Shalom everyone—welcome back to our study of the Gospel of Luke with Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries.

In this episode we finish the final paragraphs of Luke 10 with the introduction of Mary and Martha in Bethany (“the house of the poor”), a place where Yeshua would frequently stay as He traveled to Jerusalem. Martha is busy with necessary preparations, but Mary is seated at the Lord’s feet listening—prompting Yeshua’s practical correction: many things can distract us, but only one thing is necessary, and it must not be taken away.

We then move into Luke 11, where the disciples ask, “Lord, teach us to pray.” Yeshua gives a concise model of prayer—directed to the Father—and then teaches what faith looks like when needs arise: ask, seek, and knock. The Father is not distant or reluctant; He gives good gifts to His children, and He responds when His people come to Him first.

The episode continues with spiritual conflict and controversy after a demon is cast out. Yeshua explains why a kingdom divided cannot stand, warns about what happens when an unclean spirit returns to an “empty house,” and refocuses the crowd’s attention away from misplaced praise and back to the real blessing: hearing the Word of God and doing it.

Finally, Yeshua addresses the demand for signs with a sobering answer: this generation will receive only the Sign of Jonah—a teaching that points to the resurrection, the central sign that validates the promise of forgiveness and eternal life.
