notes and stuff

Luke 5:30 ESV

And the Pharisees and their scribes grumbled at his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

(Calling Matthew ^^ / eats & drinks with them)

Luke 7:34 ESV

The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

(Difference between him & John / friend of them)

and again here at the top of Ch. 15 / pharisees a third time, but this time he receives them and eats with them.

(cf. )

v. 1

Now -

the tax collectors and sinners -

all - hyperbolic, not literal but appears to be. exaggerating with great intentionality to express the extent.

drawing near - periphrastic: imperfect & present. This was a regularity in Jesus’ ministry. It happened over and over and over again, with great frequency and consistency. A habitual experience.

to hear him. - Luke 14:35***

v. 2

the Pharisees and the scribes -

grumbled - (cf. ; , ; ; )

receives - present indicative, “in a friendly manner” BDAG, (cf. ; ), “accept” or “welcome”, he isn’t merely tolerating or enduring them; he’s completely embracing them & making them at home. the word used is MOSTLY used to express anticipation and excitement at the reception of something.

sinners - those who have lived uneffected by God’s commands, intentionally or unintentionally. Juxtaposed against the P&S… Seems to be the point, right?

and eats with - (cf. ; ; ; )
