Best Answer

The passage in Matthew's Gospel is considered to be an elaboration of the original in Mark's Gospel. The author of Matthew, on several occasions, sought to elevate Peter and portray him as greater than the other disciples; here it is taken for granted that it would be Peter who would be able to emulate Jesus. The passage is entirely missing from Luke's Gospel because it is part of the 'Missing Block', a series of probably thirteen pages missing from the copy of Mark's Gospel that the author of Luke relied on for his knowledge of the life and mission of Jesus.
