  • From Wesley's Notes. John Wesley (1703-1791).
    • "Our Lord passed most of the time on the cross in silence: yet seven sentences which he spoke thereon are recorded by the four evangelists, though no one evangelist has recorded them all. Hence it appears that the four Gospels are, as it were, four parts, which, joined together, make one symphony. Sometimes one of these only, sometimes two or three, sometimes all sound together."

    • "Indeed, not only because of the greater awareness of the social dimensions of spatiality which existed in antiquity, but also because Luke is actively engaging this dimension, in entering the world of Luke-Acts readers partake of a narrative refiguring of space in all its social and sacred amplitude--a refiguring of profound dimensions."

    • "It is Luke’s intention that the reader understand Son of God in a way that admittedly the Sanhedrin did not. The laws of narratology indicate that Luke 1,35, a part of the Lucan introduction, be used by the reader to interpret Son of God at Luke 22,70."
