That "Surely not!", o...Thanks <b>Hausdorff</b>!<br /><br />That "Surely not!", or "May this never be!" (as NIV renders it) response the people give in the Parable of the Wicked Tenants is a bit tricky to decipher, for sure. I do not think that it is an objection to the vineyard owner's course discipline, but rather a rejection of the circumstance. In other words, they were saying: "God forbid a situation like this ever happens." Jesus asking them about the quoted scripture is then equivalent to Him saying: "Oh, not only will it happen, but God told you all a long ago that it would happen. Ah snap!" :-)<br /><br />So I think that the crowd is in agreement with one another between Matthew and Luke... at least in as much agreement as they can be between the different versions.<br /><br />There may very well be some scribal errors in Matthew here.TWFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06016277303703254572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509207392481380457.post-88992412180704781382012-11-06T14:58:37.365-05:002012-11-06T14:58:37.365-05:00I really like the way you are able to compare the ...I really like the way you are able to compare the different versions of the stories and connect them.<br /><br />I noticed something strange with these stories when I was reading through <a href="http://hausdorffbb.blogspot.com/2012/04/luke-20.html" rel="nofollow">luke</a>, it is quite possible that I am just misreading something, but I was curious about your take on it.<br /><br />I was <a href="http://www.biblestudytools.com/esv/passage.aspx?q=matthew+21:39-42;luke+20:15-18" rel="nofollow">comparing</a> the matthew story and the Luke, story, and part of it seems to be opposite. Both of those verses linked pick up right after the son is killed.<br /><br />In the Matthew story, Jesus is speaking up to v.40, he asks the crowd what should be done. In v.41 the crowd responds that the tenants should be killed. In v.42 Jesus responds "have you never read the scripture", implying that what they said was wrong.<br /><br />But then in the Luke verse, Jesus declares that the father will kill the tenants and the crowd responds "surely not!"<br /><br />In both versions Jesus goes on to talk about people being crushed, but I must say I found the Matthew passage confusing. If I had to guess, I would say that there are copy errors in the Matthew version.Hausdorffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690401058367596952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509207392481380457.post-69438564263056128032012-11-04T21:26:17.961-05:002012-11-04T21:26:17.961-05:00Thanks Lorena!

Thank you for pointing that out. To me that screams to me ...literature and bad literature at that, not god breathed words.<br /><br />That reminds me that I want to write a blog post about people who are tortured for not denying god. <br /><br />Lorenahttp://exfundy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
