Summary
In comparison with Matthew and Luke, Mark’s gospel has less supplementary matter beyond what is in the triple tradition, and its order of pericopes is virtually always paralleled in one or the other. It is rich in Semitisms and in features of translation from Hebrew or Aramaic to Greek. It is our best clue to the contents of Hebrew Ur-Matthew. Around a fifth of Mark’s material is unique and looks like reminiscences that Peter could have dashed into oral presentations about Jesus.
