Doctrine Analysis
Doctrine Analysis: Luke 1–24 (English → Sanskrit)
Purpose. This document is the full doctrine matrix for the Luke curriculum, produced under PRD Phase 1 Step 4. It is CONSISTENT with assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json (same doctrines, same risk tiers, same review routing) and extends the Romans baseline (translation_memory.json, bible_term_registry.json, doctrine_risk_registry.json, 12_ai_translation_requirements.md) without contradicting it. The core passage, Luke 4:16-21 (the Nazareth synagogue reading), is the theological anchor of the curriculum but not its scope: this analysis covers the entire book, chapter 1 through chapter 24. Chapters or sections that introduce no new doctrine or term beyond material already logged are marked explicitly as reviewed — no new doctrinal content, never silently omitted.
Risk tier definitions and review routing follow the registry exactly:
| Tier | Meaning | Routing |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | Mistranslation alters or destroys essential doctrine | Human theologian, every occurrence |
| High | Significant theological confusion/syncretism risk via collision with a named classical philosophical doctrine | Human theologian |
| Medium | Reduces clarity but preserves essential meaning | Sanskrit-philosophically-literate scholar (“native speaker review” substitute) |
| Low | Minor imprecision | Automated review |
Part 1 — Full Doctrine Matrix
| # | Doctrine | Risk | Supporting Passages (Luke) | Translation Risk / Sanskrit Collision | Review Routing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gospel | High | 4:18; 4:43; 7:22; 8:1; 9:6; 20:1 | Must be distinguished from a generic auspicious announcement (śubha) or one more śāstra among the darśanas; Luke 4:18 makes proclamation itself Messiah’s stated first mission task | Human theologian |
| 2 | Divine Calling | High | 5:1-11; 5:27-28,32; 6:12-16; 9:1-6,57-62; 10:1-12 | Extended in Luke to fishermen, a tax collector, and sinners; must not be read as human ritual invocation (āhvāna) or karma-determined destiny | Human theologian |
| 3 | Apostleship | Medium | 6:13; 9:1-6,10; 22:14; 24:9-10 | Risk of reduction to guru-śiṣya-paramparā lineage or ṛṣi-perception rather than historical commissioning by the risen Lord | Native speaker (Sanskrit-scholar) review |
| 4 | Grace | High | 1:30; 2:40,52; 4:22 | Mary’s unmerited favor and the Jubilee “year of the Lord’s favor” (4:19) contradict karmaphala’s automatic-result logic and prasāda’s ritual offering-and-return structure | Human theologian |
| 5 | Faith | High | 5:20; 7:9,50; 8:25,48; 17:19; 18:8,42; 22:32 | Personal trust in Jesus repeatedly named as ground of healing/salvation; not Gītā 17’s guṇa-classified śraddhā nor the structured bhakti-mārga | Human theologian |
| 6 | Jesus as Savior for All Nations and All People (Jew/Gentile, Rich/Poor) | Critical | 2:10-11,30-32; 3:6; 4:25-27; 7:1-10; 13:29; 19:1-10; 23:39-43; 24:47 | Undistinguished offer to centurions, Samaritans, tax collectors, condemned criminals challenges varṇa-restricted ritual/scriptural access; never मोक्षः/मुक्तिः/निर्वाणम् | Human theologian |
| 7 | Universal Scope of the Gospel | High | 2:30-32; 3:6; 13:29; 14:15-24; 24:47 | No varṇa/ritual-competence barrier; retain unqualified universal language | Human theologian |
| 8 | Good News to the Poor and Marginalized | High | 4:18; 6:20-23; 7:22; 14:13,21; 16:19-31 | Present poverty must not read as karmaphala (deserved fruit of past karma); poor are primary, not incidental, addressees | Human theologian |
| 9 | Jesus’ Compassion and Table Fellowship with Sinners | High | 5:29-32; 7:36-50; 15:1-2,20; 19:1-10 | Collides with dharmaśāstra inter-dining/commensality restrictions across varṇa/jāti; करुणा distinguished from Buddhist brahmavihāra karuṇā and Nāṭyaśāstra karuṇa-rasa | Human theologian |
| 10 | Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins | High | 3:3,8; 5:20-24,32; 7:47-48; 13:3,5; 15:1-32; 17:3-4; 24:47 | मनःपरिवर्तनम् never प्रायश्चित्तम् (dharmaśāstra’s catalogued ritual penance, Manusmṛti 11); heart-reorientation trusting grace, not ritual expiation | Human theologian |
| 11 | Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit | Critical | 12:10 | Engages the single highest-stakes doctrine in the whole Language Package; weakening Spirit personhood here compounds the risk of पवित्र आत्मा being heard as one’s own ātman rather than a Person one can uniquely, decisively reject | Human theologian |
| 12 | The Holy Spirit’s Work in Salvation History | Critical | 1:15,35,41,67; 2:25-27; 3:16,22; 4:1,14,18; 10:21; 11:13; 12:10,12; 24:49 | Densest Spirit-language concentration in the NT narrative corpus; risk at every occurrence of an Advaita-trained reading via the mahāvākyas (tat tvam asi; ayam ātmā brahma; ahaṃ brahmāsmi) | Human theologian |
| 13 | Prayer and Dependence on God | Medium | 11:1-13; 18:1-14; 22:39-46 | No ritual-precision requirement unlike Vedic āhvāna/homa; Gethsemane’s real human volition (22:42) must not be flattened — escalate that verse specifically | Native speaker (Sanskrit-scholar) review |
| 14 | The Kingdom of God Present and Future | High | 4:43; 10:9-11; 11:20; 17:20-21; 19:11; 21:1-36; 22:16-18 | Already/not-yet tense-handling; distinguish from political/territorial kingdom and from Gītā 4:7-8’s cyclical yuga-restoration of dharma | Human theologian |
| 15 | The Kingdom of God Within/Among You | Critical | 17:20-21 | ”Within you” individually (युष्मदन्तः) collides with Advaita immanence-of-Brahman doctrine; use corporate युष्मन्मध्ये (“in your midst”) tied to Jesus’s person | Human theologian |
| 16 | The Cost and Joy of Discipleship | High | 9:23-25,57-62; 14:25-33; 18:28-30; 24:52 | अनुयायी avoids शिष्यः’s guru-lineage import; हर्षः (joy) must not be conflated with आनन्दः, Brahman’s own essential nature in सच्चिदानन्द | Human theologian |
