TSNTyndale Study Notes:

18:22 The man’s love of his riches revealed that he had not perfectly obeyed God; he did not love God or others in the way that God requires (10:25-28). Love of riches is a form of idolatry (Eph 5:5; Col 3:5).

TTNTyndale Theme Notes:

Rich and Poor in the Gospel of Luke

Throughout Luke’s Gospel, a reversal of worldly fortunes characterizes entrance into, or exclusion from, the Kingdom of God. Mary announced that God would lift up the poor and humble and bring down the rich and powerful (1:52-53). Jesus announced at Nazareth that the gospel is “Good News to the poor” (4:18). He pronounced blessings on the poor and hungry, and woes against the rich and satisfied (6:20-26). This was a reversal of conventional wisdom, which held that God had blessed the rich and cursed the poor.

A number of Jesus’ parables severely warn against the danger of riches. The parable of the rich fool (12:13-21) reveals the consequence of storing up treasures on earth instead of having a rich relationship with God. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus (16:19-31) shows the eternal cost of ignoring the poor and helpless while enjoying the good things in life. The rich man who asked Jesus the way to eternal life was devastated when Jesus said he must sell all that he had and give to the poor (18:18-23).

Who are the poor in Luke’s Gospel? Are they the physically poor or those that are poor in spirit (cp. Matt 5:3)? Almost certainly it is both. The physically poor, who have very little, are naturally dependent on God for their needs. The rich and powerful are likely to be self-sufficient, forgetting their need for God. It is impossible for rich people to enter God’s Kingdom as long as they trust in their riches to get them there (16:25-26). God accepts those who put their faith in him alone.

Passages for Further Study

Matt 5:3; Luke 1:52-53; 4:18; 6:20-25; 12:13-34; 14:12-23; 16:19-31; 18:18-30


UTNuW Translation Notes:

ἀκούσας δὲ, ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ

/having/_heard and ¬the Jesus said ˱to˲_him

Alternate translation: “When Jesus heard the ruler say that, he responded”

ἔτι ἕν σοι λείπει

still one_‹thing› ˱to˲_you /is/_lacking

Alternate translation: “You still need to do one more thing” or “There is one thing that you have not yet done”

πάντα ὅσα ἔχεις, πώλησον

all as_much_as ˱you˲_/are/_having sell

Alternate translation: “Sell all your possessions” or “Sell everything that you own”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πτωχοῖς

˱to˲_/the/_poor

Jesus is using the adjective poor as a noun in order to indicate a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “to people who are poor”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

δεῦρο, ἀκολούθει μοι

come /be/_following ˱after˲_me

As in 5:27, to follow Jesus means to be one of his disciples. Alternate translation: “come with me as my disciple”
