“... When we come to the version in CGT 16, we notice elements proper to both Matthew and Luke in Jesus’ saying. In my translation of CGT 16, I put in italics wording that is unique to Matthew, while I underline wording that is unique to Luke: “Jesus said: ‘Perhaps men think that I have come to cast peace upon the world. And they do not understand that I have come to cast divisions upon the earth: fire, sword, war. For there shall be five in a house: three shall be against two and two against three; the father against the son and the son against the father; and they shall stand as solitary people [literally: they shall stand being solitary].’ ” [...] Most notably, the text of Mic 7:6 (“For son dishonors father, daughter rises up against her mother, daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; the enemies of a man [are] the men of his house”) is represented almost exactly in Matt 10:36. In contrast, Luke 12:53 expands the clauses that describe opposition so that both sides in each clause are equally the attackers and the attacked; at the same time, Luke omits the last clause of Mic 7:6 (“and the enemies . . .”). This expansion-plus-omission is widely judged to be Luke’s redactional alteration, and it is represented practically word-for-word in CGT 16. Nevertheless, individual words that are unique to Matthew’s version (“cast,” “upon,” “sword”) appear in Thomas’ version as well, while the Lucan word “division” (diamerismos) is also represented. ...”
