Ancient Judaism developed from the Bible a profound reflection on the Divine qualities and epitomized them in the expressions of “measure-judgment” and “measure-mercy”. Starting with the Synoptic saying on “metron-measure”, the author finds a mention of Godʼs retributive justice in Mark/Matthew. As for Luke, he expands the concept of “measure-mercyʼ and adapts it to the life situation of his communities.
