Definition: The slang term "Luke 17:29" is a funny play on words that describes a moment in Mark's Gospel when Jesus asks the disciples about their faith and what they believe in.
In Luke 17:29, there are two key points: 1. Jesus is asking the disciples to remember something important from the Sermon on the Mount. This highlights how simple it is to make people understand something complex or difficult. 2. Jesus then asks a question of them, which often involves the use of sarcasm or hyperbole. It's a playful way of reminding the disciples that they're not meant to be as serious about these things as they are. In an edgy example sentence: "Luke 17:29: "Hey, I remember when Jesus asked us what we believe in, and he said, 'Don't worry, it's simple.' But I'm not sure if we should follow his advice. Maybe we should just stick to our own beliefs," the disciples reply with a sly smirk. The joke here is that while they may not fully grasp or believe in Jesus' teachings about faith, their response suggests that they might need more clarification and understanding of these principles from someone who has already lived out those truths for themselves.
