Great exegesis, Eric! I love it when you dive into the Greek or Hebrew!

There's just one really big problem. The Apostles John and Mark did NOT write the gospel books that bear their names. These books are a lie. A LIE installed in the Bible!

Scholars today call them pseudepigrapha, books written in the name of someone, usually famous.

In the modern and ancient world as well, they were called FORGERIES.

We can note the very late authorship of John being well after his death; the book is usually credited by most scholars as being written by Johannian adherents who'd been deeply influenced by Hellenized (ie. Pagan) Pauline theology. Not the Jewish Apostle John.

In other words, they are lying books installed into the Bible by the Roman Catholic Church who supported a much more Pauline version of "Jesus". The Bible is after all, a product of the RCC, not GOD.
