Luke -- Errors 329-335
#329
Luke 3: (KJV)
32 “Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which
was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of
Naasson,”
The earliest extant manuscripts have “Sala” which is different
than “Salmon” from the Tanakh.
#330
Luke 3: (KJV)
32 “Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which
was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of
Naasson,”
A majority of modern Christian translations have mistranslated “Sala”
as “Salmon” to make it agree to the name from the Tanakh.
#331
Luke 3: (KJV)
33 “Which was the son of Aminadab”
The earliest extant manuscripts lack Aminadab and there is tremendous
variation in names at this point in manuscripts indicating a likely omission
in the original.
#332
Luke 3: (KJV)
33 “Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram,
which was the son of Esrom”
The textual evidence is that “Aram” above should be “Arni”
so “Matthew” has “Aram” as the son of Hezron (Esrom)
and “Luke” has “Arni”. Aram by any other name.
#333
Luke 3: (KJV)
37 “Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad”
There is no “Cainan” in the related genealogy of either the
Masoretic text or Josephus’ listing. “Cainan” is in most
Greek (Christian) translations of the Tanakh but Augustine is the first
Church Father to mention the name so it’s likely that “Cainan”
was added to Greek translations because it was in “Luke”.
#334
Luke 4: (KJV)
1 “And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan,
and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,”
Compare to Mark 1: (KJV)
12 “And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.”
Compare to Matthew 4: (KJV)
1 “Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.”
Luke, like Matthew, didn’t like Mark’s “driven immediately”
and now gives Jesus time to “return from Jordan” before the
wilderness trip giving him time to return his library books and renew
his life insurance first.
#335
Luke 4: (KJV)
3 “And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command
this stone that it be made bread.”
Compare to Matthew 4: (KJV)
3 “And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son
of God, command that these stones be made bread.”
Luke sez “stone” while Matthew sez “stones”. We’ve
seen before how “Matthew” likes to multiply stuff.
