When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak. 28 For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.” Right but clearly the 'garment' is supernatural. Right? You're missing the part about 'power' being contained in the 'garment.'...

Acts 15: 22 and on (RSV): [22] Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsab'bas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.. Acts maps into the stories of Mucian...

That's alright, SG. I ask only that you consider the material. You'll note that I mention Mark and the year 110. Why? The Gospels tell a somewhat different History than Acts. Why? Tell us your History here, plz. 'N who was Verginius Rufus and what does he have to do with the Empty Tomb Stories? Best...

I might reconstruct it tomorrow if you are interested but I'm not doin' so good on the Board today. Something from a few years back on another Board crossed my mind ...

That's OK, Gryan. Thank you for looking. BTW, I'm looking at Teeple (Lit. Or. of John) which examines the OP. He finds little to no Matthew/John parallels in the Critical Literature. This places some tension between Mark and Matthew and places a posited "John-Mark" Unified Document further...

1. Matthew 16: 17 - 19 (RSV): [17] And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. [18] And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail a...
