How do the 70 (or 72) disciples, sent out by Jesus, point to the worldwide mission of the church? What is the symbolism of wiping the dust from one’s feet? How is language about the fall of the King of Babylon applied to Capernaum? How did Sodom’s grotesque breach of hospitality apply to other cities? Which Jewish literature uses “lambs in the midst of wolves” to describe God’s people surrounded by the 70 wolfish nations of the world? In this week’s “Reading the Gospels through Hebrew Eyes,” Chad Bird takes us through Luke 10:1-20 to see how the Old Testament aids our understanding of the mission of Christ’s disciples.
