La fine di Q (Mt 19,28 // Lc 22,28-30)

Many exegetes consider the saying on the thrones (Matt 19:28 // Luke 22:28- 30) as the end of Q. The fact that a collection of sayings ending with the promise of a sort of enthronement of the disciples is certainly fascinating. For some authors, the content of this logion constitutes an indication of the literary genre of the entire Q. The fundamental question that remains open, however, is whether Q ever existed. In this saying, as in many others, Luke clearly shows a dependence on Matthew. All the differences between the two versions of the saying are in fact attributable to Luke’s editorial work. It is, therefore, a logion that, rather than constituting the end of Q, makes the existence of Q unnecessary
