The Gospel of Luke – A Parody

Luke 22:31

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you,

that he may

sift you as wheat:

Jesus did not say this.

Luke said it!

How would Luke know that “Satan hath desired to have you?”

This statement in verse 22:31 of the gospel of Luke is not in any other gospel!

T0 sift means to separate and retain the coarse parts of (flour, ashes, etc.) with a sieve.

Luke was not an apostle of Jesus Christ, but was a follower of Paul/Saul

and had been brought up with Saul and Herod the tetrarch

as stated below in Acts 13:1 and Romans 16:21 below!

In fact, Luke seems to be a relative of Saul/Paul!

Acts 13:1

Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers;

as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen,

which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

The phrase “brought up” can have another meaning

other than the familial-type !

Romans 16:21
Timothy, my fellow worker, sends his greetings to you, as do Lucius, Jason and Sosipater, my relatives.

Colossians 4:14
Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.

Here is another reference to Luke. Is Luke speaking here or Paul or are they one and the same anyway!

2 Timothy 4:11
Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

=========================================

Luke made many additions to his “gospel” that are nowhere found in any of the other gospels!

The multitude of Luke’s apologists attest to the reliability of his history and his gospel

in support of the first two gospels of Matthew and Mark,

but I believe he purposefully

sifted the events and the characters to eviscerate and mock the truth

about Jesus Christ and his disciples.

I think Luke had a great deal to do with the synoptic gospels also!

It is obvious that Luke had within his grasp

the other synoptic gospels of Matthew and Mark to elevate

and he had the gospel of John within his grasp to degrade!

There are too many coincidental reversals buffeting against other bible testimony

in the Gospel of Luke

in support of his own rendition and the synoptic version of Jesus Christ and the disciples

and purposefully against the Gospel of John in just about every possible way!

You gotta wonder why!

The article below could be partially why. Please read:

Indulgences and the Parable of Usury

And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother,

casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

Mark 1:16

Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea:

for they were fishers.¹⁷And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me,

and I will make you to become fishers of men.

Luke 5:1-11

1And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,2And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.3And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s,

and prayed him that he would

thrust out a little from the land.

And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship

.4Now when he had left speaking,

he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.5And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.6And when they had this done,

they inclosed a great multitude of fishes:

and their net brake.

7And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.8When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.9For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:10And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon.

And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

11And when they had brought their ships to land,

they forsook all, and followed him.

=========================

Someone please tell me where this story came from!

Luke wasn’t even there.

Why on earth would Peter say, “Depart from me I’m a sinful man,” because they caught a lot of fish?

Why would Jesus “prayed him that he would

thrust out a little from the land?“

Does it even make sense? This is total nonsense! It’s craziness!

Why would they “forsake all,” because they caught a bunch of fish?

==========================

This is mocking the event told in the Gospel of John!

And what does catching a bunch of fish have to do with sin?

In fact, what does the Synoptic Jesus mean by the phrase “catch men”?

CATCH MEN AT WHAT?

SIN!!!!

=================

IN the gospel of John after Jesus had been crucified and arisen

He visited the apostles behind closed doors,

and then he visited them again 8 days later when Thomas was present and said:

John 20:27-29

²⁷Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand,

and thrust it into my side:

and be not faithless, but believing.

²⁸And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.

²⁹Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed:

blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

He came to visit the disciples the third time at the sea of Galilee.

They were fishing and had not caught any fish all night. Jesus arrives and asks:

John 21:5-5

5….Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.

⁶And he said unto them,

Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find.

They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.⁷Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.⁸And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.⁹As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.¹⁰Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.¹¹Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many,

yet was not the net broken.

Please compare these tag lines that are underlined and in bold print

with the tag lines in Luke 5:1-11 above!

Also, if the net brake after catching a multitude of fish,

as proposed in the gospel of Luke,

wouldn’t the fish escape?

But no, they fill two ships to the point of nearly sinking,

which is highly improbable——–

which I believe is the point that Luke is trying to entertain in the verses below.

Luke 5:6-7

6And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes:

and their net brake.

7And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them.

And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

Luke is ridiculing the meetings Jesus Christ had with his apostles after he had arisen!

What is interesting also about both ships that began to sink

could be referring to the demise of Jerusalem and Rome

and/or

the first two synoptic gospels!

=====================================================

In the Gospel of John,

Jesus meets his disciples after John the Baptist testifies to them about Jesus

and what he witnessed

and the sign of His baptism and then they follow Him!

John 1:35-42

35Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;36And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith,

Behold the Lamb of God!

37And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

38Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?39He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.40One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.41He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.42And he brought him to Jesus.

And when Jesus beheld him, he said,

Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas,

which is by interpretation,

A stone.

Why did Luke concoct his story of how the disciples began following Jesus?

Here is what the gospel of Matthew and Mark say about the first encounter with Jesus:

Matthew 4:18-22

¹⁸And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.¹⁹And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.²⁰And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.²¹And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.²²And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him

Mark 1:16-20

¹⁶Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.¹⁷And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.¹⁸And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.¹⁹And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.²⁰And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

——————————————–

Lets compare the gospel of Matthew and Mark to Luke:

First of all in both gospels above, Jesus walks up to them and they immediately leave and follow him with out any preaching, or without any sign.

They just see Jesus and he calls them and tells them they can be fishers of men and they go.

In the gospel of Luke Jesus preaches on the boat to a bunch of people and gets the men to cast their nets into the water for a big catch that breaks the net and fills two ships

and because of the humongous catch of fish

Simon Peter realizes that he is a sinful man and follows Jesus

because Jesus says he can be a fisher of men.

Is that all it takes to follow

is catching a bunch of fish?

What happens when you catch a whale?

Do you follow the whaler?

or the whale?

Or did Peter keep seeing his face on each fish they caught?

 

‘Duck Dynasty’s’ Phil Robertson: ‘I’m a sinfulman’

All three synoptic versions of how the disciples forsake all and follow Jesus

don’t even agree

and are ridiculous!
