Luke in Codex Bezae: A Jewish Approach to Interpreting the Bible in the Gospel of Luke is an analysis of Jewish hermeneutics used in the NT especially a pattern of redactional doublets within the early 5th CE Greek-Latin bilingual New Testament manuscript of Codex Bezae (D), specifically in the Gospel of Luke. Seven doublets, as well as other very interesting variants, are examined in comparison with Codex Vaticanus (B). As background, the aspects of possible harmonization, prophetical interpretation during the Second Temple Period, intertextuality/internarrativity and use of the Elijah/Elisha motif, and presumably with Jewish rabbinical hermeneutics, support the conclusion that these patterns align in proof of argument for Luke's Jewish background and are representative of the author/redactor's controlling hermeneutic. The conclusions of this study reveal that this pattern is prophetical/affirmational in agreement with the aforementioned methodology during the period of the exemplar.
