To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Vii. 6), is the answer of Matthew to the question, Did Jesus show sympathy for the sinners (i. E. , Gentiles) ? The four Gospels go so far as to assert that Jesus taught in parables in order that the sinners who came to him for sympathy should not understand, and were to remain in ignorance and sin (Matt. Xiii. 13 ; Mark iv. 12 ; Luke viii. 10 ; John xii. 40). If, then, as we believe, there is no historical proof that Jesus felt profound sympathy for sinners, is it not a fact that Luke was the ...first to sound this new note in the history of religion ? Our review of the facts of history compels us to answer this question in the negative. As we shall see, Philo is full of genuine sympathy for the sinners, even going so far as to hold out a larger share of Divine pity for the unfortunate ones who, by reason of their sin, had lost all hope of God's pardon. There is no occasion to offer any further criticism on the parable as a whole or in detail. THE GRACE OF GOD 23 The excellent commentaries of Plummer, Weiss, Holtzmann, and Jiilicher, deal exhaus- tively with the text.
