Quotation3
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
The Deuteronomic recension of the Decalogue is an equally valid source for the cited commandments; Luke's order (adultery, murder, steal, false witness, honor parents) reflects a known sequence in the LXX tradition shared by both Exodus and Deuteronomy. Direct quotation, high volume.
High confidenceThe Deuteronomic recension of the same commandments is an equally valid source for Jesus' list, and the placement of 'Honor your father and mother' after the social prohibitions mirrors a known ordering. Marked as a parallel high-confidence citation alongside Exodus 20. The two Decalogue forms together secure the quotation.
High confidenceThe whole sequence Jesus recites follows the second-table Decalogue as given in Deuteronomy's repetition; the Matthean order (honor-parents last, plus Lev 19:18) reflects this catechetical cluster.
High confidenceAllusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The Deuteronomic recension of the Decalogue equally underlies the vice list's sequence (honor parents, no killing, no adultery, no stealing, no false witness). Paul's catalogue mirrors this commandment order. Cited alongside Exodus 20 as the dual Decalogue source.