| 17 | Incarnation | Critical | 1:26-38; 2:1-20 | REUSE of baseline doctrine. Never अवतारः; every occurrence must reference Gītā 4:7-8’s periodic, repeatable, canonically-listed descent against the eternal Son’s unique permanent assumption of human nature | Human theologian |
| 18 | Virgin Birth | Critical | 1:26-38 | कुमारी is also the Kumārī Devī living-goddess cult title (Nepalese Śākta tradition); Mary is fully human, never worshipped, never a goddess-manifestation | Human theologian |
| 19 | Deity of Christ | Critical | 1:32,35; 5:20-24; 20:41-44; 22:70 | Co-equal divine nature, never divine promotion nor Īśvara-as-māyā-conditioned manifestation of nirguṇa Brahman; David’s “my Lord” (20:41-44) must not be softened | Human theologian |
| 20 | Sonship of Christ | Critical | 1:32,35; 3:22; 9:35; 22:70 | Eternal unique Sonship, never metaphorical, never a partial aṃśa “portion”; sharply distinct from believers’ derived sonship (20:36, baseline adoption term) | Human theologian |
| 21 | Son of Man | Critical | 5:24; 9:22,26,44,58; 12:8,40; 18:8,31; 19:10; 21:27,36; 22:22,48,69; 24:7 | Combines Ezekiel’s ordinary-humanity sense with Daniel 7:13-14’s divine-judging-authority sense; risk of under-translation toward “merely human” without explicit Daniel-7 teaching | Human theologian |
| 22 | Lordship of Christ | Critical | 2:11; 6:46; 20:41-44; 24:34 | Exclusive supreme Lordship via प्रभुः, never ईश्वरः (Advaitic subordination-to-māyā risk); 2:11 “Christ the Lord” compounds two Critical baseline terms in one title | Human theologian |
| 23 | Messianic Promise | Critical | 2:11,26; 3:15; 4:16-21; 7:19-23; 9:20; 24:26-27,44-46 | Must not assimilate to Viṣṇu’s daśāvatāra sequence (Kalki still awaited); Luke 4:21 “today fulfilled” is the Gospel’s sharpest single self-disclosure, never softened to devotional remark | Human theologian |
| 24 | Davidic Covenant | High | 1:32-33,69; 2:4,11; 3:31; 18:38-39; 20:41-44 | No analogous royal-lineage covenant in classical Sanskrit literature, requires explicit OT background; “Son of David” (18:38-39) is a distinct direct address-title alongside seed-of-David lineage phrase | Human theologian |
| 25 | Resurrection of Christ | Critical | 9:22; 18:33; 20:27-40; 24:1-49 | Bodily, once-for-all, never पुनर्जन्म; 24:39 “flesh and bones” guards against subtle-body (liṅga-śarīra) or apparition misreadings; Sadducee debate (20:27-40) argues the doctrine directly | Human theologian |
| 26 | Justification by Faith | Critical | 7:50; 18:9-14 | 18:14 is Luke’s clearest narrative anchor; must use baseline’s identical compound धर्मीति निर्णयः, contrasted explicitly with rejected self-justification (10:29; 16:15) | Human theologian |
| 27 | The Great Reversal: Exaltation of the Humble, Humbling of the Exalted | High | 1:46-55; 6:20-26; 14:7-11; 16:19-31; 18:9-14 | Structural status-inversion must not soften to a general moral maxim; undercuts varṇa-based social ordering treating honor/status as fixed by birth/karma | Human theologian |
| 28 | Inclusion of Jew, Gentile, and Social Outcast | High | 4:25-27; 7:1-10; 10:25-37; 17:11-19 | Gentile beneficiaries (4:25-27) and a Samaritan moral exemplar (10:25-37) directly challenge varṇa-based and ethnic-religious hierarchy in dharmaśāstra social theory | Human theologian |
| 29 | The Intermediate State After Death (Hades and Paradise) | Critical | 16:19-31; 23:39-43 | हादेस् never नरकः (catalogued karmic-punishment hells) nor पातालम् (nāga netherworld); पारदैसः never स्वर्गः (Gītā 9:21’s temporary merit-exhausted reward-realm); both biblical states are permanent, grace-determined | Human theologian |
| 30 | The Ascension of Christ | High | 24:50-53 | स्वर्गारोहणम् is also the Mahābhārata’s Svargārohaṇa Parva (the Pāṇḍavas’ merit-earned heavenly ascent); Christ’s ascension is the glorified return of the eternal incarnate risen Son, not a hero’s earned reward | Human theologian |
| 31 | Inspiration and Fulfillment of Scripture | High | 4:16-21; 24:25-27,44-46 | Veda’s apauruṣeya, eternally-existent, ṛṣi-perceived model is structurally opposite to a personal God moving human authors at specific historical points; must be explicitly taught, not translated past | Human theologian |
| 32 | Sabbath and the Law Fulfilled, Not Abolished | High | 4:16; 6:1-11; 13:10-17; 14:1-6; 16:16-17; 24:44 | शब्बातदिनम् never equated with ekādaśī (a Vaiṣṇava lunar fasting-vow); Sabbath is covenant memorial rest, fulfilled not abolished | Human theologian |
| 33 | Providence and God’s Personal Care | High | 12:6-7,22-31; 21:18 | Never impersonal karmaphala or the Mahābhārata’s daiva/puruṣakāra debate; trust grounded in the Father’s character, not fatalistic resignation | Human theologian |
| 34 | Wealth, Mammon, and the Demands of Discipleship | High | 12:13-21; 16:1-13,19-31; 18:18-30 | मम्मोनः (transliterated) preserves personified rival-master force lost in plain धनम्; wealth/poverty framed as spiritual danger/test, not automatic karmaphala | Human theologian |
| 35 | Mission to the Nations | Medium | 9:1-6; 10:1-12; 24:47-49 | Scholarly/liturgical audience lessens colonial-connotation caution versus vernacular packages; tone remains descriptive, non-triumphalist | Native speaker (Sanskrit-scholar) review |

Part 2 — Chapter-by-Chapter Coverage
Luke 1 — Annunciation, Magnificat, Zechariah’s Prophecy
Doctrines active: Incarnation (Critical); Virgin Birth (Critical); Deity of Christ (Critical, 1:32,35); Sonship of Christ (Critical, 1:32,35); Davidic Covenant (High, 1:32-33,69); The Holy Spirit’s Work in Salvation History (Critical, 1:15,35,41,67); Grace (High, 1:30); Great Reversal (High, 1:46-55, the Magnificat); Jesus as Savior for All Nations (Critical, seeded in 1:54-55,68-79). Key terms: कुमारी (virgin), देहधारणम् (incarnation), परमेश्वरस्य पुत्रः (Son of God), पवित्र आत्मा, अनुग्रहः, नम्रता/दीनता (humility, Magnificat reversal). Highest-density chapter for Critical doctrine outside chs. 22-24; every Spirit-reference and virgin-birth reference requires the mandatory personhood/humanity notes at first occurrence.
