Footnote 1 – Triumph over Temptation
When Matthew and Luke share material that is lacking in Mark, the common assumption is that Matthew and Luke depend on a now-lost source that scholars call Q (see Stephen J. Patterson, “Yes, Virginia, There Is a Q,” BR 11:05). When, as in this case, the shared material is presented differently, the question that immediately arises is, Which gospel most accurately represents the hypothetical source Q?
