Verses 20-49
§ 36. SERMON ON THE MOUNT, Luke 6:20-49 .
We assume without doubt, what Dr. Nast has at length well proved, that Luke here furnishes the same Sermon on the Mount with Matthew, being a briefer report and less nearly verbatim. The slight difference in arrangement of some of the parts is doubtless owing to the variation in the particular original oral tradition, which Luke may have for the first time reduced to writing, or have received in authentic written form.
In order to harmonize the arrangement of Luke’s report of the Sermon with that of Matthew we must read the verses in the following order: Luke 6:20-26, Luke 6:29-30; Luke 6:27-28; Luke 6:32-42. Luke 6:34-35; Luke 6:34-35 in Luke are additional matter.
Be the first to react on this!
