  1. Very interesting, although I am admittedly listening to it a month late.

    It becomes very different of course if one posits that John knows and presupposes only the Markan gospel narrative. In that case, John 7,40-44 is the next step towards what Matthew and Luke then suggest: the Galilean was born in Judea.

    Looking forward to the Lunar New Year episode! :)

  2. An interesting new article, which admittedly doesn't explicitly take a side on the debate but does cleverly draw on John 19:19:
