Synoptic Gospels 3
- The Case for for
Luke's use of Matthew
- 1. The Minor
Agreements
- "Agreements between Luke and Matthew
against Mark in the Triple Tradition material"
- If Luke sometimes agrees with Matthew against
Mark in important ways, then Matthew and Luke
were not written independently of one another.
- If they were not written independently of one another, Q is no
longer required to explain the Double Tradition material - for
this, Luke can be dependent primarily on Matthew.
- Jesus being mocked -
Matthew 26.67-68 Mark
14.65 Luke 22.64
- Q does not have, according to any of its
contemporary defenders, a Passion Narrative.
- 2. Passages in which Mark
is not the middle term
- There are major agreements
between Mt & Lk
- Commonly called the
'Mark/Q overlap'
- 3. The narrative
element in Q
- Much of 'Q' is sayings
material / 'sayings source'
- Beatitudes, parables, aphorisms,
exhortation and teaching material.
- But it does has
a narrative order
- Elements in the narrative
sequence show the clear signs
of Matthew's redactional hand.
- 4. Editorial
fatigue
- Evidence Luke became fatigued in
his redaction of Matthew
- There is not evidence of Matthew becoming
fatigued in his use of Q, which is usual, as
he did in his redaction of Mark
- Occam's Razor
- British mediaeval philosopher
William of Occam
- "Entities should not
be multiplied beyond
what is necessary"
- No point to postulating a
hypothetical document when
we already have a plausible
theory in Luke's use of Matthew
