Tara Lee Cobble: 耶稣在布道中被一个听众打断，后者要求耶稣解决家庭财务纠纷，耶稣借此机会讲了富足愚人的比喻，指出将希望寄托在金钱上是错误的。富足愚人的比喻讲述了一个人建造新谷仓储存财富，却忽略了与上帝的关系，最终在当夜死去，财富被他人瓜分。这说明将希望寄托于物质财富是错误的，与福音背道而驰。耶稣指出人随时可能死亡，并强调为耶稣的再来做好准备，这准备的关键在于与上帝建立关系。但以理书12章和玛拉基书4章预示了两种结局：认识上帝或不认识上帝。彼得询问耶稣关于末日预备的信息是针对所有人还是仅针对门徒，耶稣用比喻再次说明，并暗示拥有更多信息意味着肩负更多责任。耶稣用仆人喂养主人的其他仆人的比喻，以及吩咐彼得喂养他的羊的例子，说明门徒因着与耶稣的亲密关系，肩负着更大的责任。彼拉多杀害了去耶路撒冷献祭的加利利人，耶稣指出苦难的程度并不能说明一个人是否在罪中生活。尽管如此，耶稣也警告说审判即将到来，悔改归向上帝是生存的唯一途径。无果的无花果树的比喻象征着当时的以色列，说明上帝对以色列的耐心和等待，以及最终可能带来的审判。园丁对无花果树的耐心象征着上帝对人的耐心，即使他们尚未结出果子。上帝既愿意砍掉没有结果的树，也愿意耐心等待尚未结果的树，这说明上帝对人的耐心和最终的审判。耶稣医治了一个被邪魔缠绕18年的妇女，并在安息日于会堂中行此神迹，这突显了耶稣的权柄和怜悯。会堂领袖与耶稣对质，耶稣斥责了他，群众欢呼雀跃，这突显了耶稣的权威和百姓对他的支持。有人问耶稣有多少人得救，耶稣没有直接回答，而是用比喻说明得救的关键在于认识上帝。人们常常不愿将审判和救赎个人化，耶稣则强调个人与上帝的关系。耶稣指出，天国里的人来自世界各地，这与种族、国籍或行为无关，关键在于认识上帝。法利赛人告诉耶稣希律王想杀他，耶稣回应说自己要去耶路撒冷，预言了棕枝主日。这段经文充满了关于审判的警告，提醒信徒分享福音，也提醒那些不认识耶稣的人。这段经文可能导致一些人对审判感到恐惧，而不是对耶稣的爱，因此需要强调自我省察的重要性，并确认自己已被接纳到上帝的家庭中。耶稣告诉门徒不必忧虑，因为天父会赐给他们天国，这强调了与上帝关系的重要性。