Luke 2 — Birth, Shepherds, Simeon, Anna, Presentation
Doctrines active: Incarnation (Critical); Messianic Promise (Critical, 2:11,26); Lordship of Christ (Critical, 2:11 “Christ the Lord”); Jesus as Savior for All Nations (Critical, 2:10-11,30-32); Universal Scope of the Gospel (High, 2:30-32); Davidic Covenant (High, 2:4,11); Holy Spirit’s Work (Critical, 2:25-27); Sabbath and the Law (High, 2:22-27,39, circumcision/presentation under Torah). Key terms: सुसमाचारः, महिमा (2:9,14,32), अन्यजातीयाः (2:32). 2:11’s compound title “Christ the Lord” stacks two Critical terms — flag for combined-term review.
Luke 3 — John the Baptist, Genealogy, Baptism of Jesus
Doctrines active: Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins (High, 3:3,8); Universal Scope of the Gospel (High, 3:6 “all flesh”); Holy Spirit’s Work (Critical, 3:16,22, descent at baptism); Sonship of Christ (Critical, 3:22, voice from heaven); Davidic Covenant (High, genealogy to David, v.31); Messianic Promise (Critical, 3:15). Key terms: बाप्तिस्मः (baptism, High — never दीक्षा/स्नानम्), मनःपरिवर्तनम्. Genealogy extends beyond David to Adam (“son of Adam, son of God”), reinforcing full humanity alongside divine Sonship — cross-reference Humanity of Christ (Romans baseline doctrine, reused implicitly).
Luke 4 — Temptation; Nazareth Synagogue Sermon (CORE PASSAGE 4:16-21); Sabbath Teaching; Healings
This is the curriculum’s theological anchor. Doctrines active: Messianic Promise (Critical, 4:16-21, “today this Scripture is fulfilled” — the Gospel’s sharpest single self-disclosure); Inspiration and Fulfillment of Scripture (High, 4:16-21, the physical Isaiah scroll reading); Gospel (High, 4:18,43); Good News to the Poor and Marginalized (High, 4:18, foundational proof-text); Holy Spirit’s Work (Critical, 4:1,14,18); Sabbath and the Law (High, 4:16); Inclusion of Jew, Gentile, and Social Outcast (High, 4:25-27, widow of Zarephath/Naaman — the sermon’s climactic, synagogue-enraging point); Power of God (High, 4:14,36, baseline term). Key terms: क्षमा/बन्दिमोक्षः (forgiveness/release, deliberately punning pair per Section B.1 #2/#4), दरिद्रः (poor), शैतानः (devil, temptation narrative), अभिषिक्तः (anointed). Every rendering of 4:18-19 must be treated as a fixed, cross-document-consistent translation per the Theological Consistency Rules, parallel to Romans 1:16-17/8:28/10:9-10.
Luke 5 — Calling of Disciples; Healing of the Paralytic; Calling of Levi; Table Fellowship; Fasting
Doctrines active: Divine Calling (High, 5:1-11,27-28,32); Faith (High, 5:20); Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins (High, 5:20-24,32); Son of Man (Critical, 5:24, authority to forgive sins — first occurrence, foundational); Jesus’ Compassion and Table Fellowship with Sinners (High, 5:29-32); Fasting (Medium-High background term, 5:33-35). Key terms: मनुष्यपुत्रः (first occurrence — must carry Daniel 7 note), सहभोजनम् (table fellowship), पापी (sinner), उपवासः (fasting). 5:24’s linkage of Son-of-Man title directly to forgiveness authority makes this a doubled-Critical verse (Son of Man + implicit Deity of Christ) requiring theologian review.
Luke 6 — Sabbath Controversies; the Twelve Chosen; Sermon on the Plain
Doctrines active: Sabbath and the Law (High, 6:1-11); Apostleship (Medium, 6:13); The Great Reversal (High, 6:20-26, blessings and woes); Good News to the Poor (High, 6:20-23); Lordship of Christ (Critical, 6:46, “Lord, Lord”). Key terms: धन्यः (blessed), प्रेषितः (apostle), स्नेहः (love, 6:27-35 love of enemies). No new doctrine beyond those already logged; risk profile identical to items already covered above.
Luke 7 — Centurion’s Servant; Widow’s Son Raised; Sinful Woman; John’s Question
Doctrines active: Inclusion of Jew, Gentile, and Social Outcast (High, 7:1-10, the centurion); Faith (High, 7:9,50); Compassion and Table Fellowship (High, 7:36-50); Repentance and Forgiveness (High, 7:47-48); Justification by Faith (Critical, 7:50, “your faith has saved you… go in peace” anticipates 18:14); Messianic Promise (Critical, 7:19-23, John’s question and Jesus’s answer echoing 4:18); Gospel (High, 7:22). Key terms: पुनर्जीवनम् (raised — temporary resuscitation of the widow’s son, 7:11-17; distinct from the reserved Critical पुनरुत्थानम्), शान्तिः (peace, 7:50), करुणा.
Luke 8 — Parable of the Sower; Calming the Storm; Legion; Jairus’s Daughter; Bleeding Woman
Doctrines active: Faith (High, 8:25,48); Power of God (High, 8:46); The Kingdom of God Present and Future (High, parable material, 8:1-15); no new Critical/High doctrine beyond those logged. Key terms: भूतः (demon/unclean spirit — the Legion narrative, 8:26-39; deliberately avoids आत्मा-rooted compounds per baseline rule), पुनर्जीवनम् (Jairus’s daughter, 8:49-56, again temporary revivification, not पुनरुत्थानम्). Reviewed — no new doctrine beyond Faith, Power of God, Kingdom of God, and the “raised” safeguard term already logged.
