Justin Martyr mentioned over 50 verses from the memoirs of the apostles yet did not name the authors. He mentioned only two or three verses from Revelations but did mention John as the author given he impression that he did not know the name of the authors of the 50 verses. Justin did not mention any letters from Paul, and his writings show no PAULINE influence. It would appear that there were no named gospel during the time of Justin. |

There are pasages in the memoir of the apostles that are found ONLY in gMark, ONLY in gLuke and ONLY in gJohn. So parts of the memoirs of the apostles are in all the gospels, not only gMatthew. Also, based on the Diatessaron by Tatian, it would appear that there were four unnamed Jesus stories up to or near the end of the 2nd century, since it is claimed Tatian was a disciple of Justin Martyr. |

The CHURCH have lost track of Paul. There is nothing to exclude the letters of Paul from the 2nd, 3rd or 4th century. The Church lost Paul. |

(I'm also sure you've noticed the extended sections in the latter part of Trypho that do sound like Romans 9-11 et al, and agree with me that these do not prove Justin knew Romans.) Neil |

In comparison, the cursing of the fig tree is a relatively minor item. Regards, Yuri. |

After the first feeding of the multitudes, a second does not seem all that major. The gospel of Luke is pretty long as it is. Eliminating such an obvious duplication to save room for gems like the good Samaritan is not that hard a call to make. Ben. |
