It was self-evident to Luther that the evangelists gave consideration to the plan according to which they would relate the history of Jesus and, with
\nthat in mind, selected and arranged their materials accordingly, abbreviating here and expanding there. In the Church Postil Luther says in the Sermon for the Twenty- fifth Sunday after Trinity (St. Matt. 24:15-28): \u201cIn this chapter is described the conclu-sion and end of both kingdoms, that of Judah and that of the whole world. But the two evangelists, Matthew and Mark, mingle the two and do not keep the order that has been preserved in Luke, for they are concerned only about telling and repeating\u00a0the words without troubling themselves as to the order in which the words were spoken.\u201d \u201cSo understand that Matthew here weaves together and combines the end of the Jewish nation and of the world, mixes them into one dish. But if you wish to understand it you must separate it and apply the parts to their respective ends.\u201d (60\u201361)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
