How come? One verse says one thing and another verse seems to ommit More? Luke 10:3?

Question

3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

Mathew 10:16

16Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and charmless as doves.

Answer 1

Matthew and Luke were speaking to 2 different audiences.

Answer 2

Matthew may have been there, but Jesus spoke in Aramaic, and Matthew wrote in Greek, so the words won't be the same in any case.  The Gospel dates from more than thirty years after Jesus spoke, so memory comes into play.  If Matthew took notes, they would not have been shorthand transcripts.  Portions of Matthew seem to have been based upon a document, commonly called Q, available to both Matthew and Luke, but of unknown authorship.  Whoever that author was, he would have had the same problems as Matthew.

Whatever I have said about Matthew is true for Luke as well, except that Luke was not present, making his first appearance after the death of Jesus in the book of Acts.

Jesus spoke to the people many, many times.  I suspect that, like modern politicians, he had a number of things that he usually said, and that phrases like this were among them.  He may also have said the same thing two or three times on the same occasion as he moved from one part of a large crowd to another.

It is more probable that the general message was recorded correctly than the specific words.  In fact, because of the language difference, we know the actual words are wrong.  No one was speaking English 2000 years ago.  

Answer 3

They were two different narrators  to the testimony of Jesus!  You should know this as a fact, if you have 4 witnesses to an event then you will get 4 different views or interpretations to the event! Eventually leading to some other person on a second hand account changing the words or story even more!

I think in this case the words deffently does not do justice to as what JESUS was telling his disiples to go and do!
