The parable of wineskins is afterall evidence that *Ev precedes Luke

Post by Giuseppe »


And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, 'The old is better.

(Luke 5:17-39)

The hypothesis that Marcion removed the last verses about the preservation of both old and new requires by Marcion a so careful chirurgical attention about suppression of details supporting the continuity with Judaism, that it surprises the evident lack of an identical attention when Marcion didn't remove details that are even more obvious as support of the continuity with the Judaism: in primis, the fact that Jesus is called 'son of Joseph' in Nazareth or the fact that Jesus exhorted to the observance of the Law of the demiurge (Marcion didn't remove a such detail) to the same person who called him 'good teacher'.

Therefore: *Ev precedes Luke.
