Document Details : Title: Two Men on a Dining Couch Subtitle: Luke 17,34 as a Meal Scene Author(s): MIROSHNIKOV, Ivan , SOMOV, Alexey B. Journal: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses Volume: 99 Issue: 1 Date: 2023 Pages: 113-129 DOI: 10.2143/ETL.99.1.3291439 Abstract : The Jesus of Luke often participates in banquets and talks about meals in his speeches. Luke 17,34, we suggest, is one such example of the latter, a link that becomes evident when compared to its parallel, Gos. Thom. 61.1, where Jesus speaks of two men reclining on one dining couch. Through this insight, we argue that Luke 17,34 refers to a Eucharistic banquet of an early Christian group, suggesting that the division into two at the eschatological judgment applies even to those who celebrate the Eucharist together. |
