Excerpt from The Sources of Luke's Perean Section: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate Divinity School in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department Pf New Testament Literature and Interpretation

Though Matthew is not in general careful to avoid including two incidents similar to each other, his use of a partial parallel to Luke 10 2 5 - 28 derived from Mark in 22: 34 - 40 might have led him to omit it. We have already noticed the possible evidence that Matthew was there influenced by the language of this passage.

Luke 10: 38 - 42 consists of a saying of Jesus and a narrative leading up to it, either of which is pointless without the other. That the saying early caused offense or difficulty in Christian circles seems evidenced by the change and omission found in quotations, early versions, and texts of it. The indication that Jesus preferred the hearing of his word to active ministry to his physical needs might seemingly have been thought somewhat dangerous to the Christian circle for which Matthew wrote. For notice Jas. 1 22 Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, and Paul's urging of useful work on members of the Christian community 2 If any will not work, neither Shall he eat; Work with your hands, and especially the scene given by Matthew only, in 25 31 - 46, in which the eternal fate of those of all the nations is decided according to their ministry or lack of it to Christ in the person of his brethren. That is, Matthew might have feared the danger of his readers' misinterpreting the saying, as it was actually misinterpreted, to mean that hearing Jesus' word was the one thing needful (principle The omission of the say ing would carry with it that of the whole section.
