[ Just to help a little bit: ;) 1) if this passage is genuine, it would be the single instance in the corpus where Paul refers to an actual, historical event from the life of Jesus. I find it absolutely curious that Paul did not receive more of this historical material, if the risen Lord was appare...

I like the idea that 1 Cor 11:23-32 is an interpolation but I am not sure you have made a strong enough case for it. I am very much of the same judgment here, Michael. The passage (at least 11.23-26) seems suspicious to me, but I can never seem to put my finger on anything concrete that indicates i...

1 Corinthians 11.23-26 sounds dogmatically Proto-Orthodox. Was this text present in Marcion's 1 Corinthians? Probably see http://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1838&start=10#p40563 Andrew Criddle IIUC, the argument that 1 Co 11:23-25(26) was attested in the Apostolicon rests on...

JW : A look at the use of "twelve" in 14:20 and subsequent rection: And he said unto them, [It is] one of the twelve , he that dippeth with me in the dish. 21 For the Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were i...

So who was Jesus talking to, Adam? Who is "them " ? Who else was at the table with the Twelve? That would be Cestius. That would be ...ummm...The Legions: Josephus, Wars, 2, 18 - 19, various: "And this was the miserable calamity which at this time befell the Jews at Alexandria. Hereu...

Nevertheless, even though "apostles" occurs only once in either Matthew or Mark (and not at all in John, but seven occurrences in Luke), the word "Twelve" makes up for it by its ubiquity in the Synoptics--and even in John. And that includes this "twelve" at Mark 3:14 (...

Sorry bud.

And that's fine.

Guys, please take this some place else. I was really hoping for some intelligent debate on the OP subject. Thanks.

Do you think really that the origin of anti-Judaism (more late became Anti-Semitism) was only a mere literary motif invented by ''Matthew'' (more late misunderstood by a literalist reading) ? Or was it only a necessary literary pretext, when the real cause was still more ancient? It's a complicated...

The idea that ''the Jews'' killed Jesus, found in 1 Thess 2:14-16, is recognized by the consensus as a proto-catholic interpolation. For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God’s churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people the same things those churche...
