In this last video in my Matthean discourses series, I examine places where, yep, we have a saying in one context in Matthew and in what really does look like a different context in Luke, and that's it, and this is no biggie. In other words, with all the other evidence we have of Jesus' tendency to repeat important teachings (and the tendency of other teachers to do this quite normally), we shouldn't flinch from attributing these distinct contexts to repetition by Jesus. This isn't desperate, fundamentalist, inerrantist harmonization but responsible practice.
