Marcion Luke Parallel

Previous page: Marcion’s Gospel, Compared Verse by Verse With Luke

The sub-pages of this page each contain a table showing the (English) text of a chapter of Marcion's Gospel of the Lord [Mcg] side-by-side with the parallel text of Luke. The left-hand ‘Marcion’ column contains the most likely content of Mcg, as determined using the criteria described in Reconstructing Marcion's Gospel and Textual Considerations, with the KJV text of Luke (right-hand) as the basis of the translation. For detailed verse-by-verse discussions as to why particular passages, verses, phrases, or words have been either included or excluded, see Marcion’s Gospel, Compared Verse by Verse With Luke.

The text in each table is color-coded, as follows:

• Text in black – undisputed Lukan text also present in Marcion's gospel;

• Text in blue – words in Luke most likely not present in Marcion's gospel (Minor translation differences are generally not marked);

• Text in green – words in Luke that may or may not exist in Marcion's gospel, ie. where their existence in Marcion is disputed;

• Text in pink – additional words in Marcion's gospel probably not present in Luke (Minor translation differences are generally not marked);

• Text in Light Orange – words in Marcion's gospel in a different place to the same words in Luke.
