page 131 note 3 For English readers the common version's ‘trace the course’ has contributed to the misunderstanding now that ‘trace’ in English has acquired the connotation of enquiry or discovery and not merely of simple following. Vincent Taylor appears to apply the participle to the previous drafting of Proto-Luke (The Formation of the Gospel Tradition, 1933, p. 200).Google Scholar
