In a 1966 article in New Testament Studies, 1 S. Aalen draws attention to a series of remarkable parallels between Luke's special material and the last chapters of 1 Enoch. Aalen notes, first of all, similarities in ' vocabulary and expression' between Luke and the Greek translation of i Enoch 97 ff. 2 These include oi SIKCCIOOVTES [EOCUT]OOS (I Enoch 102. io//Luke 10. 29, 16. 15; cf. 20. 20, 18. 9-14 [pp. 1-3]); KOCI vuv CnroSeiKvuco upiiv (1 Enoch 104.8//Luke 12. 5; cf. 6. 47 [p. 3]); liri uuxs / cord uias (1 Enoch 99. g//Luke 14. 18 [p. 3]); &-rroMa0E in word combinations and contexts indicating sudden death and/or death together (1 Enoch 98. 3, 16, 99. g//Luke 13. 3, 5 [p. 4]); KXEITTT) /&
An important component in the recent discussion of the Second Gospel has been a continuing fascination with the Markan passion narrative. John Donahue has summarized the research under three headings, which represent recurring questions that scholars have put to the text. (1) What roles did the Scriptures and their motifs play in the formation and growth of the Markan passion narrative? (2) Did Mark make use of an extant passion narrative, and if so, what did it look like? (3) To what extent and in what ways does the Markan passion narrative reflect Mark's own theological and literary interests?
