Pertanyaan: 215. Apa yang menjadi khotbah pertama Yesus?
Lukas memberitahu kita (Lukas 2:23) bahwa Yesus berusia sekitar tiga puluh tahun ketika ia memulai pelayanannya. Selama tinggalnya di Galilea (Luk. 4:14) ia sudah berbicara di sinagoge-sinagoge. Markus 1:14,15 menyebutkan kejadian-kejadian ini, meskipun dengan singkat, dan begitu juga Yohanes 2:11. Khotbah pertamanya yang tercatat disebutkan dalam Lukas 4:16-28. Itu terjadi pada hari Sabat, dan ia mengambil teksnya dari nabi Esaias. Ia telah melewati masa persiapan empat puluh hari di padang gurun dan telah penuh dengan Roh, siap untuk pekerjaannya.
Question: 215. What Was Jesus' First Sermon?
Luke tells us (Luke 2:23) that Jesus was about thirty years of age when he began his ministry. During his sojourn in Galilee (Luk. 4:14) he had already spoken in the synagogues. Mark 1:14,15 mentions these instances, though very briefly, and so also does John 2:11. His first recorded sermon is mentioned in Luke 4:16-28. It was on the Sabbath day, and he took his text from the prophet Esais. He had passed through his forty days' preparatory vigil in the wilderness and was filled with the Spirit, and ready for his work.
