Second Cycle: From the Call of the First Disciples to the Choice of the Twelve, Luke 5:1 to Luke 6:11.

Up to this time Jesus has been preaching, accompanied by a few friends, but without forming about Him a circle of permanent disciples. As His work grows, He feels it necessary to give it a more definite form. The time has arrived when He deems it wise to attach to Himself, as regular disciples, those whom the Father has given Him. This new phase coincides with that in which His work begins to come into conflict with the established order of things.

This cycle comprises six narratives: 1. The call of the first four disciples (Luke 5:1-11); 2 and 3. Two cures of the leper and the paralytic (Luke 5:12-26); 4. The call of Levi, with the circumstances connected with it (Luke 5:27-39); 5 and 6. Two conflicts relating to the Sabbath (Luke 6:1-11).
