    Mark’s Paraphrase of an OT Quotation in the Parable of the Sower (Mark 4:12)

    July 3, 2025 - By admin

    In previous articles, I have illustrated Mark’s tendency towards omitting Matthew’s Old Testament quotations, when covering the same episode as Matthew, while at the same time inserting a few words which allude to the underlying OT passage itself. I am presently aware of six instances of this behavior. Correspondingly, I…

    Allusions in Mark to Matthew’s OT Citations: He Lifted Her Up (Mark 1:31)

    May 5, 2025 - By admin

    On the premise of Matthean priority and that Mark leveraged Matthew, can we understand Mark to be alluding to some of Matthew’s OT citations? He Lifted Her Up. Am going to start by confessing that this potential allusion is subtle, so I will not be offended if some of you…

    Allusions in Mark to Matthew’s OT Citations: The Time is Fulfilled (Mark 1:15)

    April 30, 2025 - By admin

    On the premise of Matthean priority and that Mark leveraged Matthew, can we understand Mark to be alluding to some of Matthew’s OT citations? The Time is Fulfilled. Matthew 4:12–17 reports that after hearing that John had been arrested, Jesus withdrew into Galilee, so that what was spoken by the…

    Mark’s resequenced episodes, assuming Matthean priority

    March 8, 2025 - By admin

    Which of Mark’s episodes were resequenced, on the assumption that Mark had Matthew’s Gospel available to him? For this exercise, I am excluding some of the teaching events, such as the parables, as Jesus may well have taught things at multiple times. Plus, the narrative summary statements are also excluded.…

    New Insights into Acts 20: The Word of His Grace

    November 1, 2024 - By admin

    In this “new insights into Acts” series, we are re-examining the text of Acts under the premise that Matthew was published coincident with the events of Acts 10–11, and that Mark was published shortly thereafter. Further, that these Gospels were immediately accepted as authoritative Scripture, as having been published by…

    New Insights into Acts 16 and 17: Reasoning with God-fearers, Jews, and pagan philosophers

    August 19, 2024 - By admin

    I have argued that during his first missionary journey, Paul grounded his ministry in the use of a published Gospel—whether he was preaching and teaching or strengthening and encouraging the churches. Now, in this blog post, we consider three encounters between Paul and those in Macedonia and Achaia during his…

    New Insights into Acts 14 and 15: Encouragement

    August 2, 2024 - By admin

    New Insights into Acts 12 and 13: John Mark

    June 28, 2024 - By admin

    Elsewhere, I have argued that Matthew was published for the benefit of the Jews, coincident with the events of Acts 10–11, as Peter and Paul began preaching in Rome, the empire. And further, that Mark was published shortly thereafter, leveraging both Matthew’s Gospel and the sermons of Peter, at the…
