Synopsis

Excerpt from The Teaching of Jesus About the Future: According to the Synoptic Gospels

It will be agreed that document G shows a marked uniformity in general literary character; that the narratives are all vividly told, sur passing in this respect even the vivid narratives of Mark; and that in literary style it reaches the high-water mark of the gospel material. Like Mark in the Galilean period, its chronological data are few and simple; and, as to place, it might appropriately be called the Caper naum document, knowing Nazareth, but no other city by name except Nain. As a source, it also offered freedom for editorial rearrangement, if such were at any point the wish of its user in gospel construction.

Within the document M there are neither chronological nor geo graphical data, except the assertion that the Sermon was spoken on the Mount. The material is discourse, the narrative element forming no part of this collection. Therefore, an editor might distribute it as he wished, having regard only for the fact that two large bodies of the material stood as formal and well-articulated addresses. But though the several vivid parables which form the second group, M - 2 5, all had a similar theme, the kingdom of heaven, they permitted, by their literary character as separate units, distribution to such various points within narrative material as might be deemed appropriate by an editor.
