put these passages, with other unattached material from the Logia and other sources, into this middle, mixed section of his book,—in fact, what else could he do? The material was too important to omit, and he was too conscientious a historical author to create scenes for the several pieces.
{ In the case of three of these passages there are parallels in Mark also: Mt 513=Mk 950=Lk 1494.35, Mt 516=Mk 421=Lk 1133 (and 816), Mt 592=Mk 1011=Lk 1618, There is but one sentence which is put by both Matthew and Luke into the Sermon that has a parallel in Mark, namely, Mt 72=Mk 424b—Lk 638¢; and this saying is of the gnomic type, so that it may have been repeated on various occasions by Jesus. Consequently one is inclined to say that the portion of the Sermon common to Matthew and Luke is not found in Mark. And of the matter in Matthew’s Sermon which is found in Luke outside of the Sermon, or not found in Luke at all, Mark has parallels perhaps for five verses,—the three just indicated, and the two named in the following footnote,—so that the Second Gospel scarcely knows of this teaching material which the First and Third Gospels make so prominent.
§ Except, perhaps, Mt 529.30=Mk 948.47, Mt 614. 15 = Mk 1125, It is worth observing that three passages of the Matthew Sermon have parallels within the First Gospel itself: Mt 529. 30 = Mt 188.9, Mt 582=Mt 199, Mt 718=Mt 1289.

Similarly compare Mt 64=Lk 16% and Mt 77-8= In these four passages there is almost complete verbal agreement—not quite, however— d. And the four sayings Luke as compared with

But such close verbal agreement is exceptional. In all the other parallel passages the variation in literary form is great, as in :—