Luke 9 — Feeding of 5000; Peter’s Confession; Transfiguration; Passion Predictions; Sending of the Twelve; Cost of Discipleship
Doctrines active: Messianic Promise (Critical, 9:20, Peter’s confession); Son of Man (Critical, 9:22,26,44,58); Sonship of Christ (Critical, 9:35, Transfiguration voice); Resurrection of Christ (Critical, 9:22, first passion-resurrection prediction); The Cost and Joy of Discipleship (High, 9:23-25,57-62); Apostleship/Mission to the Nations (Medium, 9:1-6,10). Key terms: महिमा (glory, Transfiguration 9:26,31-32), मनुष्यपुत्रः, क्रूशः (cross, 9:23 “take up his cross”). Transfiguration (9:28-36) compounds Sonship and Deity of Christ in a single scene — flag for combined-term theologian review.
Luke 10 — Sending of the Seventy; Good Samaritan; Mary and Martha
Doctrines active: Mission to the Nations (Medium, 10:1-12); The Kingdom of God Present and Future (High, 10:9-11, “kingdom of God has come near”); Inclusion of Jew, Gentile, and Social Outcast (High, 10:25-37, the Samaritan as moral exemplar); Holy Spirit’s Work (Critical, 10:21, Jesus rejoicing in the Spirit). Key terms: समीपस्थः (neighbor), सामरितीयः (Samaritan). The Good Samaritan parable is this chapter’s load-bearing content for the Inclusion doctrine and must not be softened toward an in-group-only reading of “neighbor.”
Luke 11 — Lord’s Prayer; Teaching on Prayer; Beelzebul Controversy; Woes on the Pharisees
Doctrines active: Prayer and Dependence on God (Medium, 11:1-13, the Lord’s Prayer — escalate Abba/Father address for theologian awareness even though routed Medium); The Kingdom of God Present and Future (High, 11:20, “finger of God”); Holy Spirit’s Work (Critical, 11:13, “how much more will your Father… give the Holy Spirit”). Key terms: प्रार्थना, कपटम् (hypocrisy, 11:37-44 woes). Reviewed for new terms — कपटम् introduced here as the primary hypocrisy term (distinguished from माया per Section B.4 #37); doctrine content otherwise already logged.
Luke 12 — Warnings Against Hypocrisy; Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit; Anxiety and Providence; Rich Fool; Watchfulness
Doctrines active: Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit (Critical, 12:10 — sole proof-text for this doctrine in the entire curriculum); Providence and God’s Personal Care (High, 12:6-7,22-31); Wealth, Mammon, and the Demands of Discipleship (High, 12:13-21); Son of Man (Critical, 12:8,40). Key terms: पवित्रात्मनिन्दा (Critical, first and only occurrence of this exact term — mandatory theologian review), मम्मोनः is anticipated here though the explicit “mammon” term appears at 16:9,11,13. This is the single highest-density Critical-risk chapter for the Holy Spirit doctrine outside chs. 1 and 3.
Luke 13 — Call to Repentance; Sabbath Healing; Kingdom Parables; Narrow Door
Doctrines active: Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins (High, 13:3,5); Sabbath and the Law (High, 13:10-17); The Kingdom of God Present and Future (High, mustard seed/leaven parables, 13:18-21); The Great Reversal (High, 13:29-30, “many will come from east and west,” “last will be first”); Universal Scope of the Gospel (High, 13:29). Reviewed — no doctrine beyond those already logged; supports and deepens the repentance, sabbath, and reversal doctrines with additional proof-texts.
Luke 14 — Sabbath Healing; Banquet Parable; Cost of Discipleship
Doctrines active: Sabbath and the Law (High, 14:1-6); The Great Reversal (High, 14:7-11, humility at the banquet); Good News to the Poor and Marginalized (High, 14:13,21, “invite the poor”); Universal Scope of the Gospel (High, 14:15-24, the great banquet parable); The Cost and Joy of Discipleship (High, 14:25-33, “count the cost”). Key terms: नम्रता/दीनता (humility, 14:11), क्रूशः. Reviewed — deepens already-logged doctrines; no new Critical/High doctrine category introduced.
Luke 15 — Lost Sheep, Lost Coin, Prodigal Son
Doctrines active: Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins (High, 15:1-32 — this chapter’s three parables are the curriculum’s central proof-text cluster for this doctrine); Jesus’ Compassion and Table Fellowship with Sinners (High, 15:1-2,20, framing complaint and the father’s embrace); The Great Reversal (implicit, elder/younger son inversion). Key terms: करुणा, हर्षः (joy, 15:7,10,32), पापी. This chapter should receive priority attention in Phase 2 given its doctrinal density relative to length; no new doctrine category, but the single richest concentration of the Repentance/Forgiveness and Compassion doctrines in the book.
Luke 16 — Shrewd Manager; Mammon; Rich Man and Lazarus
Doctrines active: Wealth, Mammon, and the Demands of Discipleship (High, 16:1-13); The Intermediate State After Death — Hades and Paradise (Critical, 16:19-31, first and primary occurrence of Hades/Abraham’s bosom); Sabbath and the Law Fulfilled, Not Abolished (High, 16:16-17); Good News to the Poor and Marginalized (High, 16:19-31, Lazarus). Key terms: मम्मोनः (Medium, transliterated per Section B.5 #46), हादेस् (Critical). This chapter carries the curriculum’s sole full narrative treatment of the intermediate afterlife state and requires the mandatory नरकः/पातालम्/स्वर्गः contrast notes at 16:23-26.
Luke 17 — Faith Like a Mustard Seed; Ten Lepers; Kingdom Within/Among You
Doctrines active: Faith (High, 17:19, “your faith has made you well”); Inclusion of Jew, Gentile, and Social Outcast (High, 17:11-19, the grateful Samaritan leper); The Kingdom of God Within/Among You (Critical, 17:20-21 — sole occurrence of this doctrine in the entire book). Key terms: युष्मन्मध्ये (Critical, mandatory theologian review), सामरितीयः, धन्यवादः. 17:20-21 is this chapter’s single highest-stakes verse in the whole curriculum outside the Passion/Resurrection material and must never render “within you” individually.
