This volume deals with the exclusive material (Sondergut) of the two Great Synoptics. Luke often exhibits an older stage of transmission than Matthew. In contrast, Luke's texts often display modernized elements transferring the narrative to the Roman world. Susanne Benöhr-Laqueur provides information on what is valid today, while Martin Pennitz analyzes the New Testament accounts of Jesus' trial from a legal-historical perspective.
