Deuteronomy 8:3
Psalm 91:11-12
Deuteronomy 6:16
Deuteronomy 5:9; 6:13; 10:20
Matthew:**********************
Mark:
Luke:
This system of color coding the synoptic
texts is adapted from Gordon D. Fee, New Testament Exegesis: A Handbook
for Students and Pastors (Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1983), 105-109.
The coding is based upon the underlying Greek text, rather than an English
translation, in order to be more precise.
The importance of this procedure is defined
by Fee as "you will have isolated (a) the actual amount of Mark's text
reproduced by Matthew and/or Luke, and (b) the amount and kinds of variation
from mark's text in either of the other Gospels."
3Taken from Exodus 24:18 (NRSV), "Moses entered the cloud, and went up on the mountain. Moses was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights."
4Taken from Deuteronomy 8:3 (NRSV), "He humbled you by letting you hunger, then by feeding you with manna, with which neither you nor your ancestors were acquainted, in order to make you understand that one does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord."
5Taken from Psalm 91:11-12 (NRSV), "(11) For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. (12) On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone."
6Taken from Deuteronomy 6:16 (NRSV), "Do not put the Lord your God to the test, as you tested him at Massah."
7Taken Deuteronomy 5:9 (NRSV), "You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and fourth generation of those who reject me," Deut. 6:13 (NRSV), "The Lord your God you shall fear; him you shall serve, and by his name alone you shall swear," Deut. 10:20 (NRSV), "You shall fear the Lord your God; him alone you shall worship; to him you shall hold fast, and by his name you shall swear."

critical perspective into which literary form (genre) does the temptation
narrative fall?

____ #. (3.2.2.9) From a redaction critical perspective, the temptation narrative in Matthew serves to emphasize what aspect of Jesus in light of the comment below?
"The story of Jesus' resistance to Satanic temptation could show that Jesus did not get his miraculous power from the Devil. But Matthew does not make the story serve that point. Unlike Adam in the Garden of Eden, Jesus refuses to sin even under the trying conditions of a wilderness. But in omitting the reference to wild animals Matthew pay no attention to the comparison between Jesus and Adam. Instead, he sticks to the non-Markan source he shares with Luke. In that source Jesus' answers to Satan, all drawn from passages concerning the testing of Israel in the wilderness, imply a parallel between Jesus and Israel.

Answer the following questions from this synoptic gospel pericope,
“Four Fishermen Called”(3.2.5.3)
| Matthew 4:18-22 | Mark 1:16-20 | Luke 5:1-11 |
|
18 As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who
is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea — for
they were fishermen. 19 And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make
you fish for people." 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed
him.
21 As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him. |
16 As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother
Andrew casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus
said to them, "Follow me and I will make you fish for people." 18 And immediately
they left their nets and followed him.
19 As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20 Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him. |
1 Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, 2 he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. 4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch." 5 Simon answered, "Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets." 6 When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!" 9 For he and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken; 10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people." 11 When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him. |

| Matt. 28:1-10 | Mk. 16:1-8 | Lk. 24:1-12 | Jhn 20:1-10 |
| 1 After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. 4 For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples, "He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.' This is my message for you." 8 So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them and said, "Greetings!" And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me." | 1 When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. 2 And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. 3 They had been saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?" 4 When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. 6 But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you." 8 So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. | 1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in, they did not find the body. 4 While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them. 5 The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. 6 Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again." 8 Then they remembered his words, 9 and returning from the tomb, they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles. 11 But these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. 12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; then he went home, amazed at what had happened. | 1 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. 2 So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." 3 Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb. 4 The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, 7 and the cloth that had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. 8 Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; 9 for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. 10 Then the disciples returned to their homes. |
