Luke Chapter 5

Chapter 5 (Long Question) 25 minutes

1) a) Give an account of the call of Levi to be a disciple of Jesus including the feast held at Levi’s house. [6]

Chp 5:27-32

Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, called to him to follow Him.

Levi got up, left everything and followed Jesus.

Levi had a big feast in his house and invited Jesus, many tax collectors and other people.

Some Pharisees and teachers of the Law complained to Jesus’ disciples and asked why He ate and drank with the tax collectors and other outcasts.

Jesus answered that people who are well do not need a doctor but only those who are sick.

Jesus told them that He had come not to call the respectable to repent but the outcasts.

b) Mention another tax-collector whose house Jesus went to. Describe what happened in his house. [7]

Chp 19:1-10

Jesus was passing through Jericho and there was a rich chief tax collector there named Zacchaeus.

He was a little man, and because he could not see Jesus who was passing by, he ran ahead of the crowd and climbed a sycamore tree.

Jesus saw him and called to him to come down because he was going to his house that day.

Zacchaeus came down and welcomed Jesus with joy into his house.

People who saw what happened started complaining and said that Jesus had gone as a guest to the home of a sinner.

Zacchaeus told Jesus he would give half of his belongings to the poor and if he had cheated anyone, he would pay back four times as much.

Jesus told Z that salvation had come upon his home because of his faith.

c) Comment on why the Jews hated the tax collectors in those days [2]

(SPM 2001)

Pg A29 in textbk

Tax collectors were hated by the Jews for 3 main reasons :

they collected money for the Romans who were ruling over Israel and Jews hated being under the ruling power of the Romans.

They were dishonest and collected more money from the people than they paid to the Romans. Thus they became rich at the expense of their fellow Jews.

The nature of their work meant that they were in frequent contact with Gentiles and that made them ceremonially unclean.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. a) Describe the incident of Mary and Joseph going to Jerusalem for the Passover and Jesus being found in the Temple when he was twelve years old. [11]

Luke 2:41-52

Incident of Mary and Joseph going to Jerusalem

Every year Mary and Joseph went to Jerusalem for the Passover Festival.

When Jesus was 12 years old, they went to the festival as usual.

When they started back home, Jesus stayed behind. Mary and J thought he was with the group traveling back.

They looked for him among friends and relatives after traveling a whole day

They went back to Jerusalem and on the 3^rd day found him among the Jewish teachers in the Temple, listening to the teachers and asking questions

All who heard him were amazed at his intelligent answers

Mary and J were astonished when they saw him. Mary asked Jesus why he had done this to them because they had been terribly worried trying to find him.

And Jesus answered, “why did you have to look for me? Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”

Mary and J did not understand his answer

Jesus went back with his parents to Nazareth and remained obedient to them and Mary treasured all these things in her heart.

Jesus grew both in body and wisdom and in favor with God and men.
