climax is not the stilling of the storm but the disciples’ question about Jesus’ identity (Luke 8:25). This is the first miracle that Luke recorded that did not involve a person. It showed that Jesus had the power of God over nature that God demonstrated in the Exodus (Exodus 14; cf. Psalms 89:8-9; Psalms 93:3-4; Psalms 106:8-9; Psalms... read more
