In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

6. Luke 1:1-4
Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the
things that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as
they were handed down to us by those who from
the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the
word.
3Therefore, since I myself have carefully
investigated everything from the beginning, it
seemed good also to me to write an orderly account
for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that you
may know the certainty of the things you have
7. Luke 1:1-4
1In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all
that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the
day he was taken up to heaven, after giving
instructions through the Holy Spirit to the
apostles he had chosen.
3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them
and gave many convincing proofs that he was
alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty
days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
8. Luke 24
1On the first day of the week, very early in the morning,
the women took the spices they had prepared and went
to the tomb. 2They found the stone rolled away from the
tomb, 3but when they entered, they did not find the body
of the Lord Jesus. 4While they were wondering about this,
suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like
lightning stood beside them.
9. 5In their fright the women bowed down with their
faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why
do you look for the living among the dead? 6He is not
here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while
he was still with you in Galilee: 7‘The Son of
Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners,
be crucified and on the third day be raised
8
10. 9When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things
to the Eleven and to all the others. 10It was Mary Magdalene,
Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with
them who told this to the apostles. 11But they did not believe the
women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12Peter,
however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the
strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went
away, wondering to himself what had happened.
11. 13Now that same day two of them were going to a
village called Emmaus, about seven miles from
Jerusalem. 14They were talking with each other
about everything that had happened. 15As they talked
and discussed these things with each other, Jesus
himself came up and walked along with them; 16but
The Road to Emmaus
12. 17He asked them, “What are you discussing together
as you walk along?” They stood still, their faces
downcast. 18One of them, named Cleopas, asked him,
“Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does
not know the things that have happened there in
these days?” 19“What things?” he asked.
13. 19“About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was
a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and
all the people. 20The chief priests and our
rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and
they crucified him; 21but we had hoped that he was
the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is
more, it is the third day since all this took place.
14. 22In addition, some of our women amazed us. They
went to the tomb early this morning 23but didn’t find
his body. They came and told us that they had seen a
vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24Then some
of our companions went to the tomb and found it
just as the women had said, but they did not see
Jesus.”
15. 25He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how
slow to believe all that the prophets have
spoken! 26Did not the Messiah have to suffer these
things and then enter his glory?” 27And beginning
with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to
them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning
himself.
16. 28As they approached the village to which they were going,
Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29But they
urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening;
the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.
30When he was at the table with them, he took
bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to
them.
17. 31Then their eyes were opened and they recognized
him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32They
asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning
within us while he talked with us on the road and
opened the Scriptures to us?”
18. 33They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem.
There they found the Eleven and those with them,
assembled together 34and saying, “It is true! The
Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” 35Then
the two told what had happened on the way, and
how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke
the bread.
19. 36While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself
stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with
you.” 37They were startled and frightened, thinking they
saw a ghost. 38He said to them, “Why are you troubled,
and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39Look at my hands
and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does
not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
Jesus Appears to the Disciples
20. 40When he had said this, he showed them his hands
and feet. 41And while they still did not believe it
because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do
you have anything here to eat?” 42They gave him a
piece of broiled fish, 43and he took it and ate it in
their presence.
21. 44He said to them, “This is what I told you while I
was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is
written about me in the Law of Moses, the
Prophets and the Psalms.” 45Then he opened their
minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46He
told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will
suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
22. 47and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be
preached in his name to all nations, beginning at
Jerusalem. 48You are witnesses of these things. 49I am
going to send you what my Father has promised; but
stay in the city until you have been clothed with
power from on high.”
23. 50When he had led them out to the vicinity of
Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed
them. 51While he was blessing them, he left them and
was taken up into heaven. 52Then they worshiped
him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53And
they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.
