What are the questions Jesus asked in Luke?

Answer 1

To answer that question, let us go back in time near the end of Jesus' ministry on earth, his disciples were the ones who asked Jesus' about what is going to happen in the future. This is just a few days before he died, four of his apostles went to him and asked: "When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?" (Matthew 24:3; Mark 13:3)

Those questions were answered by Jesus Christ by giving them a prophecy with many details. We can read this prophecy in Matthew chapters 24 and 25. There Jesus foretold many things, and what he said is very important for us because we too want to know what will happen in the future. You see, for a long time, God's true people, (Jehovah's servants) have studied Jesus' prophecy about the last days and prayed for God's help to understand it. They wanted to understand more clearly when the events in Jesus' prophecy would happen.

So, so let us answer the three questions, that were asked. In his answer, Jesus told what would occur before Jerusalem's destruction. But his words were more far-reaching than that. His prophecy would later have a larger fulfillment worldwide. You see, Jesus prophesied about a combination of events and world conditions that would form a sign. That sign would show those on earth that Jesus' presence as King in heaven had begun. In other words, the sign would indicate that Jehovah God had made Jesus the King of the long-promised Messianic Kingdom.

The sign would mean that the Kingdom was about to remove wickedness and bring true peace to mankind. The very things Jesus foretold would thus mark the last days of the old system of things, which means that the religious, political, and social systems that now exist will soon be gone and will be replaced with a new one. Now, explaining what would happen on earth during his presence as King in heaven, Jesus said that there would be international wars, food shortages, great earthquake, and widespread disease. Lawlessness would increase. All these things would culminate in "great tribulation" such as had never occurred before.-Matthew 24:21.

How would Jesus' followers know when that tribulation is near? "Learn from the fig tree," said Jesus. (Matthew 24:32) The appearance of the fig leaves on the branches is a noticeable sign that summer is near. Likewise, the occurrence within one time period of all the things Jesus foretold would be a recognizable sign that the end is near. You see, no one but the Father would know the exact day and hour when the great tribulation would begin. There, Jesus urged his disciples: "Keep awake, for you do not know when the appointed time is."-Mark 13:33.

So the sign of the last days is international, comprising "all the inhabited earth." (Matthew 24:7,14) Millions live in areas hard hit by pestilences, food shortages, earthquakes, and other foretold events. In contrast, many others dwell in relative peach and quiet. If you have never personally experienced some aspects of the sign, should you reason that the great tribulation is still a long way off? That would not be wise. You see, Jesus admonished Christians everywhere.: "Prove yourselves ready." (Matthew 24:44)

We should always be ready. Of course, we cannot engage in theocratic activities all day long every day. Besides, none of us know what we will be doing the moment the great tribulation begins. Some may be working in a field or caring for domestic chores. (Matthew 24:40,41) So, what can we do to prove ourselves ready?

Well, Jesus admonishes us: "Keep looking, keep awake." (Mark 13:33) Do not allow a distraction to diminish your spiritual alertness. Rather, take note of the fine counsel in our publications and at congregation meetings of Jehovah's Christian Witnesses. And try to do something everyday to prove yourself ready and "keep on the watch."

Answer 2

Some questions that Jesus asked in the Gospel of Luke include: "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?" (Luke 12:25), "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?" (Luke 6:46), and "Do you think that I came to bring peace on earth?" (Luke 12:51). These questions often challenged people's beliefs and actions, encouraging them to reflect on their faith and commitment.

Answer 3

Jesus asked dozens of questions in the book of Luke. The more prominent of these questions were; How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? Can the blind lead the blind? But whom say ye that I am? These were just a few of the many questions Jesus asked in Luke.
