When I spend time with my friend Richard I talk like a philosopher.
When I am with my sister I speak with no small measure of giddiness and loquacity.
When I worked construction I spoke like a moron.
At the restaurant I talk like a typical youthful ignorant.
All of these modes of speech profoundly differ from the others, and yet each is appropriately and truthfully adapted to the occasion of the friends or co-workers I am with.
So why the heck are we making such a big stink about the way Jesus speaks in John and the way he speaks in the Synoptics?
