Sounds like "well planned out" ...Love it. Sounds like "well planned out" is more likely than "read that morning" unless you mean he had the psalm in mind that morning *because* of his earlier planning.<br /><br />These are the kinds of hypotheses I think help flesh the man out. He made plans. He read psalms. It's not that we conclude this or that parallel thought was or wasn't in his mind that day or a week/year/decade before. If anyone wants to be contentious about such speculation it should go without saying that "of course we don't know". BUT! The value here is the plausibility; first, that this *could* have been exactly what he did, but even more, this shows us (to borrow Dale Allison's phrase) the "kinds of things" that Jesus likely did. And that helps us improve our general picture of Jesus' actual life, without presuming to fictionalize, and without retreating to "fashionable ignorance".<br /><br />Wonderful, Ken! Thanks ever so much.<br /><br />More, please? :-)Bill Heromanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283809456471966882noreply@blogger.com
