Kurzfassung:
Luke’s account of Jesus’s healing of the man enslaved to the centurion exhibits a numberof unusual and unexpected features: a gentile centurion in a small Jewish village, an oddmixture of miracle and pronouncement stories, striking variations from the precedent storyof Elisha, surprising twists in the plot, and others. Rhetoricians of Luke’s day discussedvarious effects that unexpected elements could have on an audience, and some of theseare reflected in this account. Luke has used the multiple unexpected elements of this storyto make it interesting to his audience, to intensify it alongside the raising of the dead, tore-engage his audience after the Sermon on the Plain, and to cement this episode in hisaudience’s memory as a precursor to Cornelius and the larger gentile mission in Acts.
