ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Join Christopher Enoch in this in-depth comparative study of Matthew 12 vs Mark 2 and Matthew 15 vs Mark 7. We examine synoptic differences, Markan priority, the historical error concerning Abiathar the high priest, the Hebrew meaning of 'Son of Man,' ancient Jewish rulings on the Sabbath from the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Mishnah, and what Mark 7:19 actually says in the Greek manuscripts about ritual food purity.