Luke 18 — Persistent Widow; Pharisee and Tax Collector; Rich Young Ruler; Blind Beggar
Doctrines active: Prayer and Dependence on God (Medium, 18:1-8, persistent widow); Justification by Faith (Critical, 18:9-14 — the Gospel’s single clearest narrative anchor for this doctrine, 18:14); The Great Reversal (High, 18:9-14); Davidic Covenant (High, 18:38-39, “Son of David” as a direct address-title, distinct from lineage-descent phrasing); Wealth, Mammon, and Discipleship (High, 18:18-30); Faith (High, 18:8,42). Key terms: धर्मीति निर्णयः (mandatory identical rendering to the Romans baseline, per Theological Consistency Rules), दाविदस्य पुत्रः (Critical). This chapter should be flagged for a dedicated fixed-rendering review pass given the density of Critical terms in a single chapter (18:14 and 18:38-39 both Critical).
Luke 19 — Zacchaeus; Triumphal Entry; Weeping over Jerusalem; Temple Cleansing
Doctrines active: Jesus as Savior for All Nations and All People (Critical, 19:1-10, Zacchaeus — “the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost,” 19:10, compounding Son of Man and Salvation doctrines in one verse); Compassion and Table Fellowship with Sinners (High, 19:1-10); The Kingdom of God Present and Future (High, 19:11 and the triumphal entry, 19:28-40); Lordship of Christ (Critical, 19:38, “blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord”). Key terms: त्राता (Savior, first primary occurrence), मनुष्यपुत्रः. 19:9-10 should receive fixed-rendering treatment per the prior glossary’s Cross-Reference Notes (item 1).
Luke 20 — Parable of the Tenants; Paying Taxes to Caesar; Resurrection Debate; David’s Son and Lord
Doctrines active: Resurrection of Christ (Critical, 20:27-40 — the Sadducee debate argues the doctrine directly and explicitly, not merely narrating it); Deity of Christ (Critical, 20:41-44, “David himself calls him Lord”); Lordship of Christ (Critical, 20:41-44); Davidic Covenant (High, 20:41-44); Adoption (High, baseline term reused, 20:36, “sons of the resurrection” — believers’ derived sonship, sharply distinct from Christ’s unique Sonship). Key terms: पुनरुत्थानम्, पुत्रत्वेन स्वीकरणम् (reused baseline term at 20:36, not दाविदस्य पुत्रः or परमेश्वरस्य पुत्रः). This chapter requires careful disambiguation between three distinct “sonship” categories (believers’ adoptive sonship, David’s sonship-lineage, Christ’s unique Sonship) appearing within twenty verses of each other.
Luke 21 — Olivet Discourse: Signs, Providence, the Coming of the Son of Man
Doctrines active: Providence and God’s Personal Care (High, 21:18, “not a hair of your head will perish”); Son of Man (Critical, 21:27,36); The Kingdom of God Present and Future (High, 21:31, eschatological framing). Key terms: मनुष्यपुत्रः, परमेश्वरस्य विधानम्. Reviewed — no new doctrine category; deepens Providence and Son of Man doctrines already logged with eschatological proof-texts requiring the same yuga-cycle contrast already fixed for the Kingdom doctrine.
Luke 22 — Last Supper; New Covenant; Gethsemane; Betrayal; Peter’s Denial; Trial Before the Sanhedrin
Doctrines active: Prayer and Dependence on God (Medium but flagged for theologian escalation at 22:39-46 specifically, per registry note on Gethsemane’s real human volition); Davidic Covenant / New Covenant (High, 22:20, “new covenant in my blood” — builds on baseline’s संविद्); Son of Man (Critical, 22:22,48,69); Sonship of Christ and Deity of Christ (Critical, 22:70, “Are you the Son of God?” — “You say that I am”); Intercession (Medium, baseline term reused, 22:32, Christ’s intercession for Peter). Key terms: नवीना संविद् (High, new covenant), प्रार्थना, मध्यस्थता. 22:42’s “not my will but yours” is singled out in the registry for theologian escalation beyond its Medium base tier and must not be rendered in a way denying Christ’s genuine human volition.
Luke 23 — Trial Before Pilate and Herod; Crucifixion; the Penitent Thief; Death of Christ
Doctrines active: The Intermediate State After Death — Paradise (Critical, 23:39-43, “today you will be with me in paradise” — the sole primary Paradise proof-text); Lordship of Christ and Sonship of Christ (Critical, background to the mockery and confession scenes); Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins (High, 23:34, “Father, forgive them”); Righteousness (Critical, baseline term reused, 23:47, the centurion’s confession “certainly this man was righteous/innocent” — धार्मिकः). Key terms: पारदैसः (Critical), प्राणान् (Critical safeguard term, 23:46, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit” — never पवित्र आत्मा, never bare आत्मा). This chapter contains two of the curriculum’s most safeguarded Critical renderings (पारदैसः and प्राणान्) within seven verses of each other (23:43, 23:46) and should be prioritized for theologian review as a single reviewed unit.
Luke 24 — Resurrection; Road to Emmaus; Appearance to the Disciples; Great Commission; Ascension
Doctrines active: Resurrection of Christ (Critical, 24:1-49 — the chapter’s controlling doctrine, with 24:39’s “flesh and bones” as the key anti-docetic/anti-subtle-body safeguard); Inspiration and Fulfillment of Scripture (High, 24:25-27,44-46, Christ’s own linear salvation-history summary from Law, Prophets, and Psalms); Mission to the Nations (Medium, 24:47-49); The Ascension of Christ (High, 24:50-53, the book’s sole Ascension narrative). Key terms: पुनरुत्थानम्, स्वर्गारोहणम् (High, mandatory Svargārohaṇa Parva contrast note), नमस्कारः (worship, 24:52, post-resurrection worship of Christ — first clearly unambiguous instance of Jesus receiving proskynesis-type worship in the book). This is the curriculum’s second-highest doctrinal-density chapter after chapter 1 and requires the same fixed-rendering discipline given to Romans 8:28/10:9-10 for 24:47’s Great Commission language and 24:34’s “The Lord is risen indeed.”
Part 3 — Explicitly Reviewed Chapters Without New Doctrine Categories
Per the full-book-coverage mandate, the following chapters/sections were reviewed in full and confirmed to introduce no new doctrine category or Critical/High term beyond those already logged elsewhere in this matrix; they are retained here as evidence of complete coverage rather than silently omitted:
- Luke 6 — deepens Sabbath/Law, Apostleship, Great Reversal, Lordship already logged; no new category.
