Five lectures (1158, 1472, 1800, 1858, 4003), and it reverses M1075 by moving one punctuation mark. It reached Neville as somebody else's revelation and he says so, twice, and thanks her by name. Peggy dreamed she was on a movie lot; a man in the centre took on the appearance of John Wayne, greeted her by name, and said something she could not hear. She asked him to repeat it, he did but more softly, and she was too embarrassed to ask a third time - then on waking she remembered it: It is not Before Abraham was, I am; it is Before Abraham, was I am. Nothing came before him. Neville's defence of the reading is textual and correct: the original manuscripts had no punctuation marks at all, no verses, no paragraphs and no chapters until almost the sixteenth century, so the comma after was is a man-made choice and can be moved (4003 puts it bluntly - put the punctuation mark where it suits you best). And the consequence is what he wants: read the usual way, a man is claiming to have preceded Abraham and is thereby set apart from his hearers; read with the comma moved, there is no separation at all, only the statement that I AM is prior to everything, which is why he attaches Go unto my brothers, I am ascending unto my Father and your Father, unto my God and your God. He also reads the dream itself - John means Jehovah favoured; John Wayne is never cast in a secondary role and God is always the star and here sits in the director's chair; and he knew her by name, as he numbered all the stars and called them all by name. At 1158 it is short - tell her to change the comma. Distinct from M1075, which argues precedence from a son who calls him Father. PROVENANCE. Coined out of sequence at the request of the attach lane, which found the passages while attaching other motifs and reported that nothing in the catalogue held them. The canonical and the occurrences below were read in full before coining; the rest of the corpus-wide set was supplied by the lane and is attached, not read, so the occurrences here carry confidence 0.95 rather than 0.99.
