Som en blixt från klar himmel : En litterär analys av Luk 10:17–24 / Like Lightning from Clear Blue Skies : A Literary Analysis of Luke 10:17–24

The purpose of this essay has been to examine the literary unit of Luke 10:17–24 in its literary context, and to learn what Luke might have intended to mediate about Satan’s, Jesus’ and the seventy(-two)’s power in relation to the kingdom of God. This has been done through a literary and redaction critical analysis. Special attention has been paid to Luke’s ordering of his material, his understanding of Satan in comparison with other jewish apocalyptic writings and his view on discipleship. This essay argues that Luke has constructed his literary unit from both own material and material found in “Q” to create a juxtaposition between Jesus and Satan, and to communicate that the fall of Satan and the arrival of the kingdom of God are two coincident events. Furthermore, this essay claims that there are intrinsic connections between the mission of the seventy(-two) and the mission of Jesus in Luke’s narrative.
