Stephen and Dr. Carlton, thank you for your thoughtful responses!

Dr. Carlton, you wrote...

This short paragraph is among several sayings
pericope that have been removed from their context and cannot now be
related very well to what is around them. This is also the case of the
opening statement, EN EKEINWi TWi KAIRWi APOKRIQEIS hO IHSOUS EIPEN:
EXOMOLOGOUMAI SOI, PATER, . . . As the beginning of this paragraph this
seems very strange. Did God ask him a question?

BAGD (p93) says that APOKRIQEIS   in this verse is  a Hebraic
continuation of discourse i.e... "continuing, Jesus said".

Being young in my Greek studies, I'm not familiar with APOKRIQEIS being
used this way often.  Is it in your experience?  Is this a viable
alternative?

I realize that if your verdict is in that this is a wisdom saying, or
remembered saying of Jesus, drawn from a theorized document such a Q,
such a connection would appear fictitious.  Yet, I am open to the
possibility that our author is telling it like it was, and am therefore
interested in this connection of pericopes.

Thanks,
Brian
