Canon V

The way in which the Syriac author reworked the accounts of Jesus’ temptations is a useful example of the kind of editorial work he undertook. Matthew and Luke uniquely record a series of three temptations, so Eusebius placed these passages in Canon V:

Mt §16E Lk §16E

Mt 4:2–10 Lk 4:2b–13

However, Matthew and Luke, despite recording the same three temptations, disagree on the order in which they occurred, a divergence that Eusebius’ parallel does not reflect. The Syriac redactor makes this divergence explicit by splitting the original two sections in Matthew and Luke into three sections in each gospel:

Mt §20S Lk §19S

Mt 4:2–4 Lk 4:2b–4
