This morning (30 November 2020) I presented the following paper, “Epaphtha: Powerful Speech and Transformative Touch in Synoptic Miracle Stories,” for the Mysticism, Esotericism, and Gnosticism in Antiquity section (MEGA) at the virtual meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature. I leave it here for comment, questions, and discussion for those unable to join the meeting this year. Thank you for reading.
