perhaps it was Marcion himself that dropped Bethsaida from the Evangelion i.e. Ephraim had a copy of the Evangelion prior to Marcion dropping Bethsaida from his copy of this early gospel. Sure, or somebody dropped Nazareth from the Evangelion as part of an evolving theology which was trying to dist...

If the Evangelion originally had Bethsaida instead of Nazara.... when was the change made... If I had to guess (and, lets face it, I do) I would think it would be when Matthew was written, in order to give Jesus another fulfilled prophecy (that he would be a Nazar-ene/ite) and was later harmonized....

Klinghardt, Matthias. The Oldest Gospel: A Missing Link in New Testament Scholarship, Kindle Edition I noticed something when reading a footnote of Couchcloud--he says that in Ephram's copy of the Evangelion has "Bethsaida" here instead of Nazara or Nazareth. Curiouser and curiouser. Here...

[ Nazara entered the Jesus tradition before Nazareth did. FWIW Marcion's Evangelion (which is our earliest witness to the text of Luke) has "Nazareth", not "Nazara". Tertullian doesn't note a difference in place name with his copy of Luke. Matthias Klinghardt, in The Oldest Gosp...

Richard Carrier's book, Jesus from Outer Space , has been released in Polish and Greek. My popular market summary of my academic study of Jesus, Jesus from Outer Space, is now available in Greek and Polish translations. Follow the links for details and to buy one. These are not available in the Amer...

And Josephus - based on ?. OK, I'll take a guess - pure speculation of course - Agrippa II. How do you do it, maryhelena? Secret Alias wrote a "...silly little book" [His words...] on A-II and HE didn't get it. Everyone, please look at "The Baptism of John" and "The Baptism...

After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers (Luke 2:46-47) ...was based on Josephus's Life 2: ...and I made mighty proficiency in the improvement...
