Agabus and Mnason
Early Christian witnesses (per Acts 21) that Luke could have used as a source
Paul
Luke's missionary companion and a likely source; Luke's account of the last supper parallels 1 Corinthians 11 closely
Three-Stage Theory
Luke=Matthew + L, where L=Paul, James, John (?), possibly Phillip the Evangelist, Agabus, Mnason, and other family members
Q (Quelle)
From two-source theory, a lost body of sayings Jesus called "Q" used by both Matthew and Luke in addition to Mark
Synoptic Gospels

Gospel of Matthew
Christology: fulfiller of prophecy (14 formula quotations), fulfillment of God's purposes (Christ is a new Moses), fulfillment of Christ's Church. Structure: geographical outline of Mark, body divided into five parts like the Torah, each with a narrative followed by discourse. Uses infancy and resurrection to frame body of Christ's ministry. SCRIBE BACKGROUND AT WORK

Proclamation of John the Baptist
In Matthew; 6th formula quotation (3:3-Isaiah 40:3), Elijah imagery. Matthew also adds a scathing attack on Pharisees and Sadducees
Baptism of Jesus
Luke emphasizes Jesus' own knowledge and omits discussion of worthiness and fulfilling righteousness, but adds in emphasis on the Spirit; Matt. emphasizes witnesses and softens Marks apocalyptic imagery while Luke has heavens opening as a result of prayer rather than baptism
Temptations of Jesus
Luke changes order from Matt's ABC to ACB to move Satan's question of Christ's divinity to the last for emphasis. MATTHEW: God was present, so temptation is only PART of the experience. Wilderness imagery: Moses and Elijah--40 days=40 years. Tests for Matthew all have reference to Deut. scriptures.

LUKE: beginning of controversy with Pharisees. stories appear later in Luke than in Matthew to serve as discourse section of his 5-part gospel; in Luke the material is left "in order"

LUKE: occurs right before the healing of the Gerasene demonic

delivered to a large, public audience of jews and gent.s, either right after the S. on the Mt or at a different time and place; shorter than S on Mt., missing all ethical material on almsgiving, fasting, etc (but that info given in other places), more explicitly connected to call of the twelve
Beatitudes and Woes
LUKE: sermon on the plain, 6:20-6:26, woes aimed at rich
Love and Mercy
sort of like the antitheses in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew, these admonitions from Luke's Sermon on the Plain focus on the emotion behind our actions; "Be ye therefore merciful" compares to Matthew's "be ye therefore perfect"

**smooth geographical progression attempts to lay out history "in order"
Structural essay
MATT: follows structure of Mark but adds discourses, focus on the doctrine
LUKE: focus on smooth geographical progression and putting history "in order"
How does Matt. show Christ as new Moses
long discourses reveal Christ as teacher and lawgiver; 10 miracle block in part 3
How does the Sermon on the Mount fulfill the law?
Makes it complete/deeper
Fulfills requirements/brings to an end/finishes, fulfills intent, fulfills higher standard
How do we meet the demands of Sermon on the Mount
Be ye perfect: mature, progressing towards being like God, (even Christ at that time wasn't perfect), main thrust of law of Moses was to love God and love others; to meet the demands here we need to fulfill law at a deeper level by loving more (see 6 antitheses)
Miracles in Matthew: reminiscent of Moses
Patterned into three groups for 10 total; references to Moses during cleansing the leper; 2 blind men condensed into one miracle to adhere to 10 miracle structure
How does JST amplify understanding of Matthew?
Clarifies passages that have become muddled; JST on the parable of old/new clothes makes it clear the parable is about replacing the old law with the new law
Matthean parables in Sermon of the Parables vs. Marcan parables
mustard seed here is a faith application, as opposed to talking about the kingdom of God. Both cover parable of the sower, with Matthew's account more detailed. Unique to MATT are parable of leaven, wheat and tares, and scribe prepared for the kingdom. Sources include Matthew's discipleship and Quelle
Summarize mission sermon and significance of persecution
Calling of the 12
significance of persecution and rewards: 12 will be hated for his name's sake, but those who endure will be saved, and those who receive message receive God
Why were the Pharisees a wicked and adulterous generation? Why beware of their leaven?
Matt 16 hypocrites, they ask to receive a sign, as do the wicked, they receive the sign of Jonas.

LUKE 12: we learn that "leaven" is hypocrisy
Analyze "Thou art Peter and upon this Rock..."
MATT: he was there, it's in the narrative to show where the Church's authority comes from, linguistic issues are that Christ was speaking Aramaic, which has only one word for rock, translated from Greek, which has a masculine and feminine, so Peter has to be masculine, the church feminine. Should understand that "rock" is the revelation given through Peter (or head of church)
Relate question on temple tax
Question of whether Christ and disciples should pay a tax to the temple; hadn't because they are kingdom of God, king taxes servants not children--Peter then goes and finds 4 drachma in a fish to pay the tax
Attribution of 3rd gospel to Luke
Acts claims to be continuation of third gospel, patristic evidence names Luke companion of Paul as author, consistent with "we" sections in Acts, called the "beloved physician" in Colossians; this background affects his approach
Repentence, Forgiveness, and Discipline in Sermon on the Church
theme: God's purpose will be fulfilled in the Church, we must have unlimited forgiveness (number of completion used), cut off body parts, repentance (parable of lost sheep given), we can always return
Unique contributions of Luke
Special focuses on women (lost coin, bent woman, widow of nain, unjust judge, mixing dough), most of the Perean ministry, dishonest steward
Elements of Luke's style and format
Very interested in miracles, lots of focus on empirical proof and geographical consistency
Scope of Salvation
The Gospel Net is very broad; publicans get into heaven--innocents (young children; Zaccheus' name means innocent). starts and ends with publicans to serve as an inclusio--mercy obtained by seeking Christ with humility
Meaning of the Parable of the Dishonest Steward
Those who make friends with mammon will be welcomed into that kingdom; no man can serve two masters; some interpret as "let's be in the world but not of the world" but the clear juxtaposition with the kingdom of heaven makes that unlikely
Significance of Eschatological Sermon
Teaches us to be watchful; JST provides info on parable of watchful servant that is missing in MATT. If we're watchful, we'll be ready when he comes
Discuss Parable of Good Samaritan
LUKE: Christ just came from the Samaritan village where he was rejected, the levite and the priest who passed by would have been concerned about being made unclean, historically Jews and Samaritans didn't get along because they were the remnant of the northern kingdom that intermarried with gentiles
Conflict between Mary and Martha
preceded immediately by the 2 highest commandments and good samaritan parable; our highest duty is to God
discuss Bent woman
significance was to show purpose of Sabbath is for liberation and worship
differences between lost objects in Luke
Sheep wandered off, coin was lost by owner, son lost himself. First two are found, the third finds himself
Luke and women
Emphasize a lack of racial or sexual bias, concerned with poor, oppressed, and marginalized, highlights compassion of Jesus
Why use parables?
Parables teach those who are prepared, lucan parables show no racial or sexual bias, also should not be taken too literally, generally common life experiences appeal to am-Ha'aretz
Differences between Sermon on the Mount and Sermon on the Plain
1st is longer, (111 vs. 32), given either at diff. times or was given just to apostles
2nd: blessed are poor, woe unto rich, also connected more with call of the 12, Christian compassion and action
Arguments for/against same time delivery of Sermons on Mount and Plain
For: similar material, similar timeframes
Against: material lacking in Sermon on the Plain is found in other parts of Luke; call to the 12 focus in Luke inconsistent with idea of sermon to the masses
