Abstract
This chapter discusses the 14 linguistic features that have been qualified as septuagintisms or Hebraisms and could eventually point to Luke's use of Scripture. The example of the threefold sentence pattern in item one shows that we cannot limit the question of Luke's use of the OT to simple words or phrases, and must try to look for larger patterns, and even to OT motifs or text units. The latter is especially the case with item three and item fourteen, both which point to a conscious parallelism between the main character of Luke's story and the prophet Elijah. The chapter checks the fourteen items to see whether they resist critical assessment. It shows how Luke's biblical language/style is related to the Septuagint and answers the question whether Luke used a Hebrew source. Special attention is given to the Elijah-Jesus parallelism in Luke 9:51-56. Keywords:biblical language; Elijah-Jesus parallelism; Hebraisms; Luke 9:51-56; Scripture; Septuagint
