A PROPHET IN THE MAKING A CHRISTOLOGICAL STUDY ...

The author's purpose is to identify the prophetic image of Jesus in Lk 4 16-30 with its special
reference to the prophecies of Third Isaiah (61 1-2a and 58 6d) and the prophetic ministries of
Elijah-Elisha (1 Kings 17 8-24 and 2 Kings 5 1-14). He argues that it is the intention of Luke
to present Jesus in this pericope  both  as one who brings the fulfilment of Scripture and as
one who experiences rejection at home  which are two characteristic elements of a prophet. To
support his arguments he cites examples from Luke (Lk 7 16  13 33  24 19) in which Jesus was
regarded as a prophet possessing such characteristic factors already in his lifetime. The
author further claims that the prophecies of Third Isaiah and the references to the healing
ministries of Elijah-Elisha mentioned by Luke in his Nazareth-Pericope themselves point to the
nature and functions of a prophet. Thus  by projecting Jesus as a prophet  he finally draws the
barometer for the future prophetic ministries of the followers of Jesus.
