→Analysis: Four reasons to consider this phrase not to be authentic include
The sentence is not clear as to whether it is a quote of [[Jesus]] or a commentary by Mark, which further raises issues as to whether it was inserted into the manuscript. But the [[Codex Sinaiticus]], one of the earliest manuscripts, contains this phrase.

Four reasons to consider this phrase not to be authentic include:
*it's grammatically incomplete, as a terse insertion added later would be
*it's unclear who said it, which is inconsistent of the style of Mark
*the phrase does not fit well in the context
*Mark, as a Roman or Gentile, was generally unconcerned about the fulfillment of Scripture
