Marcion's conception of the purchase can indeed no longer be ascertained in its details.
It may be well to give a few instances of the anomalies presented, upon this hypothesis, by Marcion's text.
Marcion's 'Gospel' consisted of our Luke, expurgated according to his own ideas.
His gospel, called by the ancients the gospel of Marcion, is admitted to have been a mutilated copy of Luke's gospel.
But amongst his other sins with regard to Luke's Gospel, Marcion is also accused of interpolating it.
