<< 1. In Matt 11:25, what might you suggest is the referent for TAUTA,
which the Father hid....? >>
For those who accept the Two-Source hypothesis, Mt 11:25-27 derives from Q
10:21-22 (at the very least Mt 11:25 is parallel to Lk 10:21).
TAUTA (like PANTA at Mt 11:27 // Lk 10:22) is simply ambiguous, there is no
clear referent for TAUTA. Such ambiguity allows for all sorts of fanciful
interpretations by commentators.
<< 2. In 11:29 what do you take to be the referent of / or meaning of (in
terms of sense) ZUGON? >>
(There is no Synoptic parallel for Mt 11:28-30. According to the Two-Source
hypothesis, such a passage would be classed as 'M.')
ZUGON is simply a metaphor (literally meaning 'yoke') with unclear
metaphoric meaning. Again, the ambiguity allows for all sorts of fanciful
interpretations by commentators.
You have raised two significant questions!
