I hope that list-members will indeed be able to assist Herr Kraus with
texts of the commentaries he is seeking -- but may I urge those who
do provide them to send this material to him OFF-LIST, please? While
discussions on list of the Greek text of John 7:15b are welcome, this
is not the forum for discussion of issues beyond understanding what
the Greek text itself is saying -- and what the Greek text itself says
doesn't really seem to be in dispute. Questions about what Jesus
has learned and why he is literate lie outside the scope of BG
discussion.
