With the Pharisees - Part 2
Students may read Luke 14:1-14
Jesus went to the home of a Pharisee for a meal on the Sabbath. After everyone sat down, several things happened. First, Jesus healed a man with dropsy. Then, Jesus told a story about taking the lowest place at the table rather than the seat of honor. And finally, Jesus spoke about inviting people to a dinner. He said, “But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.” Remember those who cannot return your generosity.
Discussion Questions
