Question
A book titled Jesus and [these people] by Richard Bauckham draws attention to the scholarly view that the genre of the gospels is Greco-Roman biography. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name these people whom Luke refers to in his prologue alongside “ministers of the word.” Etymologically, the word martyr derives from a Greek word referring to these people.
ANSWER: witnesses [or eyewitnesses or autoptai or αὐτόπται; accept Jesus and the Eyewitnesses]
[10e] Bauckham supports the traditional view that the Gospel of Mark derives from the eyewitness testimony of this apostle except for the Crucifixion, where this apostle was absent after having denied Jesus three times.
ANSWER: Peter [or Cephas or Simon Peter; prompt on Simon]
[10h] Bauckham argues that this passage was transmitted as the testimony of the eyewitness Cleopas, since Cleopas is named in it but not his companion. At the end of this passage, Cleopas and his companion ask each other, “Did our hearts not burn within us while he talked to us?”
ANSWER: the walk to Emmaus [accept anything regarding a journey or road to Emmaus or else a supper or meal shared at Emmaus]
