The Jesus Itinerary
RE: The Jesus Itinerary
Quote:...Jesus goes immediately into the wilderness for 40 days in all three synoptics, though this contradicts John who has Jesus spend the next three days gathering disciples and attending a wedding.

There is no unbroken day-by-day chronology of events in the Johannine Gospel which would prevent Jesus from having been out in the wilderness prior to John 1:29.

Isnt it true that John the Baptists past tense words at 1:32 are a recounting of something that had already happened? John is testifying about Jesus after John has already seen the Holy Spirit come down.

The text of John's testimony of a past event is plain enough to most Christians. But even if you find it ambiguous enough to re-interpret another way, you cannot shoe-horn in your abstract interpretation when it directly conflicts with the equally plain account in Mark which has Jesus in the wilderness for 40 days SOON after the baptism in the Jordan.

Answer this. Do you think the writer/presbyter of John was unaware of Matthew, Mark and Luke's accounts of the baptism?
