this is an example of jumping to conclusions and illustrates how ideas may
echo within NT secondary literature without full evidence.
why don't people comment on the fact that the NON-exclusive 'rabbinic'
idiom "Hovin"/"Hayyav" "debts/sinner" is already in Hebrew ben sira from
2BCE? that is, this idiom was already part of colloquial hebrew.
consider the above a cryptic addition to lk 13, too.
