Awkward phrasings and verbosity mar this otherwise thorough and insightful walk through the Synoptic gospels. Patton provides evidence that the authors of Matthew and Luke each had a copy of Mark and that each added additional material from differing editions of Q (the so-called Sayings Source). Google's Gemini AI was able to simplify passages I provided, and this exercise was quite helpful.
