I can think of another one to deal with Simon of Cyrene. If Jesus created the universe, then he created Simon, so any heavy-lifting apparently performed by the Cyrenian can be quite properly, ultimately attributed to Jesus. John's gospel emphasises Jesus's divinity. Downplaying the parts played by mere mortals would be thematically coherent.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!<br />JasonJason mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04117753894806913150noreply@blogger.com
