I see that the following passage in *Ev: 18 And when John the Baptist heard about all these things, he was scandalized. 19 And John calling unto him a certain two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that cometh? or look we for another? (*Ev 7:18-19) ...is based on Vita 25 of Jos...

he would be reluctant to remove material from his corrected Luke which was paralleled in Matthew and/or Mark. I can understand a Marcion interested to follow Mark (being Mark a gentilizing gospel, afterall, in virtue of the principle similis cum similibus ), but I can't understand how Marcion could...

Ken, one of the reasons Secret Mark can persuade about its authenticity is that it gives a detailed explanation about what Jesus went to do in Jericho (an explanation that is absent in Mark). Secret Mark clearly solves a problem in canonical Mark which troubles modern readers more than it apparentl...

1 Timothy 3-4, even if a Catholic epistle, is still reluctant to accept the genealogies found in the incipit of Matthew and Canonical Luke. 3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer 4 or to devote...

This is a thought on the "Gospel priority":

Trobisch is an example.

Of course Luke derived from *Ev the idea of a spiritual entity descending on the earth in 3:2:


The "word of God" is the Logos.

Ken, one of the reasons Secret Mark can persuade about its authenticity is that it gives a detailed explanation about what Jesus went to do in Jericho (an explanation that is absent in Mark).

I think that " doubtless " in the Jesus's answer is a strong clue pointing to an explanation found inside the story itself of the gospel of Luke, not assumed a priori external to that gospel (i.e. possibly in Mark). " Doubtless " in Jesus's answer explains also why *Ev were to c...

"Doubtless" in Jesus's answer explains also why *Ev were to choose one city to begin with, even before that the name of the city ("Capernaum") was mentioned.
