Although the Gospel of Luke is known to have been based substantially on Mark's Gospel, it does not incorporate any material from Mark 6:47-8:27a (except for one saying that may also have been in the 'Q' document), a total of 74.5 verses. It is called the Great Omission or the "Missing Block". This includes, in succession:

  • Jesus walking on water
  • Jesus in the region of Gennesaret
  • clean and unclean
  • the faith of the Syro-Phoenician woman
  • the trip through Sidon and the Decapolis
  • the healing of the deaf and mute man
  • Jesus feeds the four thousand
  • the yeast of the Pharisees and Herod
  • the healing of a blind man at Bethsaida
  • Jesus and the disciples around Caesarea Philippi.

The omission results in the curious statement at Luke 9:18 (NASB), 'And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, "Who do the people say that I am?" ' - corresponding to Mark 6:46,8:27b. Note that at Mark 6:45, Jesus ordered his disciples to get into the boat and go before him, meaning that they could not be with Jesus.
