Abstract

The “finger of God” allusion in Luke 11:20 is usually recognized to draw from explicit ot occurrences of the phrase, particularly those in Exod 8:15 mt and Deut 9:10. While not denying the influence of those passages, this article aims to explore and elucidate the unique, but oft-neglected contribution of Dan 5 to Luke 11 by way of “finger of God” imagery.
