Of all the parables Jesus spoke, he explicitly explained very few. As you read this parable and others in Luke\u2019s writings, try to think of how they would have been received by the original hearers. What was Jesus\u2019 point in the parable? Also notice Luke\u2019s progressive reveal of the true nature of Jesus Christ: His authority, His power, and ultimately His deity. The disciples\u2019 grappling with Jesus\u2019 identity is not unlike our own determinations.

But these have no root; they&nbsp;believe for a while, and in time of testing&nbsp;fall away.&nbsp;<sup>14&nbsp;<\/sup>And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but&nbsp;as they go on their way they are choked by the&nbsp;cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature.&nbsp;<sup>15&nbsp;<\/sup>As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and&nbsp;bear fruit&nbsp;with patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Lamp Under a Jar<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>16&nbsp;<\/sup>\u201cNo one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light.&nbsp;<sup>17&nbsp;<\/sup>For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.&nbsp;<sup>18&nbsp;<\/sup>Take care then how you hear,&nbsp;for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jesus&#8217; Mother and Brothers<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>19&nbsp;<\/sup>Then his mother and&nbsp;his brothers&nbsp;came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd.&nbsp;<sup>20&nbsp;<\/sup>And he was told, \u201cYour mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>21&nbsp;<\/sup>But he answered them,&nbsp;\u201cMy mother and my brothers are those&nbsp;who hear the word of God and do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jesus Calms a Storm<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>22&nbsp;<\/sup>One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them,&nbsp;\u201cLet us go across to the other side of&nbsp;the lake.\u201d&nbsp;So they set out,&nbsp;<sup>23&nbsp;<\/sup>and as they sailed he fell asleep.

I beg you, do not torment me.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>29&nbsp;<\/sup>For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him.

So he gave them permission.&nbsp;<sup>33&nbsp;<\/sup>Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into&nbsp;the lake and drowned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>34&nbsp;<\/sup>When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.&nbsp;<sup>35&nbsp;<\/sup>Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting&nbsp;at the feet of Jesus,&nbsp;clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.&nbsp;<sup>36&nbsp;<\/sup>And those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed&nbsp;man had been healed.&nbsp;<sup>37&nbsp;<\/sup>Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes&nbsp;asked him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned.&nbsp;<sup>38&nbsp;<\/sup>The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,&nbsp;<sup>39&nbsp;<\/sup>\u201cReturn to your home, and&nbsp;declare how much God has done for you.\u201d&nbsp;And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jesus Heals a Woman and Jairus&#8217;s Daughter<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>40&nbsp;<\/sup>Now when Jesus returned, the crowd&nbsp;welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.&nbsp;<sup>41&nbsp;<\/sup>And there came a man named Jairus, who was&nbsp;a ruler of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus&#8217; feet, he implored him to come to his house,&nbsp;<sup>42&nbsp;<\/sup>for he had&nbsp;an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Jesus went, the people&nbsp;pressed around him.&nbsp;<sup>43&nbsp;<\/sup>And there was a woman&nbsp;who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her&nbsp;living on physicians,&nbsp;she could not be healed by anyone.&nbsp;<sup>44&nbsp;<\/sup>She came up behind him and touched&nbsp;the fringe of his garment, and&nbsp;immediately her discharge of blood ceased.&nbsp;<sup>45&nbsp;<\/sup>And Jesus said,&nbsp;\u201cWho was it that touched me?\u201d&nbsp;When all denied it, Peter&nbsp;said, \u201cMaster, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!\u201d&nbsp;<sup>46&nbsp;<\/sup>But Jesus said,&nbsp;\u201cSomeone touched me, for I perceive that&nbsp;power has gone out from me.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>47&nbsp;<\/sup>And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.&nbsp;<sup>48&nbsp;<\/sup>And he said to her,&nbsp;\u201cDaughter,&nbsp;your faith has made you well;&nbsp;go in peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>49&nbsp;<\/sup>While he was still speaking, someone from&nbsp;the ruler&#8217;s house came and said, \u201cYour daughter is dead;&nbsp;do not trouble&nbsp;the Teacher any more.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>50&nbsp;<\/sup>But Jesus on hearing this answered him,&nbsp;\u201cDo not fear; only believe, and she will be well.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>51&nbsp;<\/sup>And when he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except&nbsp;Peter and&nbsp;John and James, and the father and mother of the child.&nbsp;<sup>52&nbsp;<\/sup>And all were weeping and&nbsp;mourning for her, but he&nbsp;said,&nbsp;\u201cDo not weep, for&nbsp;she is not dead but&nbsp;sleeping.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>53&nbsp;<\/sup>And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.&nbsp;<sup>54&nbsp;<\/sup>But&nbsp;taking her by the hand he called, saying,&nbsp;\u201cChild,&nbsp;arise.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>55&nbsp;<\/sup>And&nbsp;her spirit returned, and she got up at once.
