Excerpt from Some Principles of Literary Criticism and Their Application to the Synoptic Problem

Matt. And Mark agree against Luke in the placing of two sections in which the narrative is evidently threefold: The true kindred of Christ, recorded in Mark 3 31 - 35 and Matt. -50 immediately preceding the parables by the sea (mark - 34; Matt. 131 in Luke follows these parables; the imprisonment of John the Baptist, recorded in Mark 18 and Matt. 4 in connection with the results of the missionary journey of the Twelve, is given by Luke at the close of his account of the preaching of John, Luke 20. In the arrangement of paragraphs within a section Matt. And Mark agree against Luke in the account of the last supper and in the narrative of the trial. Besides these instances there are three in which Luke, though recording an event similar to that of Mark and Matt., evidently gives a wholly independent account unrelated in a literary way; and one in which Luke's account is, in the main at least, independent of Mark, and Matt. Is partly parallel to Mark, partly to Luke. These passages - Luke - 30; - 11; - 50 and - 32 - do not concern us at this point.

Mark and Luke agree against Matt. In the location of thirteen sections, which lie between Matt. And Within these limits there are certain groups of two or three sections the sections of which succeed one another in the same order as in Mark and Luke, but the groups themselves are differently located. In respect to the narratives which precede and follow these limits, Matt. Agrees with Mark in the order of sections except in the transposition of the conversation between Jesus and his disciples con cerning the withered fig tree to a place in immediate connection with the cursing of the tree. But as Luke omits both of these sections, the transposition does not result in a disagreement of Matt. With both Mark and Luke.

Matt. And Luke never agree against Mark in order of sections or paragraphs.
