The claim that later New Testament (NT) texts were “Judaized” to link Jesus to the Hebrew Bible/Torah relies on Marcion’s first NT, consisting of the Evangelion (Gospel of the Lord), predates the canonical Luke and was not a redaction. Scholars like Dr. Markus Vinzent and Dr. Mark G. Bilby argue this scientifically. Key examples, like the virgin birth (Lk 2:49) and temple references (Lk 19:46), are absent in the Evangelion, suggesting they were added to connect Jesus to the Torah.

In the Evangelion, Jesus simply descends to Capernaum (Evangelion 1.1, cf. Lk 3:1), with no prior narrative tying him to Jewish tradition. Similarly, events in Lk 19:29-48 (e.g., riding a colt, cleansing the temple) are missing in Evangelion 15.2, which only describes Jesus teaching in the temple. These additions are seen as attempts to align Jesus with YHWH, despite Jesus never equating YHWH with his Father.

The contrasting behaviors of YHWH and the Father presented by Jesus highlight this disconnect, as noted by Marcion and pre-Nicene perspectives. Jesus’ instruction to judge by fruit suggests his Father differs from YHWH.
