- Jesus himself has become the sacrificial lamb or, in the words of John the Baptist, "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world" (John 1:29, 1:36), dying at the same time as the paschal lambs were being ritually slaughtered in the Temple—as prefigured by 1 Corinthians "For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us" (1 Corinthians 5:7).

Aug 17, 2022 · At the ninth hour (3:00 in the afternoon), Jesus cried out to the Father, quoting Psalm 22:1, which was a further affirmation of Jesus’ identity (Matthew 27:46). He cried out again and gave up His spirit (Matthew 27:50). The centurion at the foot of the cross was no stranger to death.

In the Gospel of Luke, Luke tells us that when the centurion at the cross of Christ saw Jesus die, “he glorified God, saying, ‘Certainly this was a righteous man’” (Luke 23:47, NKJV). Both Matthew and Mark say that the centurion proclaimed that Jesus was “the Son of God” (Matt 27:54; Mark 15:39). While some maintain that Luke changed the centurion’...
When talking about the purpose of the Gospel of Luke, we must remember that Luke also wrote the Book of Acts and that the two books go together. Many students and scholars have proposed different purposes for Luke’s two-volume work.1 There is general agreement, however, that one of the purposes of Luke is to show that the gospel goes out to Gentile...
Bovon says that the first sermon by the Lord in Luke not only occurs at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry, it also makes a programmatic statement. Nazareth, which represents all of Israel, rejects the message of Jesus from the start.3 This, however, goes too far. In Luke 2:34, Simeon predicted the falling away of Israel. But this falling away is onl...
Not only does Luke differ from Matthew and Mark when recording the words of the centurion at the cross, there are other differences among the Synoptics as well. These differences include the mention of other military personnel, as well as what the centurion sees and hears. As with the case of different statements by the centurion, these differences...
In Luke 23:40, the repentant thief asks the other thief, who is reviling Jesus, if he does not fear God. Since the latter is mocking Jesus, this indicates that he does not.25 The implication is that the repentant thief does fear God. He feels that he and his fellow criminal suffer “justly” (or righteously, 23:41; dikaiōs).26 Jesus, on the other ha...
Crump states that in Luke there are three instances of people who see God at work in Jesus at the cross and three instances of people who do not. Those who see are the repentant criminal, the people, and the centurion. Those that do not see are the Jewish leaders, the soldiers, and the unrepentant criminal.34 The three blind groups are connected by...
A. Jesus Was a Righteous Man
Luke differs from both Matthew and Mark in the confession of the centurion. The centurion in Matthew and Mark proclaims that Jesus was the “Son of God.” In Luke, he says that Christ was righteous.37 What is the meaning of the word righteous? Some maintain that it means “innocent.”38 Bock says this is the primary meaning because of the context of Luke 23 where Jesus is shown to be innocent through a number of legal proceedings.39Pilate, Herod, the repentant thief, the centurion, and Joseph all...
B. Jesus Was the Son of God
The phrase “Son of God” in both Matthew and Mark can have more than one meaning. From a Christian perspective, it can have an ontological meaning. From a Jewish perspective, it can have a royal meaning. Luke’s use of righteous can also have more than one meaning. One reason Luke uses it may be to show that Jesus was not only righteous but also innocent and was therefore who He claimed to be.53 In all the Synoptics, the confession of the centurion has a deeper meaning. In Matthew and Mark, the...
C. Jesus Glorified God
Of the three Synoptics, only Luke mentions that the centurion glorifies God upon the death of Jesus. The phrase “glorify God” is significant in the Gospel of Luke in that it always refers to an event in which God has revealed Himself and His power, almost always in the form of a miracle of healing. This power of God is always directed towards the “poor” and needy.60In each case people respond by “glorifying God.” In all but one case, the people glorify God because of what they see God doing i...
In Luke’s account, the centurion at the cross continues themes the reader has seen already in Naaman in the Lord’s sermon at Nazareth. The centurion’s actions and words are a rebuke to the unbelief of some Jews. Gentiles are able to respond to the revelation of God. He is associated with those who fear God, and he is one of the “poor” outsiders. Go...

Sep 15, 2020 · In Luke 7:1-10 (also found in Matthew 8:5-13) we see Jesus healing the servant of a faithful centurion. What is the story of Jesus and the Centurion? When Jesus entered Capernaum, some Jewish elders came to him and told him of a centurion’s servant who was ill. The centurion sent these elders to ask Jesus to come to his home and heal his servant.
