Re: Mark's Twelve Did Not Refer to the Disciples

Most scholars view the 12 as mythological. The inner circle however does carry historicity and makes more sense in context. As is his wont, outhouse cites no authority while presuming to be the authority. If this were true, I would expect that at least Solo would provide some references, names at l...

Re: Best Bible Version for Scholars for Synoptic Problem?

Bad news. Berean Literal Bible is failing the tests. I had already noted that the word order does not match the interlinear. Yes, you can't get pleasant English and have that. But you can have, or at least try to have, passable English and avoid using just one English word to translate several Greek...

Re: Best Bible Version for Scholars for Synoptic Problem?

Matthew 3:11 Berean Study Bible (fewer words, some even different, and the tense varies as well): I baptize you with water for repentance, but after me will come One more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Berean Literal B...

Re: Best Bible Version for Scholars for Synoptic Problem?

I'm so observant! There on Biblehub Parallel Versions was not just Berean Study Bible (the $7.99) but also the Berean Literal. The samples and some explorations showed that the shorter Berean Study Bible includes the same specifically literal words, just not as many. That is, the Berean Literal Bibl...

Re: Best Bible Version for Scholars for Synoptic Problem?

182 views on this thread so far by perhaps 50 scholars/inquirers, but no one here is familiar with the American Bible Society's Biblehub, perhaps the standard place to look up parallel translations of a verse? Granted it's hot and new, in progress (New Testament on line but OT not before 2017), but ...

Re: Best Bible Version for Scholars for Synoptic Problem?

You've got me worried now, DC, That identical English translations will falsely represent varying Greek word-order in the sentence. To what extent does my preferred ESV nevertheless preserve the original word order? I had just been about to post a triumphant discovery. Might as well anyway. Granted ...

Re: Best Bible Version for Scholars for Synoptic Problem?

We seem to have hit a wall, there apparently are no other choices. Aside from displaying research directly in Greek, how about asking for opinions on what has turned up so far. As for "standard" translations, are there any others besides English Standard Version I should consider, versions...

Re: Best Bible Version for Scholars for Synoptic Problem?

Thanks, Andrew, But nowhere else have I heard the 1881 (English) RV compared to the literal exemplars of the Young's and the Concordant. Meanwhile what I want and need may be in progress: Note: This translation is a work in progress in which things need to be continually updated and corrected accord...

Re: Best Bible Version for Scholars for Synoptic Problem?

PS [Edit Update]: https://archive.org/details/newtestamentnewt01moff OK, Charles Wilson, Does YMMV stand for "you may mock my views"? Your above freely downloadable Moffatt translation is dated 1913, an earlier version of the 1935 text Teeple apparently knew (and may have strongly influenc...
