Quotes by David Lyle Jeffrey (?)

“As for the apostles, Luke tells us, once they had returned from their mission, they told him “all that they had done” (9:10a). One would like to have a record of this—and not least an account of what was said by Judas. Yet the verb Luke uses here is diēgēsanto (“they recounted”), a verbal form of the noun Luke uses to describe the genre in which he himself has written (diēgēsis), further strengthening our sense of his Gospel as a gathering of oral reports from participants or eyewitnesses.”

“Psalms as location; he clearly knows the scriptures very well. Psalm 110 was seen in the first century as Davidic; the Septuagint superscription notes this, so that conventional debates about whether this psalm is or is not by David seem moot. Jesus says so, and he was doubtless aware that it was regarded by everyone as a royal psalm, even a coronation anthem (Bock 1994–96: 2.1636–37).”

“The scribes and Pharisees “began to reason” (dialogizesthai); we might also construe this as “rationalize,” and it would make sense of their discourse as to purpose. They see the evidence that, for Jesus, forgiveness is somehow integral to the man’s healing and see the healing itself therefore as blasphemy, since they believe that none but God can forgive sins (5:21). As a species of legal reasoning, given the eyewitness evidence they have chosen to exclude (a miracle has taken place and must owe to some power greater than human reason), their logic is, ironically, “reasonable.” This is one of those instances of which one may, however, say with Lord Peter Wimsey (in Dorothy Sayers’s novel Whose Body?), “There is nothing you can’t prove, if only your outlook is sufficiently limited.” Jesus knows their mind and motive and reveals them to themselves with one devastating question, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts?” (5:22)—a phrase indicating that he knows well enough that their motive has malice—followed by another: “Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk’?” (5:23).”
