Thank you, Thirdwoe!

[[Edit: I was entirely too cryptic on one point and it goes back to a point made earlier, esp. by Konway87. Josephus is "Suspect" to some here. I use Josephus quite a lot. Eusebius is a trusted source to many. Eusebius is "Suspect" to me. I need to study Irenaeus, especially after a quote that came up on another site. And so on...
As to Thirdwoe's comments, I agree that the "...sweat dripping like blood..." was probably in the original:
Mark 12: 4 - 7 (RSV):
[4] Again he sent to them another servant, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.
[5] And he sent another, and him they killed; and so with many others, some they beat and some they killed.
[6] He had still one other, a beloved son; finally he sent him to them, saying, `They will respect my son.'
[7] But those tenants said to one another, `This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
"...they wounded him in the head..."
Again, Mark is being reflected in Type. The entire Story in Mark 12 is interesting for this. All of the Brutal Acts committed against the Faithful are focused and repeated on the "...beloved son".
This gives support to the Lukan passage.
Thanx]]
