It is as with the so-called small apocalypses in the canonical Gospels who presume that a bdelugma had been standing there, but we know from Josephus, that after 70 the site of the temple was erased and deserted of everything, while after 132 AD as part of Aelia Capitolina statues of Zeus, the Emperor etc. have been erected. All that points to a date around or after the Bar Kokhba war, hence, the date, I suggest in my 'Marcion and the Dating of the Synoptic Gospels'.<br />Thanks for drawing our attention to this.Professor Markus Vinzenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18207418071078727708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008517438604159901.post-38587906532681543322014-10-31T08:34:46.780+00:002014-10-31T08:34:46.780+00:00What about Matthew 5:35?

It seems a clear reference to <i>Aelia Capitolina</i> (Publius <i>Aelius</i> Traianus Hadrianus being the complete name of Emperor Hadrian) and points to a composition date in the reign of Antoninus, since the city was established toward the end of Hadrian’s reign.<br /><br />Thanks, Giuseppe Ferrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00587305319405093702noreply@blogger.com
