Mitch,
   
  Ellipsis is a big part of Halliday and Hasan's, Cohesion in English.  That is what stimulated my thoughts years ago concerning the missing verb in Romans 3:22.

And many hearing [him] were amazed saying, "From where
[did] this one [learn] these things?

Have there been any studies done regarding which kind
of words/phrases were often omitted/understood/to be
supplied in the first century? Sometimes the
word/phrase to be supplied is more substantial than
other times. Here, we must supply [learn] without
which the sentence makes no sense.

Finally, should I look for words to be supplied even
when the given statement is a complete thought? Maybe
there is more than what's on the surface?
