Luke transforms Jesus’ sermon into a more positive way compared to Mark’s. In Luke’s Gospel, the crowd at the Temple seem more welcoming of Jesus teaching, fastening their eyes on Jesus and listen in awe of Jesus’ words and presence. The crowds described in Mark’s Gospel seem less inviting. They question who Jesus is and downgrade his character by wondering about Jesus’ identity, claiming that he is “just a carpenter.” Luke shows Jesus as a more intelligent speaker by adding scriptures about Jesus proclaiming his duty in Luke 4:18-19, giving His followers more reason to believe in him. According to Ehrman, he believed that Luke’s goal was to show Christians that they were never in the wrongdoing. Perhaps he describes Jesus’ followers in a more positive way than Mark in order to fulfill this goal. Additionally, Luke provides more descriptions and background versus to the story, showing that his gospel is historiographic because he possibly did more research on the particular story about Jesus. Mark describes Jesus’ sermon in approximately 2 versus, while Luke describes it in many more, adding specific quotes from Jesus. The versus state that prophets are without honor, and that they cannot perform outside their own town. Jesus teaches through this sermon that egocentrism ruins humanity. He wants His prophets to not see their gift as being God’s privileged amongst society. Jesus seems to expect that was not what the crowds wanted to hear. They wanted to hear that prophets, including Jesus, existed to heal everyone. Luke uses Elijah and Elisha to show readers that they were like Jesus: prophets who heal with humility and in their own towns. The crowds expect more being Jesus’ followers…they want to be healed and graced with health and wealth. But Jesus teaches them that humility is most important and being a follower of Jesus means suffering and simple lives.
