Luke 11:14,15

Luke 11:14-15 answer to Matthew 9:33-34; Matthew 12:22-24, and Luke 11:16 to Matthew 12:38. The reproduction of these passages here is very summary: the reference to Israel, Matthew 9:33, and the question “is not this the Son of David?” Luke 12:23, e.g., being omitted. Then, further, it is noticeable that the references to the Pharisees and scribes, as the authors of the malignant theory as to Christ's cure of demoniacs and the persons who demanded a sign, are eliminated, the vague terms τινὲς (Luke 11:15) and ἕτεροι (Luke 11:16) being substituted. The historical situation in which Jesus spoke is wiped out, the writer caring only for what He said.
