Luke 5:33-39 Levi’s banquet which was attended by all kinds of tax collectors and what Luke calls “others” and the scribes call them “sinners.” Jesus attended all that and he stood up, as well, to defend his disciples in the face of religious critics.

Luke 5:27-32 For those who profess Christ—if we have been attending church for very long, we become accustomed to using Christianese. Do you know what I’m saying by that? Christian jargon.

And when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, ‘Lord if you will, you can make me clean.’ And Jesus stretched out his hand…

The devil tried to tempt him, the people of Nazareth tried to kill him, the people of Capernaum, they tried to keep him all to themselves. But Jesus resisted temptation, he escaped from harm, he stayed focused on…
