Luke starts Jesus` story with the prediction of the birth of John the Baptist. According to Luke, what did the angel Gabriel predict as the future role of John the Baptist?

He will announce the Son of God and be immersed himself in the Holy Spirit in Mary's womb. Its like a parallel incarnation, not the real one of cousre but the Holy Spirit descends also on Elisabeths womb and forms its Placenta. Of the same substance of the Father...which explains the chemistry kicking in when the two expectant mothers meet and John leaps announcing Jesus, he brings joy to his onw family but not only.

Joseph from the town of Arimathaea was a wealthy Jewish religious leader. What risk did he take and why was he willing to do this? Note: Isaiah 53:9 - "And they made His grave with the wicked, But with the rich at His death."

Store not your treasures on earth but in Heaven: he risked reputation, wealth via ostracisation of his business, and even life in saying that Jesus was the Son of God.Jesus was crucified with the two thieves the wicked, those who stole wealth, earthly wealth...the grave is the cross and death is the burial in a tombstone a mauselum worth of a King.Death from which He resurrected.

Why did Jesus cry out, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?" Note: This is a direct quote from the Jewish Scripture, Psalm 22:1.

Any deep down faithful Jew would have had David's words, the raised to salvation repentant king, running through his heart. Bringing all in one cry of hopeful desperate anguish, Jesus was fully human, the core message of the Word made crucified flesh for our Redemption.Does Eloi mean Eliah? is it the original name? the thought goes to the Transfiguartion, the flames of Jesus redeeming act of love carrying us all in renewed Baptismal vests to Heaven with the Father. But only few very few of the disciples had been, Jesus will, present on the hill. Did they spread that experience despite his orders? like the word about his miracles forcing itself out astounded believeing hopeful hearts and mouths?Its not the disciples naming Eliah here.Some of the faithful population standing by till the end of his anguished death, till the last drop of Blood left his sinews and left him as white as that 'Jesus' on the crucifiz in that side chapel of Santa Maria del Fiore (on the left straight next to the Blessed Sacrament / Confessionals chapel).
