Cf. Fitzmyer, Luke (I-IX), 581. For the picture of the Pharisees that emerges through Luke’s narrative, see especially J. Darr, On Character Building: The Reader and the Rhetoric of Characterization in Luke-Acts (Louisville: Westminster/John Knox, 1992) 85-126. It should be noted, however, that although the designation “Pharisee” holds negative connotations for Luke, he is capable of nuancing the picture of individual Pharisees. Cf. R.C. Tannehill, “Should We Love Simon the Pharisee? Hermeneutical Reflections on the Pharisees in Luke,” CurTM 21 (1994) 431-433. J.A. Ziesler has argued that Luke holds a positive view of the Pharisees (“Luke and the Pharisees,” nts 25 [1979] 146-157), but he has overstated his case (see J.D. Kingsbury, “The Pharisees in Luke-Acts,” in The Four Gospels 1992: Festschrift Frans Neirynck 2 [betl 100; eds. F. v. Segbroeck, C.M. Tuckett, G. v. Belle and J. Verheyden; Leuven: Leuven University Press, 1992] 1497-1512; cf. also J.T. Carroll, “Luke’s Portrayal of the Pharisees,” cbq 50 [1988] 607-616). In any case, Ziesler is aware of the theological differences between Luke and the Pharisees, and he observes that these differences concern the law and Christology (“Pharisees,” 151).

Cf. Fitzmyer, Luke (X-XXIV), 1121. However, the Damascus Document probably prohibits polygamy, not remarriage, and the Temple Scroll only concerns the king. See D. Instome-Brewer, Divorce and Remarriage in the Bible: The Social and Literary Context (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2002) 61-72. Several scholars conclude that Luke in 16:18 understood Jesus to uphold and interpret the law (J. Jervell, “The Law in Luke-Acts,” htr 64 [1971] 28; Klinghardt, Gesetz und Volk Gottes, 88-89; W. Wiefel, Das Evangelium nach Lukas [thknt 3; Berlin: Evangelische Verlagsanstalt, 1988] 296; Loader, Jesus’ Attitude, 338; J.

Esler thinks Luke saw v. 18 as an intensification of the law (Community and Gospel, 120-121). Salo maintains that Luke’s composition is intended to hide the fact that Jesus’ teaching differed from the law (Luke’s Treatment of the Law, 146-149). Sanders finds the prohibition against divorce to be a regulation of the law that applied to both Jews and Gentiles (The Jews in Luke-Acts, 201).

Hans Hübner thinks that Luke has preserved conflicting material and sees 16:17-18 as an example. According to him, 16:18 amounts to an abrogation of the law (Gesetz in der synoptischen Tradition, 207; cf. Wilson, Luke and the Law, 51). Hübner is correct that there is a tension between Luke 16:18 and Deut 24:1-4. However, it is now widely recognized that Luke wrote as a theologian in his own right. Rather than assume that Luke is self-contradictory, it is better to try to understand after the logic that Luke may have seen in the disparate sayings he includes.
