‘I do not know you!’: Reconsidering the Redaction of Q 13:25-27
In The Formation of Q, John S. Kloppenborg identifies three redactional layers in the Sayings Gospel Q: the ‘formative stratum’ (or Q¹), the ‘main redaction’ (or Q²), and the ‘final recension’ (or Q³).

| Summary: | In The Formation of Q, John S. Kloppenborg identifies three redactional layers in the Sayings Gospel Q: the ‘formative stratum’ (or Q¹), the ‘main redaction’ (or Q²), and the ‘final recension’ (or Q³). He ascribes Q 13:25-7 in its entirety to the main redaction. As an alternative, I argue that verse 25 belongs to the formative stratum, while verses 26-7 belong to the main redaction. To substantiate the preceding case, verse 25 is measured against Kloppenborg’s own criteria for distinguishing between the formative stratum and the main redaction, namely those of ‘characteristic forms’, ‘characteristic motifs’, and ‘implied audience’. |
