money – one 500, the other 50. Jesus asked which of the

Pharisees, would they save their son or an ox if it fell in a

He said, when invited for a meal, let the owner give you a
seat of honor that is reserved for important and honorable
guests. Read verse 11. Jesus advised his host to invite the
poor, cripples, and the blind who cannot invite you, as they
have nothing to give back for generosity.
A man said to Jesus, “How happy are those who will sit
down at the feast in the Kingdom of God” (verse 15).
God has invited all people to the great feast of the Kingdom
of God.
Jesus lights the world, looking for sinners who are lost
because they are precious in God’s sight.
Jesus then told the story of a father who had two sons. The
younger was given his share of inheritance he had
requested.
His father kissed him and celebrated his return. The father
announced to his guests that the son who was lost is now
found. – - The one who was dead is now live. The elder son
was angry and unhappy because his father had never held a
celebration for him, inspite of his hard work and obedience.
His father told him “my son you are always here with me,
and everything I have is yours”. We are just celebrating the
return of the lost son.

Significance
“Peter went out and wept bitterly” (Vs. 62). Weeping was a
sign of repentance
After being taken to the house of the High Priest, the next
morning Jesus was taken to the Jewish religious council or
court; called the Sanhedrin.
They all asked him if he was the messiah. Jesus told they
wouldn’t believe whatever he says. But “ the Son of Man will
be seated on the right hand of Almighty God.” (Vs. 69).
The second court was the Roman court. The judge was
Pilate, the Roman Governor.
The Jewish leaders, said “He saved others; let him save
himself if he is the Messiah whom God has chosen” (vs. 35);
Solders mocked Jesus and said “Save yourself if you are the
king of Jews” and one criminal hanged with Jesus mocked
Jesus and told Him “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself
and me”.
Jesus cried out with a loud voice “ Father, into they hands I
commit my spirit”. At this shout Jesus died.
They said “ Why are you looking among the dead for one
who is alive? He is not here; he has been raised. ”
The women went and told the 11 disciples, who did not
believe them.
When Jesus, “took the bread and said the blessings; then he
broke the bread and gave it to them”, the disciples
recognized Jesus but he vanished out of their sight (vs. 30-

that jesus has risen.
