Bible Study- The Gospel According to Luke EP 12 Chpt 6: 1-19 Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

My name is Ryan and I am a Bible Nerd! We continued through Luke's Gospel and have made it to Chapter 6.  In verses 1 through 11 we have two stories about breaking what the Pharisees considered things unlawful on the Sabbath which is a day of rest.  The first is when Jesus' disciples are walking down the road and are hungry so the pull the top of some grain and rub it in between their hands to thresh out the wheat. Jesus uses the story in 1st Samuel 21 of when David ate the showbread in the temple so he takes it even further and turns the grain into bread.  Next is the story of Jesus healing the man with a shriveled hand.  Yet the priest missed the miracle.  Then in verses 12 through 19, we have Jesus picking his 12 and we get ready for Luke's account of the Sermon on the Mount.
Break out your bibles and let's review these verses together!  Also, let me know what is your go-to translation.

Bible Study- The Gospel According to Luke EP 11 Chpt 5

My name is Ryan and I am a Bible Nerd! Today we read Chapter 5 of the Luke's Gospel. In this chapter, we have the story of when Jesus first meets Simon/Peter and performs a great miracle.  Jesus has Petter throw out his nets for a catch after a night of catching nothing and at the wrong time of the day to even be fishing and yet they catch so many fish that the nets start to break. They pull over a second boat and fill both to the point of sinking them both! Peter's reaction to this is that of unworthiness but Jesus calls him to be a Fisher of Man! Also in chapter 5, Jesus heals a leper with the great saying of His willingness to heal! We also have the story of the paralyzed man being let down through the roof to be healed by Jesus and the encounter that Jesus has with the Pharisees.  Lot' going on in Chapter 5 so let's get to nerding out together!
