The Purpose of Jesus the Messiah
Easy Print Version on
Luke 4:42-5:11 for Handouts
Luke 4:42-5:11
42 At daybreak he departed and went into a
deserted place. And the crowds were looking for him; and when
they reached him, they wanted to prevent him from leaving them.
43 But he said to them, “I must proclaim the good news of the
kingdom of God to the other cities also; for I was sent for this
purpose.” 44 So he continued proclaiming the message in the
synagogues of Judea.
Luke 5:1 Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of
Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the
word of God, 2 he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake;
the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and
asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat
down and taught the crowds from the boat. 4 When he had finished
speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let
down your nets for a catch.” 5 Simon answered, “Master, we have
worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say
so, I will let down the nets.” 6 When they had done this, they
caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break. 7
So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and
help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they
began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at
Jesus' knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful
man!” 9 For he and all who were with him were amazed at the
catch of fish that they had taken; 10 and so also were James and
John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus
said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be
catching people.” 11 When they had brought their boats to shore,
they left everything and followed him. — NRSV

each day? What are some of the things Christians could
accomplish for God today if they prayed as Jesus prayed?

things He did to achieve His purpose?
List some of the places where Jesus proclaimed His
message? What was the response in the various places He
preached?
What are some of the things Jesus had done before He
ever began to call disciples? What are some things a

members to join her?
What are the most outstanding qualities of the first
disciples Jesus called? In what ways are those qualities
important in those who follow Jesus today?
