143 | Is the widow righteous? Does it matter? | Luke 18:3 | Michael Draves | 150496 | ||
In the parable as presented in context it doesn't matter if the only point is persistance. But it would be unlikely that Jesus would be trying to teach persistant prayer for an unrighteous request. Jesus himself before giving a model prayer to the disciples said not to pray as the Gentiles do because they think they will be heard because of there many words. William R. Herzog II approaches the parable different by taking it out of the context the Gospel writer presents it in. He takes it literally as an example of how a vulnerable widow might get justice in the midst of injustice. | ||||||

145 | wrote about social justice in N.T? | John | Michael Draves | 103140 | ||
If you compare the synoptics Luke appears to have the most interest in social justice. William R. Herzog II interprets the Gospels from a social justice viewpoint with "Parables as Subversive Speech: Jesus the Pedgogue of the Oppressed" and "Jesus, Justice and the Reign of God:A Ministry of Liberation." Herzog is reliant on Bruce J. Malina who wrote "The Social Gospel of Jesus:The Kingdom of God in Mediterranean Perspective" and "Social-Science Commentary on the Synoptic Gospels." |

154 | Caiaphas's prophecy misinterpreted? | John 11:51 | Michael Draves | 103078 | ||
Caiaphas didn't consider his own words in verses 50 and 51 to be a prophecy but a statement about a way to avoid the Romans destroying the holy place and the nation according to verse 48. But his words are taken as a prophecy because he was the High Priest. The High Priest could be manipulated just like a King in Proverbs 21:1 "The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes." | ||||||
155 | Lazarus's? | John 12:1 | Michael Draves | 197826 | ||

Luke 16:23 "In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. John 12:1 Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. |

It's been twenty years since I did any Greek translation in college but I can't remember any reason to imply the object but the subjects gender and number is implied.
