As a non-Jew recording the words and works of Jesus’ life, Luke demonstrates a special sensitivity to other "outsiders" with whom Jesus came into contact. For instance Luke records five events involving women that are not mentioned in the other Gospels. In first-century Jewish culture, women were usually treated as a second-class citizens with few of the rights men had. But Jesus crossed those barriers, and Luke showed the special care Jesus had for women. Jesus treated all people with equal respect. The above passages tell of his encounters with women. |
