I’m thankful for the descriptions of the terrain ...walking from the valley uphill to Jerusalem Disciples and others following Jesus towards Calvary . Our Journey is more than 18 miles...it’s a daily decision to follow...meeting diverse opportunities along the way.. God Bless and thank you 🙏🏾 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thankyou so much for the wonderful and informative lessons! It is of immense value in helping me (and I am sure many others), to understand and love the word of God. May your mission of teaching continue to flourish throughout the entire world (I am from Australia) and be blessed by our Lord and Saviour.
Excellent, Prof. Curtis! That was such a great reflection! Thank you so much! I've learned a lot! God bless you and your family too! BTW, I'm from Brazil, your preaching is reaching to the ends of the world!

Richard Bauckham 'Jesus and the Eyewitnesses' (3) Patronymic substituted. A patronymic could also simply take the place of the personal name. This was a common phenomenon. 176 For example, among the Masada ostraca we find Bar Simon, Bar Hilqai, Bar Yeshua{, Bar Qesa}, Bar Hanun, Bar Harsha}, Bar Benaiah, Bar Haggai, Bar Halafta}, Bar Jason, Bar Pinhi, Bar Levi, and others. 177 It is notable that in many such cases, though by no means all, the name is relatively or very unusual. In such cases, especially if the person’s proper name were common (and especially if he had no brothers known in the context), the patronymic could be more useful than the proper name for distinguishing an individual. In the Gospels we find this phenomenon in the cases of Barabbas (= son of Abba) and Bartimaeus (= son of Timaeus). Mark calls the latter “Bartimaeus son of Timaeus” (Mark 10:46), thus explaining “Bartimaeus” for his Greek readers. He could never have been called “Bartimaeus son of Timaeus” (= Bar Timaeus bar Timaeus!). Timaeus is a Greek name occurring only in this case as a Palestinian Jewish name. 178 This is no reason to question its authenticity or to treat Bartimaeus as a nickname rather than a real patronymic, since there are many other cases of Greek names occurring only once as the name of a Palestinian Jew. In this case, it is precisely the rarity of the name that makes the patronymic entirely sufficient for naming Timaeus’s son. Barabbas and Bartimaeus are examples of what Ilan calls a “unique phenomenon in N[ew] T[estament] transliteration,” in which the Aramaic bar (son of) forms an integral part of the name. 179 Other examples are Bartholomew, Bar-jesus, Bar-jonah, Barnabas, and Barsabbas. It looks as though this form is used when the patronymic (whether a true patronymic or a nickname, as in the cases of Barnabas and Barsabbas) functions as a personal name and could stand alone to designate the person without his personal name. In other cases, the Aramaic bar is translated. This is a striking instance of the closeness of the names in the Gospels and Acts to Palestinian Jewish usage.
Thank you for opening our eyes to what Jesus is calling us to do . We are in need of constant reminders.
