LUKE 9:51 TO LUKE 18:14. Lk. now more than atones for his great
omission (of Mark 6:45 to Mark 8:26) by a great insertion. This
section is mainly peculiar to Lk. It describes incidents of the last
journey from Galilee to Jerusalem.... [ Continue Reading ]
THE MISSION OF THE TWELVE (Mark 6:7 * [Mark 6:1 has already been used
in Luke 4:14], Matthew 10:1; Matthew 10:5 *).... [ Continue Reading ]
HEROD ANTIPAS AND JESUS (Mark 6:14 *, Matthew 14:1 f.*). Herod does
not here suppose that John has risen. With the last clause of Luke
9:9; cf. Luke 13:31. Lk. omits the long story of the death of cf. John
3:18.... [ Continue Reading ]
THE FEEDING OF THE MULTITUDE (Mark 6:31 *, Matthew 14:13 *). Lk., like
Mt., abbreviates Mk He fixes the scene at Bethsaida; in Mk. Jesus
crosses the lake to that town afterwards, but perhaps Mk. is wrong and
means Capernaum.
Lk. omits the walking of Jesus on the water, and other material found
in Ma... [ Continue Reading ]
THE GREAT CONFESSION (Mark 8:27 to Mark 9:1 *, Matthew 16:13 *). The
changes are inconsiderable. Lk. omits the locality, but represents
Jesus as at prayer; _cf. Luke 3:21_, Luke 9:29; Luke 11:1, The reply
of the disciples, one of the old prophets is risen again, reflects or
perhaps is the source of... [ Continue Reading ]
THE TRANSFIGURATION (Mark 9:2 *, Matthew 17:1 *). Again Jesus is
pictured as praying. The theme of His conversation with Moses and
Elijah is given, viz. His decease (lit., exodus; significant in
connexion with Moses) at Jerusalem. In Luke 9:32 text is better than
_mg._ The pronouns in Luke 9:34 are... [ Continue Reading ]
LUKE 9:37_ A_. HEALING OF THE DEMONIAC BOY (Mark 9:14 *, Matthew 17:14
*). Lk. is careful to say this was on the next day. The child is again
an only one (Luke 7:12; Luke 8:42). The Gr. word for dashed him down
is one that was used by prize-fighters. With Luke 9:43_ a cf. Luke
5:17; Luke 5:26_.... [ Continue Reading ]
THE QUESTION OF PRECEDENCE. THE UNATTACHED EXORCIST (Mark 9:33 *,
Matthew 18:1 *). Lk.'s editorial hand is seen in his transferring Luke
9:48 b (he that is least, etc.) from its better position in Mk., and
in his making Jesus see the reasoning of their heart. Mark 9:41 is
omitted; Mark 10:1 = Luke 9... [ Continue Reading ]
INHOSPITABLE SAMARITANS. The journey was begun by the direct road
through Samaria (for Lk.'s interest in Samaritans _cf. Luke 10:33_,
Luke 17:16; contrast Matthew 10:5), though Jesus appears (Mk., Mt.)
later to have gone across Jordan into Peræ a (_cf._ Luke 9:56 *).
LUKE 9:51. RECEIVED UP: a refe... [ Continue Reading ]
ASPIRANTS TO DISCIPLESHIP (Matthew 8:19 *), Lk.'s setting is preferred
by some to Mt.'s, and his version of the second case (Luke 9:59 =
Matthew 8:21) in which Jesus begins, and the man is not yet a
disciple, is certainly better, with its addition Go thou and publish,
etc. The third instance is pecu... [ Continue Reading ]
