I am John from Romania, and I searching after references in connection with the storry of Rich man and Lazarus
"A fourth view holds that the story was not told by Jesus. Proponents of this view suggest that it is significant that only the Gospel of Luke mentions Jesus telling the story"

I want to know how is in Peshitta and if exist another references.
Thank you and God bless you!

Shlama,
the story is contained in the Peshitta.
i personally think, despite how one may wish to interpret the actual content of the account, that suggesting it's sole appearance in Luke as being "significant" to the idea that Messiah never spoke it, is a ludicrous position. How many other teachings of His, or accounts, are only found in one of the Gospels? If the view is taken that a passage is suspect if it only appears in one Gospel, how much would we have to throw out? furthermore, why stop there and not go back into the TN"K (OT) and throw out the multitude of accounts only related once for us?
I really believe it is a dangerous thing to throw suspicion on a passage with that being the sole reason. it is in the Peshitta, and it is in the Greek. the validity shouldn't be questioned. as for the interpretation, well, that is fair game, i suppose, but the validity of it should not be in question.
my two shekels worth!
