In spite of Matthew's transpositions, the sections in Luke and Matthew, as grouped in Table IX, still stand in the same _relative_ order. TABLE IX Lk Mt 1 = 1 The preaching of the Baptist 2 = 2 The messianic announcement of the Baptist 3 = 3 The temptation 4 = 4 Blessed are the poor 5 = 7 Blessed are ye that hunger 6 = 11 Blessed are ye when men hate you 8 = 23 Love your enemies 13 = 40 Tree known by its fruits 15 = 41 Why call ye me "Lord, Lord"? 16 = 42 House on rock and sand (with and without foundation) 17 = 44 The centurion's servant healed 18 = 62 Question of John the Baptist, and Jesus' answer 19 = 63 Jesus' testimony to John 25 = 46 Two men who would follow Jesus 27 = 47 The harvest is great, the laborers are few 29 = 52 Instructions to disciples as to what to take on journey 30 = 53 Conduct on the way; greet the house 31 = 54 Whoever receives you, receives you not 32 = 55 More tolerable for Sodom 47 = 91 Woes upon the Pharisees 47 = 92 Ye shut up the kingdom of heaven (take away the key of knowledge) 55 = 98 The watching servant 56 = 99 The true and false servants 62 = 76 Parable of the Mustard Seed 63 = 77 Parable of the Yeast 81 = 94 The day of the Son of man 82 = 96 The days of Noah Each of these groups--one of seven sections, two of four, and six of two sections each--probably stood, within itself, in the same order as that in which we now find it in Matthew and Luke. The sections grouped in Table X have suffered such slight transpositions as to make it probable that each of the groups constituted a continuous passage, probably in the order preserved by Luke.
