To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We have seen how Matthew, as compared with Mark, has a per* spective of its own which reveals the needs of its readers and the religious ideals of its author. Sa is it with Luke. It is the broadly human andhu* mane gospel. It sets forth Jesus as the Saviour of true humanity from all snarea and bondages. Xuka felt Acutely the. dualism of life, .thjQ..lifejciLsel£.and •in,:tbe,JUfe. of. love, to God.and man^ ..Th&ssyinpia-^ tbetic^ physician locked, out. with .pitying ey^ on the bondage to evil, ...both moral and physical, under which humanity groaned. And of the snares by which mankind was lured to its ruin, none seemed to him more potent that the worldly desires bound up with riches and the pursuit of them. This side of. Christ's own teaching had come under his notice in a spe- eially emphatic form in one of his sources. Luke has preserved it and made it a prime feature of hia own gospel. . . Over against the tyranny of the forces of ill, Luke places in strong relief the power of the Holy Spirit, connecting all salvation with His agency (^* power of the (Holy) Spirit," or simply " holy spirit " ).
