Did you find any examples of the scribe placing an accent in the empty space to the right of a word ending in a ligature (as opposed to placing it over a letter to the right of a ligature)? Ha, I didn't look, I just knew about that example because I stared at your pictures so hard they are burned i...

So the question of the general use of the ligatures might be for another thread. Oh man, I'd prefer to have them here, at least those which are directly relevant to deciding this question anyways. The secret Mark stuff is already quite spread out, and its hard enough to get a sense of what ground h...

Matthew loves to double all kinds of things. Double blind men healed....he even rides into Jerusalem on a donkey and a horse!! Is the Donkey James and the colt Paul?

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...

The only thing I can say at the moment is that Matthew and Mark have wildly different incentives. Matthew, at least the sermon on the mount, is concerned with ethics; Mark is concerned with mystery. What is more mysterious than love your enemies? I mean, even the Gospel of Thomas has parallels to t...

It's possible that Ephraem attributes 'Bethsaida' here to the Diatessaron, which is a primary focus of his commentary, and that the remarks on Marcion here regard other aspects. Quite so; but Couchcloud does read Ephriam as explicitly saying that in the copy of the Ev which he had, it was Bethsaida...

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...

Wow, thanks for that ref. The "crossover" nature of the blessings and woes in the Ev is something I never noticed.

The Beatitudes are pure marcionite theology: Sure, but what part of Mark *isn't* pure marcionite theology? The part where Jesus has the same problems with the same people (Peter, James, John) that Paul had? Or perhaps better put, what part of Mark is any more or less pro or con Marcionite teaching ...
