It's an interesting linguistic feature of the longer ending that you've discovered here. In a hurry, I found that the Testimonium Flavianum and the Acts of Thomas used φαίνω for a posthumous appearing.gryan wrote: ↑Sat Sep 24, 2022 6:59 am Before this week, I had not studied the details of the longer ending. As far as I can tell from the past discussion (in your link), and from a little googling, past studies of the LE have not focused on the language of "manifestation", i.e. φαίνω (phainó) word group.
