Great one, and I don't think it's limited interest at all. The second one especially. Is your interest here partly that the trial scene as the Bible stages it has been such a rich source for antisemitism? I'll have something written next week either way, thanks for sending these over.
Hmmmm, James Miller wrote an article about the naked guy wrapped in linen and running from the Garden the night they came for Jesus. I will have to try and locate that article to refresh my memory on how James Miller approached it.
I just remember my reply back to one of the comments was that the guy was probably just another streaker out for attention, they always show up at major events. Your article, Tanner, offers a fabulous new twist …. ‘Love in the midst of Divinity in the making,’ so to speak.
Anyway, the whole Church history of it reads like a soap opera, and on and on it goes, still unresolved. I guess religion doesn’t have to be all that boring after all.
Something about this mysterious ‘Being’ adds to the spiritual significance of it all. So angelic, so ethereal, so mystical. Maybe docetic interpretation is really in touch with some deeper truth.
The longer Secret Mark passage fits poorly between 10:34 & 35, where Smith placed it. Olivet material already interrupts the continuity of 10:32 directly to 35.
I had never run into this before, thanks.
BTW I sent a message via the app, but don't know if it went through.
Yes I did, and replied to you the same day.

The docetic interpretation would be, this is the Christ spirit abandoning the corporeal Jesus.
Well that is a most fascinating and intriguing interpretation!
Thanks for the insight!
Some have also equated him with the young man in the tomb in Mark 16:5.

Whether Smith’s find is a forgery or not, something’s missing from Mark 10:46.
Tanner,
Wow! A mystery novelette of the first order. I was transported.
