LXX borrowing explains most minor details in the gospels
MARK 6:5-6= "And he could there do no mighty work ... And he marveled because of their unbelief." Mark’s bizarre reuse of a fragment from the Sodom story in Genesis 19 is very surprising= -Genesis 19:21= God (or an angel speaking for him) tells Lot that he “admired” [εθαυμασα] (or: “was am...

is LXX Genesis being parodied by Mark's gospel?
— in one his most bizarre borrowings, the author of the gospel of Mark both recalls and simultaneously rewrites the Sodom story, echoing LXX Genesis 19!= (in bold is the text from Mark 8:22-26, with commentary) [22] And he arrived at Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him t...

is Mark a midrash?= the raising of Jairus' girl
MARK 5:38-41= He arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, and viewed the tumult, and them that wept and wailed loudly. When he got there, he asked, “Why make ye much ado and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleeps.” And they laughed at him as (if he were) ridiculous. But after he’d thrown them...

Re: a new 'Mythicist' commentary on Mark
I was my intention to go over all the things I felt Michael Turton didn't touch on.
And to make a free resource concerning the LXX use by the evangelists.

Re: a new 'Mythicist' commentary on Mark
thanks everyone, I will post some rewritten excerpts on the forum here. I do need to figure out how to do something about the full chapters being out of order on my blog, but I think everyone will be surprised by my findings. I am going to ignore/be agnostic about the provenance of the gospel, I don...

a new 'Mythicist' commentary on Mark
Hi everybody! I'd like to be so bold as invite others to take a look at my work-in-progress commentary on the gospel of Mark from what could be termed a mythicist point of view. I intend only to show clearly by this work that Mark is a 'fan-fiction' taking poetry and ideas from the Jewish scriptures...
