I think the relation between Galilee and Judah changed several times. Galilee was annexed by Judah at least by the time of Alexander Jannaeus. After the end...
... I was thinking of this as well. But was John really referring to Jews in general, or was he sometimes quite intentionally restricting his focus to the...
... Yes, I think you & John are right; I was conflating the spread of the good news during Jesus' lifetime with what happened after his ascension. That is a...
... I am aware that the underlying Greek term is ambiguous, but the way it is presented to us in translation specifies the geographic and political unit that...
Yes, John has it right I think. This is meant to be a summary of "proclamation of the word", (by which I think Luke means activity of Jesus' ministry -- not...
Whatever the writer's intention, Galilee is in some uses part of the land of the Jews, a greater Judaea including Judaea proper, Galilee and Peraea. Stephen...
Bob, The words you refer to in Acts 10 refer to Jesus' preaching before his passion, Acts 1:8 refers to the preaching of the church post-Pentecost. "After the...
Bob, I think that 'beginning in Galilee' could well be a later insertion like Mk 14:28 & 16:7, not to mention the whole of John 21. To my mind, after Peter's...
... This morning, one of the readings was from Acts 10:34-43, which portrays Peter saying, "That message spread throughout Judea[!], beginning in Galilee[!]...
Ed: Your question is the grammatical difference? Both Mark and Luke use the same verb, perikaluptein... Mark as an infinitive and Luke as a participle. Mark...

If I may ask, what is the exact difference in the covering over Jesus' head/eyes in Mark and Luke? Mark says head covered, Luke says blindfold. Is there any...
Paul wrote, NRS 1 Corinthians 1:22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom,... I got to wondering (again) about these key words, but today I got to...
Interesting question. My guess is that in the initial stage there exist high expectations which are not always fulfilled. In the case of Primitive...

John indicates that Iscariot was a family name of some sort and that Judas’ father Simon was also an Iscariot. It seems unlikely that multiple family members...
Bob: More likely this points to the fact that the meaning is really "man from Kerioth" as Jack has proposed. One other thing that is worth noting. For...