- Luke 8 — deepens Faith, Power of God, Kingdom of God; introduces only the safeguard terms भूतः and पुनर्जीवनम्, both already defined in the Section B glossary.
- Luke 11 (doctrine level) — introduces the term कपटम् (hypocrisy) but no new doctrine category beyond Prayer, Kingdom, and Holy Spirit’s Work already logged.
- Luke 13 — deepens Repentance, Sabbath, Kingdom, and Great Reversal doctrines with additional parables and proof-texts; no new category.
- Luke 14 — deepens Sabbath, Great Reversal, Good News to the Poor, Universal Scope, and Cost of Discipleship; no new category.
- Luke 21 — deepens Providence and Son of Man with eschatological material; no new category.
Part 4 — Consistency Confirmation
This document introduces no doctrine, risk tier, or Sanskrit doctrine name that differs from assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json. All 35 doctrines listed in Part 1 correspond one-to-one with the registry’s doctrines object (including identical sanskrit_doctrine_name values, identical risk tiers, and identical review_routing values), and the risk_summary totals (Critical 14 / High 18 / Medium 3 / Low 0; 32 theologian-routed, 3 native-speaker-routed, 0 automated-only) are reproduced without amendment. Fixed-rendering anchor verses requiring cross-document consistency (Luke 4:16-21, 4:18-19, 18:14, 19:9-10, 23:43, 24:47) are carried forward from the prior Core Glossary output and confirmed here as chapter-level flags in Part 2.
Critical Risk Doctrines
Jesus as Savior for All Nations and All People (Jew and Gentile, Rich and Poor)
Sanskrit name: सर्वराष्ट्रीयं सर्वजनीयं च त्राणम्
Key terms: savior, salvation, all nations, all flesh, Jew and Gentile, rich and poor
Review routing: Human theologian
Salvation offered without distinction to Roman centurions, Samaritans, tax collectors, and condemned criminals directly challenges the Mīmāṃsā-linked premise that Vedic ritual and scriptural access is properly restricted by varṇa, and must never be rendered with मोक्षः/मुक्तिः/निर्वाणम् (Self-achieved or Self-realized liberation), which would also reintroduce a merit-graded, caste-sensitive path incompatible with Luke’s insistence on rescue-by-another offered equally to all.
Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit
Sanskrit name: पवित्रात्मनिन्दा
Key terms: blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, unforgivable
Review routing: Human theologian
Directly engages the single highest-stakes doctrine in the whole Language Package: any weakening of the Holy Spirit’s distinct, personal identity in this passage compounds the baseline’s flagged risk that पवित्र आत्मा be heard as the reader’s own universal ātman rather than the Spirit whom one can, uniquely among all sins, decisively reject.
The Holy Spirit’s Work in Salvation History
Sanskrit name: त्राणेतिहासे पवित्रात्मनः कार्यम्
Key terms: Holy Spirit, filled with the Spirit, power from on high, Spirit descended
Review routing: Human theologian
The single densest concentration of Spirit-language in the New Testament’s narrative material. Every occurrence risks an Advaita-trained reader hearing पवित्र आत्मा as the reader’s own true universal Self per the mahāvākyas (tat tvam asi, ayam ātmā brahma, ahaṃ brahmāsmi), rather than the distinct, given, personal third Person of the Trinity active across a specific unfolding history, not an eternally-present metaphysical identity to be realized.
The Kingdom of God Within/Among You
Sanskrit name: युष्मन्मध्ये परमेश्वरराज्यम्
Key terms: the kingdom of God is within/among you
Review routing: Human theologian
Rendering this as ‘within you’ individually (युष्मदन्तः) risks direct collision with Advaita Vedānta’s core immanence claim that the divine (Brahman/ātman) is already, inherently present within the self, to be realized rather than received — precisely the mahāvākya structure flagged Critical in the Holy Spirit entry. The corporate rendering (युष्मन्मध्ये, ‘in your midst’) ties the kingdom’s presence to Jesus’s own person and ministry, not a latent inner divine nature.
Incarnation
Sanskrit name: देहधारणम्
Key terms: conceived, born, the child, Word became flesh (thematic)
Review routing: Human theologian
REUSE of baseline doctrine. Never अवतारः; every occurrence in Luke’s birth narrative must reference the Bhagavad Gītā 4:7-8 distinction (periodic, repeatable divine descent with a canonical daśāvatāra list) against the eternal Son’s unique, permanent assumption of human nature.
Virgin Birth
Sanskrit name: कुमारीजन्म
Key terms: virgin, conceived by the Holy Spirit, Mary
Review routing: Human theologian
कुमारी is also a specific cultic title (Kumārī Devī, the living-goddess cult of Nepalese/Newar Śākta-influenced tradition, in which young girls are venerated as living manifestations of the Goddess); every occurrence must carry a note that Mary is fully human, chosen as the vessel of the Incarnation, and never herself an object of worship or a goddess-manifestation.
Deity of Christ
Sanskrit name: ख्रीष्टस्य ईश्वरत्वम्
Key terms: Son of the Most High, power of the Most High, my Lord (Psalm 110)
Review routing: Human theologian
Co-equal divine nature, never divine promotion and never Īśvara-as-māyā-conditioned-manifestation-of-nirguṇa-Brahman; David calling his own descendant ‘Lord’ (20:41-44) is a proof-text for the Messiah’s transcendence over David that must not be softened into a philosophically ‘safer’ but doctrinally lesser claim.
Sonship of Christ
Sanskrit name: ख्रीष्टस्य पुत्रत्वम्
Key terms: Son of God, his Son, the Chosen One, beloved Son
Review routing: Human theologian
Eternal, unique Sonship, never metaphorical and never a partial aṃśa ‘portion’ of God as sometimes used of avatāras; must be kept sharply distinct from the derived sonship of resurrected believers (Luke 20:36, rendered with the baseline’s adoption term, not this Critical exclusive title).
Son of Man
Sanskrit name: मनुष्यपुत्रत्वम्
Key terms: Son of Man, authority to forgive sins, Son of Man came to seek and save
Review routing: Human theologian
Combines Ezekiel’s ordinary-humanity sense with Daniel 7:13-14’s divine-authority-to-judge sense; मनुष्यपुत्रः risks under-translation toward ‘merely a human being’ if not explicitly taught with reference to its Daniel 7 background, in the same manner the baseline requires for देहधारणम्.
