Mark 16:9–20 III — Lectionaries, Eusebian Sections, and Ecclesiastical Reception

Mark 16:9–20 IV — The So-Called Shorter Ending: Rival Conclusion or Secondary Summary?

Luke 3:33 — Admin, Aram, and Amminadab: The Genealogical Sequence under Review

Mark 5:1 — Gadarenes, Gerasenes, or Gergesenes? Locating the Demoniac’s Country
Three regional names compete at the opening of the demoniac account. The received “Gadarenes” can identify a district associated with Gadara rather than claim that the city stood on the waterline.

Mark 6:22 — Herodias’s Daughter or Herod’s Daughter Herodias?

Mark 7:19 — “Purging All Meats”: Grammar, Punctuation, and a Modern Interpretive Claim
