New Testament 86-88
Matthew 8:14-17 Mark 1:29-34 Luke 4:38-41; 7:11-17 Only Luke recounts the story of Jesus raising the son of the widow of Nain from death. But all three of the synoptic gospels mention the healing of Peter’s mother-in-law (πενθερά). It’s striking that the first pope, as he’s often regarded, had a [Read More...]

Turner of Princeton University suggests that it will occur in solar systems with a relatively high number of planets following roughly circular orbits. The necessity of circular or nearly-circular orbits [Read More...]
New Testament 85
Matthew 8:5-13 Luke 7:1-10 John 4:46-54 Compare Mark 2:1; 7:30 The harmony that I’m using as the basis of this exercise — Kurt Aland, ed., Synopsis of the Four Gospels: Greek-Gnglish Edition of the Synopsis Quattuor Evangeliorum (14th ed.) — plainly believes that the incident recounted in John 4 is the same [Read More...]