Lordship of Christ
Sanskrit name: ख्रीष्टस्य प्रभुत्वम्
Key terms: Christ the Lord, the Lord said to my Lord, Lord, Lord
Review routing: Human theologian
Exclusive, supreme Lordship, deliberately using प्रभुः rather than ईश्वरः to avoid the Advaitic subordination-to-māyā reading fixed in the baseline’s lord entry; 2:11’s combination ‘Christ the Lord’ compounds two baseline Critical terms in a single title.
Messianic Promise
Sanskrit name: मसीहस्य प्रतिज्ञा
Key terms: Christ, the Anointed One, the one who is to come, fulfilled
Review routing: Human theologian
Must not be assimilated to Viṣṇu’s daśāvatāra sequence, in which Kalki, the tenth and final avatāra, is still to come; Luke 4:21’s ‘today this Scripture has been fulfilled’ is the Gospel’s most explicit single messianic self-disclosure and must never be softened to a devotional remark.
Resurrection of Christ
Sanskrit name: ख्रीष्टस्य पुनरुत्थानम्
Key terms: he is risen, raised on the third day, flesh and bones
Review routing: Human theologian
Bodily, once-for-all resurrection, never पुनर्जन्म. Luke 24:39’s insistence on ‘flesh and bones’ is an important safeguard against any subtle-body (liṅga-śarīra) or ghostly-apparition misreading; the Sadducee debate of 20:27-40 requires the same Critical rigor since it argues the doctrine directly.
Justification by Faith
Sanskrit name: विश्वासेन धर्मीति निर्णयः
Key terms: justified, went down to his house justified, justify himself
Review routing: Human theologian
Luke 18:14 is the Gospel’s single clearest narrative anchor for this doctrine and must use the identical baseline compound धर्मीति निर्णयः used throughout Romans, contrasted explicitly with human self-justification (δικαιοῦν ἑαυτόν, 10:29; 16:15), which Luke repeatedly names and rejects.
The Intermediate State After Death (Hades and Paradise)
Sanskrit name: मृत्योः अनन्तरम् अन्तरालावस्था
Key terms: Hades, Abraham’s bosom, paradise, today you will be with me
Review routing: Human theologian
Hades (हादेस्, transliterated) must never be नरकः, the Purāṇic catalogued karmic-punishment hells prior to further rebirth, nor पातालम्, the Purāṇic nāga-inhabited netherworld; paradise (पारदैसः) must never be स्वर्गः, which Bhagavad Gītā 9:21 explicitly names a temporary merit-exhausted reward-realm (‘kṣīṇe puṇye martyalokaṃ viśanti’). Both biblical states are permanent and grace-determined, not merit-graded stations within an ongoing transmigration cycle.
High Risk Doctrines
Gospel
Sanskrit name: सुसमाचारः
Key terms: gospel, good news, preach, proclaim
Review routing: Human theologian
REUSE of baseline doctrine. Must be distinguished from a general auspicious announcement (śubha) or one more śāstra among the darśanas; Luke 4:18 makes proclamation itself the Messiah’s first stated mission task.
Divine Calling
Sanskrit name: परमेश्वरस्य आह्वानम्
Key terms: called, follow me, calling of disciples
Review routing: Human theologian
God’s sovereign call, extended in Luke to fishermen, a tax collector, and sinners alike, must be distinguished from human ritual invocation of a deity (the ordinary Vedic sense of āhvāna) and from karma-determined destiny.
Grace
Sanskrit name: अनुग्रहः
Key terms: grace, favor, found favor
Review routing: Human theologian
Mary’s unmerited favor and the Jubilee’s era of favor (4:19) directly contradict the karma-mīmāṃsā framework in which ritual and moral action produce their own automatic result (karmaphala), and must be distinguished from prasāda’s ritual food-offering-and-return structure.
Faith
Sanskrit name: विश्वासः
Key terms: faith, believe, your faith has saved you
Review routing: Human theologian
Personal trust in Jesus specifically, repeated as the explicit ground of healing and salvation throughout Luke; not the guṇa-classified threefold śraddhā of Bhagavad Gītā 17 or the structured bhakti-mārga soteriological path.
Universal Scope of the Gospel
Sanskrit name: सुसमाचारस्य सार्वत्रिकता
Key terms: light for revelation to the Gentiles, all flesh shall see, everyone who calls
Review routing: Human theologian
No varṇa or ritual-competence barrier to the gospel; retain unqualified universal language without softening toward a restricted-access reading.
Good News to the Poor and Marginalized
Sanskrit name: दरिद्रान् प्रति सुसमाचारः
Key terms: poor, captives, blind, oppressed, blessed are the poor
Review routing: Human theologian
Present poverty must not be read as karmaphala, the just and automatic fruit of a person’s own past karma, which would make poverty something earned rather than a locus of God’s specific favor; Jesus names the poor as primary, not incidental, addressees of the gospel.
Jesus’ Compassion and Table Fellowship with Sinners
Sanskrit name: पापिजनैः सह करुणा सहभोजनं च
Key terms: compassion, eat with sinners, tax collectors, the sinful woman, Zacchaeus
Review routing: Human theologian
Direct collision with dharmaśāstra’s inter-dining/commensality restrictions governing who may eat with whom across varṇa/jāti boundaries; Jesus’s deliberate table fellowship with the religiously and socially disreputable must not be softened. Compassion (karuṇā) must also be distinguished from the Buddhist brahmavihāra’s impartial, insight-based compassion and from karuṇa-rasa, a classical Nāṭyaśāstra aesthetic sentiment.
Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins
Sanskrit name: मनःपरिवर्तनं पापक्षमा च
Key terms: repent, repentance, forgive, forgiveness of sins
Review routing: Human theologian
Repentance (मनःपरिवर्तनम्) must never be rendered प्रायश्चित्तम्, the dharmaśāstra term for a prescribed ritual penance removing the effect of a catalogued sin (Manusmṛti 11); biblical repentance is a reoriented heart trusting God’s grace-given forgiveness, not a ritual expiation procedure.
The Kingdom of God Present and Future
Sanskrit name: वर्तमानं भविष्यत् च परमेश्वरराज्यम्
Key terms: kingdom of God has come near, kingdom of God is among you, kingdom coming
Review routing: Human theologian
Requires careful tense-handling to preserve the already/not-yet doctrine; distinguish from a political/territorial kingdom and from a cosmic yuga-cycle restoration of dharma per Bhagavad Gītā 4:7-8.
