Verses 31‐34 were absent from Marcion’s Gospel.

Verses 29‐48 absent.
Verse 9: “For that he also is a son of Abraham,” was not in Marcion’s
text.

Same as St. Luke xx. 1‐8, 19‐36, 39‐47.
Verses 9‐18 not in Marcion’s Gospel.
Verse 19: “They perceived that he had spoken this parable against them,”
not in Marcion’s text.
Verse 35: “But they which shall be accounted worthy of God to obtain that
world,” &c.(446)
Verses 37, 38, omitted.

Same as St. Luke xxi. 1‐17, 19, 20, 23‐38.
Verses 18, 21, 22, were not in Marcion’s Gospel.
Chap. xix.
Same as St. Luke xxii. 1‐15, 19‐27, 31‐34, 39‐48, 52‐71.
Verses absent were therefore 16‐18, 28‐30, 35‐38, 45‐51.
Chap. xx.
Same as St. Luke xxiii.
Verse 2: “And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this one
perverting the nation, and destroying the Law and the Prophets, and
forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and leading away the women and
children.”(447)
Verse 43: “Verily I say unto thee, To‐day shalt thou be with me.”(448)
Chap. xxi.
Same as St. Luke xxiv. 1‐26, 28‐51.
Verse 25: “O fools and sluggish‐hearted in believing all those things
which he said to you,” in place of, “in believing all those things which
the prophets spake.”(449)
Verse 27 was omitted.
Verse 32: “And while he opened to us the Scriptures,” omitted.
Verse 44: “These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet
with you.” What follows in St. Luke, “that all things must be fulfilled,
which were written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms,
concerning me,” was omitted.
Verse 45 was omitted.
Verse 46 ran: “That thus it behoved Christ to suffer,” &c.; so that the
whole sentence read, “These are the words which I spake unto you, while I
was yet with you, That thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from
the dead the third day.”
Verses 52 and 53 were omitted.
I shall now make a few remarks on some of the passages absent from
Marcion’s Gospel, or which, in it, differ from the Canonical Gospel of St.
Luke.
1. It was not attributed to St. Luke. It was Τὸ Εὐαγγέλιον, not κατὰ
Λουκᾶν. Tertullian explicitly says, “Marcion inscribes no name on his
Gospel,”(450) and in the “Dialogue on the Right Faith” it is asserted that
he protested his Gospel was _the_ Gospel, the only one; and that the
multiplicity of Gospels used by Catholics, and their discrepancies, were a
proof that none of these other Gospels were genuine. He even went so far
as to assert that his Gospel was written by Christ,(451) and when closely
pressed on this point, and asked whether Christ wrote the account of his
own passion and resurrection, he said it was so, but afterwards hesitated,
and asserted that it was probably added by St. Paul.
