Though I am ignorant of the relevant botany, an interesting post.

Thanks for that link. Here's the title of the article ---lsayre wrote: ↑Wed Aug 17, 2022 8:50 am It brings new meaning to "the bread of life".

The footnote there points to another fine example of bright shining wit and perception:The use of the word for weed (ⲍⲓⲍⲁⲛⲓ[ⲟ]ⲛ) probably reflects the influence of Matthew.10
Apparently, biblical scholars do research but when they find something they can't compute, they merely state their findings at best. Well, while disclosing nothing Meier still says a thousand times more here than Miss April [Deconick] and [Stevan?] Davies, and it is astonishing what he states here, of course: the word ⲍⲓⲍⲁⲛⲓⲟⲛ didn't exist at all! So there are two chances here: either their Jesus made it up, or Thomas made it up - but let's not address any of that, by all means, why should we? [Martijn Linssen, The Parable of the Seed and the Weed (2021) 15-16].‘This Greek noun (probably of Semitic origin) does not occur in the LXX, in other Greek versions of the OT, in secular Greek before the Christian era, or in the Apostolic Fathers. In the NT, it occurs only in this parable of Matthew and its interpretation.’
"Thomas" got logion 79 from Luke's gospel.Will you tell me where Matthew got it from when I tell you where Thomas got it from?
I just have to ask, given the fact that I have given you all of this material, in all its forms, and you have done nothing but circumvent it in every possible way. Which truly surprises me
So please Ken, when I provide my elaborate, kind, academic, well argued and certainly non polemic exposition of why and how Thomas invented Zizanion - will you give me your best?
A possibility for the origin of the Greek ‘zizanion’ (Matt 13:24-30, Thomas 57), going back even further in time ---
You appear to have misunderstood me Ken, given the fact that you took this quote from another thread and used it to start this one - and I would very much like you to set things straight because you give a completely wrong impression of the facts: not only of what I have stated but most importantly of what Mark and Simon have statedKen Olson wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 11:12 ammlinssen wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 1:32 amKen Olson wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:00 pmmlinssen wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 2:37 pm When will Christians demand honesty, sincerity and truth from their scholars and academics?
What will it take for the likes of you, Gathercole and Goodacre to stand up and shout?
"Thank you for sharing your research Martijn"
Sorry Ken, I have nothing but praise and respect for you, and you deserve nothing but from my point of view. But what does it take to turn all this around - what does it take to simply do the right thing?
I do appear to have misunderstood what you intended to convey with the highlighted line. If I am understanding you correctly now, the highlighted line you placed in quotation marks following your question 'What will it take for the likes of you, Gathercole and Goodacre to stand up and shout?' was not, in fact, what you wanted Gathercole, Goodacre, and me, to stand up and shout, but rather the sole response you had actually received from both Mark Goodacre and Simon Gathercole. I admit I did not understand that to be what you were saying. I do not think you communicated your meaning very well.mlinssen wrote: ↑Thu Aug 18, 2022 8:43 pmYou appear to have misunderstood me Ken, given the fact that you took this quote from another thread and used it to start this one - and I would very much like you to set things straight because you give a completely wrong impression of the facts: not only of what I have stated but most importantly of what Mark and Simon have statedKen Olson wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 11:00 pmmlinssen wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 2:37 pm When will Christians demand honesty, sincerity and truth from their scholars and academics?

"Thank you for sharing your research Martijn" is the actual sole response from both Mark Goodacre as well as Simon Gathercole to me when I sent them my paper on the abundantly overwhelming presence of ⲭⲣⲏⲥⲧⲟⲥ and related forms with an ETA (ⲏ) in the Nag Hammadi Library
So please, do follow up on this, as you wholly misrepresent what Mark Goodacre did, what Simon Gathercole did, and what I said they did - thank you
