Hi Mark,

Please do note that I said "*in my view,* Paul
contemplates the Galatians embracing the Jewish
calendar...." I appreciate that Martin does not make
this equation; I was only adding my own two cents
worth. I do respect your difference on this point, but
I would recommend to all a careful(re)reading of
Witherington's commentary on the passage.

Regards in return,

Don
