Mark 7: The Syrophoenician Woman-Tentative
Mark 7: 24 – 30 (RSV): [24] And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and would not have any one know it; yet he could not be hid. [25] But immediately a woman, whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and f...

Re: Messianic secret explained
ghost- Would you explain your mappings a little more? How Complete is your system? Is Acts your major Anchor to understanding the Caesars in the NT? Example: 1 Corinthians 1: 14 - 16 (RSV): [14] I am thankful that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Ga'ius; [15] lest any one should say that yo...

Re: Kartagraphy Markoff. Did "Mark" Get Any Geography Right?
That´s an experiment: How would an ancient reader of Mark´s gospel imagine the world of Jesus - (who know absolutely nothing about the real geography, but read very carefully)? http://www.michaelturton.com/Mark/GMark09.html#9X One other consideration might be that Mark was originally a play to a so...

Re: Kartagraphy Markoff. Did "Mark" Get Any Geography Right?
"Dalmanutha" can stand for Dalmatia in one section but for Alexandria in another section. Mark 8: 10 - 11 (Alexander Aramaic): 10. And at once he climbed aboard the vessel with his disciples and came to the land of oppression*. 11. And the Pharisees came out and began making demands to hi...

Re: Messianic secret explained
Ghost- What then is your analysis of Peter? Who was he and when did he live? When did he die? I am very intrigued with what you posit. Peter, however, is the lynchpin of the Stories that became the NT. I can place him at Passover in Jerusalem in 4 BCE and 9 CE. In 4 BCE, he is a child ("He who ...

Re: Nicodemus in John 3
VERY interesting insight. Julius Caesar has a place in the NT. The Tenth Legion was his "Favorite" and it was in attendance at the Fall of Jerusalem along with the star-struck Twelfth Legion - See Acts. I can place "The Release of Bar-Abbas" with the Eastern Crowd and a particula...

Well, sure, the KING'S tunnel. Of course. Steve43- Let me offer a few words in a peaceful demeanor. In re-reading one of my earlier Posts it may have come across as "If you don't read and understand Heisenberg in German and Feynman in Caltech, you can't understand any of this". Not what I...

Antiquities..., 15, 11, 7: "There was also an occult passage built for the king; it led from Antonia to the inner temple, at its eastern gate; over which he also erected for himself a tower, that he might have the opportunity of a subterraneous ascent to the temple, in order to guard against an...

Re: Kartagraphy Markoff. Did "Mark" Get Any Geography Right?
Wrong. The Passover "slaughter" was in 3 B.C. after Herod had died and Archelaus assumed control. But so much is wrong about your post. So: TELL ME!! Prove that I'm wrong. Do it. Edit: I need to add to what I just wrote lest it appear that I'm screaming at the monitor and the nurses are g...

Re: Kartagraphy Markoff. Did "Mark" Get Any Geography Right?
"The Sea" then becomes symbolic of all of those people who came from surrounding areas and countries who are surrounding the Temple for Passover. CW Hi Charles, I also think that the sea and the temple are connected on a symbolic level, but I haven't figured out in which sense. Your expla...
