Some churches read a complete gospel passion narrative as part of their Good Friday observance, but even this does not allow any close study of the text.  Devotional services at the cross can allow a more detailed reflection, but their purpose is more meditative. Luke provides a distinctive account of the passion of Jesus. His narrative follows the same broad outline as the other gospels, but includes events that only he recounts – Jesus’ interrogation by Herod, the dying thief, the road to Emmaus, etc. A central theme is Jesus’ innocent and righteous suffering, and his ultimate vindication. The study day provides an opportunity to engage with the text at a deeper level.
