Galilejskie pochodzenie synoptycznego źródła Q

Abstract

Galilean towns, like Capernaum, Bethsaida and Chorazin, mentioned in Q suggest a Galilean origin of the document. Other places mentioned there, both the ones that actually existed then (Tyre, Sidon, Jerusalem), and ones existing only in the imagination of people of those times who knew the Old Testament (Sodom, Nineveh) are mention from the perspective of one who is situated centrally with respect to them. This speaks for Galilee as the place where the writers of Q were staying. Numerous images and metaphors from agricultural, rural life, but also from urban life, confirm this opinion. A positive image of the nature suggests urbanisation of Galilee in not a distant time. According to the author of the article the document could be written on the area between Tiberias and Nazareth.
