How Luke edited/changed Mark’s Gospel
Explain how Luke edited/changed Mark’s Gospel for each of the following passages, and what reasons would he have had for doing that. To do this, you first must identify all the changes Luke makes to his Mark source. Then you need to show how those changes contribute to Luke’s overall message, connecting them to Luke’s repeated emphases throughout his Gospel. Use both the following two sets of passages to support your claim, making use ONLY of the resources below (ALL of them!), the Bible, textbooks and Module resources. You may need to appeal to other sections of Luke, to show how these changes fit with wider Lukan themes. 1. How did Luke edit/change Mark 14:3-9 to produce Luke 7:36-50 – and why? (Notice the different location of this passage in Luke’s overall story, compared to its location in Mark’s story.) 2. How did Luke edit/change Mark 3:21,31-35 to produce Luke 8:19-21 – and why? The paper should 350-750 words in length, double-spaced. You must include both reference citations and a bibliography in proper MLA formatting.
