Possible First Performance Site: Caesarea, which has an Amphitheater as well as a politically savvy clientele.

The astonishment of the audience is expressed by the word ἐξεπλήσσοντο which in fact is a strong word expressing actual shock. In my translation this would lead to a more critical outlook where the audience is in fact questioning his right to teach here because he does not have permission like the ...

Thank you very much for this, Martin. I made the "Mistake of the Rewrite" (as seen in Luke, just below). The Woman with the 12 Year Issue of Blood touches Jesus' clothes. I wrote in haste.

Don't forget The Church of the East...

Didache, Ignatius, Polycarp, Shepherd of Hermas, gThomas...Are you supposing that there might not have been any Christian texts published, bought, and sold in the 2nd century? *** I'm not sure what you're suggesting and/or asking. Could you put it more directly? Of course. I do not doubt that there...
