13:34-35, the Jerusalem Logion, aligns the rejection of the speaker
by Jerusalem both with the abandonment of Jerusalem's house and
with the future invisibility and return of the speaker: you will
not see me until you say, Blessed is the Coming One in the name of
the Lord' (13:35b). The coincidence of not seeing language with a
reference to a future coming is reminiscent of the connection, in
Jewish literature especially, between the assumption and
eschatological function. The book proposes that this reference to
Jesus' assumption is a clue to how Q conceives of the post-mortem
vindication of Jesus, since numerous Q sayings presuppose a
knowledge of Jesus' death. In support of this, the book argues that
in Hellenistic Jewish writings assumption was not always considered
to be an escape from death (as in the biblical instances of Enoch
and Elijah), but could happen at or after death, as was more
clearly the case in Greek thought. Such a strategy of vindication
is necessary for Q because it evidences a belief in Jesus' ongoing
existence and future return as the Son of Man, and because
resurrection though a feature of Q's eschatology is not
individually applied to Jesus. A similar view is presupposed by the
pre-Markan empty tomb tradition, which describes the disappearance
of Jesus' body but narrates neither the resurrection itself nor an
appearance of the risen Jesus. The book also draws out implications
of the thesis for the place of the Sayings Gospel Q within the
early Christian movements, particularly vis-vis the vindication of
Jesus.
