→Analysis: it's very similar to {{bibleref|Mark|15|28|version=KJV}}, which all modern translations recognize as a forged verse and exclude it
That leaves Mark 14:49 as the only outright embrace of a fulfillment of Scriptures in the [[Gospel of Mark]], and it does not stand as a complete sentence as it is in the similar rendition in the [[Gospel of Matthew]] at {{bibleref|Matthew|26|56}}.

The Greek at {{bibleref|Mark|14|49}} is incomplete: πληρωθῶσιν αἱ γραφαί, which literally (and in completely in grammar) means "fulfilled the writing." Every English translation of this phrase adds multiple words, as in "But let the scriptures be fulfilled."<ref>https://tips.translation.bible/tip_verse/mark-1449/</ref>

Some versions do not translate the word as "Scriptures", but as "prophecies" or "holy writings" or even as "Tanakh".<ref>https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Mark%2014:49</ref>

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.

Five reasons to consider this phrase not to be authentic include:
*it's grammatically incomplete, as a terse insertion added later would be
*it's very similar to {{bibleref|Mark|15|28|version=KJV}}, which all modern translations recognize as a forged verse and exclude it
*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
