| Summary: | This paper stresses the importance of reading any text within its immediate and larger context. The significance of the repetition and recurrence of certain themes within Luke 12:35-48, as well as within the wider context of the syntactic unit of Luke 11:14-13:9 and, even beyond, within the travel narrative (Lk 9:51-19:28/44) and in the remainder of Luke's Gospel and Acts, is investigated and illustrated. The repetition of specific themes is shown to have added to their significance. The technique enriches the story, strengthens the unity of the narrative and persuades the reader through its forcefulness. |
