I had lunch with Mark Goodacre yesterday and we talked about John and the synoptics, which is what he is currently working on. I’m been waiting for this book for more than 4 years now. It was planned to be released in 2021 :D I liked his article : John's Use of Matthean/Lukan Redaction of Mark – Ma...

ok, this is the alternative explanation: * Thomas or something like it (I'm generous) is original * Ev which precedes Luke wishes to incorporate the pre-existing parables (which must precede the writing of Ev in any case) * Ev lacked the interpretation of the parable originally, the interpretation ...
