I have finally added a detailed comparison of Lk 22 vs. Marcion's gospel to my web site, after a LOOOOONNNNG time trying to understand the variants in Lk...
Depending on which variant you look at, in Lk 22:64 either Jesus’ face is covered, or his eyes are (blindfolded). With apologies for any mistakes in my...
Lk 11:5-8 and 11:11-13 both involve asking and giving, and Lk 11:9-10 appears as though it would fit better after both passages, i.e. after 11:13 instead of...
I have recently started think again about the Great Omission, and (prompted by Google) have just re-read several 2010 posts on the subject on CrossTalk,...
Can anyone explain to me why Mk 2:27 is not considered to be a Western-Non? In D, a, c, d, e, ff2, and i most of this verse is not present (the beginning of...
There is precious little information about Jeffrey B. Gibson. He owns
several e-lists and I find his CV not posted on academia.edu. I am highly
suspicious of...
FYI, "Oxon.", which Jeffrey Gibson so proudly displays, it not an honorific
title. It is merely an abbreviation. In postnominals, "University of Oxford" is...
The divine name is attested as iaw at Soleb in the 15th century as yhw which

Dear list: I am rather amazed if you might be reading this or any of my posts. I have
been banned from several lists, many of which Dr. Gibson owners or...

Here is a site where I have posted my Hebrew Parsing method, which is an

I thought I was done. However . . . Upon further research, I now think that 2 Timothy was not written by Paul,
but belongs to the genre of an Epistolatory...
I'm trying to get my head around these verses. Only Lk 22:37, 39 have parallels, and only Lk 22:39 has a parallel in both Mk (14:26) and Mt (26:30). In all...
Now to be insufferably triumphant, but methinks that Dr. Barré has

In our recent discussion of the alleged accretions in the Gospel of Mark,
Bruce aptly compared the recovery of an original flow of narrative to a
textual...
To: Synoptic In Response to: L M Barré On: pMk From: Bruce I think the crux of the present disagreement is that I do not believe in a pre- or proto-Mark. I...
EBB: Euthus is characteristic of Mark, but whether of redaction (editing of Prior material) or composition (authorial material) I think we cannot say. There is...

Hi everyone, A quick reminder of Synoptic-L's rule number one: *** Please keep messages as concise and as relevant as possible. Recipients are less likely to...
Bruce, All right. The link below should allow to the read the fonts and quickly
spot the indication of narrative continuity across alleged insertions, which...
Mark's highly repetitive of the adverb, euthus, appears to be based upon the
adjective, eutheias (Mark 1:3), where John is "made straight" or "made
direct" the...
I think some further clarification would be helpful. You introduced "pMark" Without defining it. Ron, I minimal demarcation of pMark would be the context for...

Here is my pre-Markan PN (14:1-15:39*). It is quite short, missing only the
