The Gospel of John doesn't mention Jesus' birth from a virgin, doesn't show Jesus baptism by John the Baptist, and does absolutely nothing to keep his identity a secret, not even don a pair of glasses.

Welcome to misquoting Jesus with Bart Ehrman.

this, we've just, you and I both have finished a very long weekend for the new insights into the New Testament conference.

That was absolutely, I thought it was spectacular.

The speakers we had, man, it could not have been any better, I thought.

But for you and me, it's kind of exhausting.

And so we're both hoping we're not completely brain dead.
