Tell it Slant: Parables in Luke’s Gospel 6/6

October 24, 2022  /  Katie Hays

Chronic naivete with tragic results. Jesus is now in the final days of his life. He has entered Jerusalem, and cleansed the temple. The VRPs are looking for a final solution. Luke has just a couple chapters of last-minute sayings and stories from Jesus, and then he will be betrayed and crucified. In that context, he tells this parable, which seems thematically similar to the previous one: it concerns a wealthy ruler and his enslaved persons. But in this one, the master is not the villain, rather his tenants are. Why does the landlord continue sending his enslaved persons to the tenants? Why does he think they will behave any differently than they always have? In what way is this parable an answer to the VRPs’ question of Jesus’ authority? And in what way does it introduce how Jesus’ life is about to end?
