The Q Gospel

I was going to mention “Q” but I had abused up my word quota.

Cassels (boy, this book is falling apart!): “Matthew seems to have had available a collection of Jesus’ teachings and sayings — perhaps from the famous ‘Q ‘ document which scholars have long postulated but so far have not been able to find. Luke had ‘Q’ — or whatever it was….”

Wikipedia: “Q was conceived as the most likely explanation behind the common material (mostly sayings) found in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke but not in Mark.” Also: “Some of the more notable portions of the New Testament are believed to have originated in Q…” including the beatitudes. Huh. I can still learn sumpin’!
