Episode notes
Passages: Luke 7:18-50; Luke 8:1-25
From prison, John the Baptist sends two disciples to ask Jesus directly whether he is the one who was to come, or whether they should keep waiting for someone else. Later, at the house of a Pharisee named Simon, a sinful woman from the city washes Jesus' feet with her tears and dries them with her hair, and Jesus tells Simon that she has been forgiven much because she loved much. Traveling through cities and villages with the twelve and a group of women who support them, Jesus teaches in parables — a sower, a lamp under a basket — before a storm rises suddenly as he and the disciples cross the lake, and he silences it with a word, leaving them asking each other who this man really is.
We are in a Luke-John Harmony. Today's episode covers: Luke 7:18-50; Luke 8:1-25 (John's Question and the Sinful Woman; Parables by the Sea and Calming the Storm).
