:::::Appeal to grammatical perfection is a factor to consider, but Mark was not a grammarian. Other factors, which you insist on ignoring, are more important than working backwards from grammar. Mark's vocabulary and use of Greek grammar were limited, more so than any other Gospel. Mark was likely an uneducated (even [[homeschooled]]) young child who tagged along with his mother as she occasionally followed Jesus's ministry, so grammar arguments are not dispositive with respect to his writing.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 01:22, 5 April 2017 (EDT) | :::::Appeal to grammatical perfection is a factor to consider, but Mark was not a grammarian.
