Note to self

... is surely accretive of or parallel to the Q(uelle) source of the quotations in the NT.

Many commonalities with 4 gospels and Hebrews.

But text consistently leaves listener to draw conclusions which are written in by gospel writers. Surely indicates pre-gospel authorship.

Also no quotes associated with resurrection theology, which itself appears to have been late accretion to Mark.

Some quotes in T also seem to have been recorded by another set of ears than Q, or by subsequent accretion.

Suggests to me that 12 disciples are themselves self-appointed branch of early Christian community.
