C. Luke’s Gospel emphasizes Jesus’ love and care for those whom the Jewish leaders never even noticed 1. women (e.g. Mary, Elizabeth, Anna, Mary and Martha, etc.) 2. the poor (cf. Luke’s Beatitudes, Luke 6:20–23 and teachings on wealth, cf. 12:13–21; 16:9–13, 19–31) 3. the socially, racially, and religiously ostracized a. immoral women (cf. 7:36–50) b. Samaritans (cf. 9:51–56; 10:29–37; 17:11–16) c. lepers (cf. 17:11–19) d. tax collectors (cf. 3:12–13; 15:1–2; 18:9–14; 19:1–10) e. criminals (cf. 23:35–43)