The Cost and Joy of Discipleship
Sanskrit name: शिष्यत्वस्य मूल्यम् आनन्दश्च
Key terms: take up his cross, deny himself, count the cost, great joy
Review routing: Human theologian
Discipleship (अनुयायी) deliberately avoids शिष्यः to prevent importing the guru-śiṣya-paramparā lineage-transmission framework; the joy that crowns costly discipleship (हर्षः) must not be conflated with आनन्दः, Brahman’s own essential blissful nature in सच्चिदानन्द.
Davidic Covenant
Sanskrit name: दाविदस्य संविद्
Key terms: throne of David, Son of David, house of David
Review routing: Human theologian
Requires explicit Old Testament background explanation; no analogous royal-lineage covenant concept exists in classical Sanskrit political or religious literature. ‘Son of David’ (18:38-39) is a distinct direct title of address from the baseline’s lineage-descent phrase and carries equal doctrinal weight to मसीहः.
The Great Reversal: Exaltation of the Humble, Humbling of the Exalted
Sanskrit name: नम्राणाम् उन्नतिः उन्नतानां च नम्रीकरणम्
Key terms: he has exalted the humble, whoever humbles himself will be exalted, woe to you rich
Review routing: Human theologian
This recurring motif structurally inverts status categories in a way that must not be softened into a general moral maxim; it directly undercuts hierarchical status assumptions embedded in varṇa-based social ordering, in which honor and low status are treated as largely fixed by birth and accumulated karma rather than reversible by God’s free action.
Inclusion of Jew, Gentile, and Social Outcast
Sanskrit name: यहूदि-अन्यजातीय-बहिष्कृतजनानां समावेशः
Key terms: Samaritan, centurion, Naaman the Syrian, widow of Zarephath
Review routing: Human theologian
Jesus’s deliberate citation of Gentile beneficiaries of God’s favor (4:25-27) and his elevation of a Samaritan as moral exemplar (10:25-37) directly challenge varṇa-based and ethnic-religious hierarchy embedded in classical dharmaśāstra social theory; the equalizing claim must not be softened.
The Ascension of Christ
Sanskrit name: ख्रीष्टस्य स्वर्गारोहणम्
Key terms: carried up into heaven, blessed them and departed
Review routing: Human theologian
स्वर्गारोहणम् is also the specific name of the Mahābhārata’s final book (Svargārohaṇa Parva), narrating the Pāṇḍavas’ meritorious ascent to heaven after death; Christ’s ascension must be explicitly distinguished as the glorified return of the eternal, incarnate, risen Son to the Father, not a hero’s reward earned by accumulated dharma.
Inspiration and Fulfillment of Scripture
Sanskrit name: शास्त्रस्य प्रेरणा भविष्यवाण्याः पूर्तिः च
Key terms: it is written, the Scripture, fulfilled, everything written about me in the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms
Review routing: Human theologian
REUSE-adjacent to baseline. The Veda is held to be apauruṣeya, eternally existent, and merely ‘seen’ by ṛṣis; biblical inspiration is the structurally opposite claim of a personal God moving specific human authors at specific points in history to write exactly what he intended. Luke 4:16-21’s reading of a physical, historically transmitted Isaiah scroll and Luke 24’s linear salvation-history summary are the Gospel’s key anchor texts for this contrast, which must be explicitly taught, not merely translated past.
Sabbath and the Law Fulfilled, Not Abolished
Sanskrit name: शब्बातदिनं विधिश्च पूरितौ न लुप्तौ
Key terms: Sabbath, Law, lawful to heal on the Sabbath
Review routing: Human theologian
Jesus’s regular synagogue attendance and his Sabbath-healing controversies model covenant piety fulfilled from within, not abolished; Sabbath (शब्बातदिनम्) must not be equated with ekādaśī, a Vaiṣṇava lunar fasting-vow day involving a different kind of vowed abstention rather than a covenant memorial of creation and rest.
Providence and God’s Personal Care
Sanskrit name: परमेश्वरस्य विधानं तस्य च चिन्ता
Key terms: not a sparrow falls, not a hair of your head will perish, do not be anxious
Review routing: Human theologian
God’s personal, purposive care, never the impersonal karmaphala causal law or the daiva/puruṣakāra (fate versus effort) framework debated in the Mahābhārata; Jesus’s teaching against anxiety (12:22-31) grounds trust specifically in the Father’s character, not fatalistic resignation.
Wealth, Mammon, and the Demands of Discipleship
Sanskrit name: धनं मम्मोनः शिष्यत्वस्य च आवश्यकता
Key terms: mammon, rich fool, rich man and Lazarus, sell all you have
Review routing: Human theologian
Mammon (मम्मोनः, transliterated) is personified as a rival master demanding total allegiance; plain धनम् would lose this personified force. Must be distinguished from wealth/poverty as automatic karmaphala outcomes — Luke frames wealth as a spiritual danger and test of allegiance, not a neutral marker of merit.
Medium Risk Doctrines
Apostleship
Sanskrit name: प्रेषितत्वम्
Key terms: apostle, the Twelve, sent
Review routing: Native speaker review
Risk of reducing apostleship to a guru within a guru-śiṣya-paramparā lineage, or to a ṛṣi perceiving eternal truth rather than one commissioned by the risen, historical Lord.
Prayer and Dependence on God
Sanskrit name: प्रार्थना परमेश्वराधीनता च
Key terms: prayer, ask, seek, knock, Lord’s Prayer, Gethsemane, not my will but yours
Review routing: Native speaker review
Direct, dependent address to a personal Father requires no ritual precision for validity, unlike Vedic ritual invocation (āhvāna, homa) which requires exact mantra performance for efficacy; Gethsemane’s submission of Christ’s genuine human will (22:42) must not be flattened into a denial of real volition, and should be escalated for theologian review at that specific verse.
Mission to the Nations
Sanskrit name: राष्ट्रेभ्यः सुसमाचारप्रचारः
Key terms: sending of the seventy, to all nations, power from on high
Review routing: Native speaker review
Given this Language Package’s scholarly/liturgical rather than lay-mission-field audience, colonial-connotation caution applies with less force than in vernacular Language Packages, but tone should remain descriptive and non-triumphalist, consistent with the baseline’s mission entry.
