Comparison of the Lost Sheep Parables

 

Why do Matthew and Luke present the incident/teaching in this particular way at this particular point of his particular narrative?

Each Gospel is a piece of literary writing with a theological agenda, so that stories and teaching segments are included to make a point. Therefore, where an author decides to place a particular story or piece of Jesus? teaching matters, because that story or that parable fits his narrative at that place within his larger Gospel narrative better than anywhere else.

How might the distinctive details in Matthew or Luke reflect each author?s theological emphases? Particular details that show up in one Gospel but not in another may tell us something about the author?s special interests and emphases.

What seems to be the significance of this incident/teaching to the Gospel writer?
