This is a study of Luke’s passion narrative bypassing the problem of Luke’s sources for the narrations and sayings proper to his gospel. In his passion narrative Luke procedes in the way he treats the rest of his gospel: he follows the common scheme of Mark and Matthew but he introduces some additions and retouches, as well as omissions and transpositions. Compared to Mk and Mt Luke omits: at the end of his last supper Jesus does not sing with his disciples the Hallel psalms; in the garden he does not select the three disciples to be witnesses of his agony; he does not interrupt his prayer three times to seek consolation from his disciples; Luke omits some elements of mocking, the scourging, the crowning with thorns, the royal purple, and the saying “Eloi, Eloi, ...". Luke also leaves out Matthew’s narration of Judas’ suicide, the intervention of Pilate’s wife on behalf of Jesus, and the people’s outcry: “Let his blood be on us and on our children" (Mt 27,25).
Luke transforms the last supper report into a banquet where the Master instructs his disciples in the greatness of serving and reveals to Peter his weakness and his future role in strengthening his brothers. The agony in Luke is an exemplary prayer of the Master who seeks the will of God for himself. In the hearing before the Jews and Romans, the attitude of the crowd is different from the attitude of the members of the Sanhedrin. On the way of the cross Simon the Cyrenean carries the cross behind Jesus as a harbinger of those who will later follow Jesus. On the way of the cross, and from the cross, Jesus indentifies himself with the evildoers sentenced to death. The crucifixion scene is shaped in such a manner that Jesus the patient sufferer inspires the conversion of the repentant thief, the Roman officer, and the crowd which went home beating their breasts.
Luke adds a new scene where Pilate sends the accused Galilean to Herod Antipas the tetrarch of Galilee. Jesus refuses to satisfy the curiosity of the superstitious politician. In Luke the women of Jerusalem lament over the unjustly convicted Galilean prophet. In his response Jesus compares himself with the green wood as a protest against an unjust conviction, but he accepts his condition as a part of his Father’s will. Luke also adds three new words from the cross. In the first one, Jesus asks God’s pardon for his murderers, and doing so he fulfills his demand on pardoning offenses. In the second he promises paradise to the repentant thief; “with me" means salvation comes from a personal companionship with Jesus. In the third, Jesus accepts his early and violent death aware of having fulfilled his mission. By patient suffering Jesus makes meaningful human sickness and suffering.
