    • 1932, Hjalmar Söderberg, Den förvandlade messias [The Transformed Messiah]: Jesus Barabbas II‎[1], Albert Bonniers förlag, accessed at Litteraturbanken.se, courtesy of Göteborgs universitetsbibliotek, archived from the original on 25 September 2025, page 32:
      Markusevangeliets författare tycks icke ha varit tillräckligt skriftlärd för att veta att messias […] skulle födas i Betlehem, och Jesus egenskap av galilé har därför icke berett honom några bekymmer.
      The author of the Gospel of Mark does not seem to have been sufficiently versed in the Scriptures to know that the Messiah was to be born in Bethlehem, so the fact that Jesus was a Galilean did not concern him.
