Quote:“Although the Gospel is anonymous, an ancient tradition ascribes it to John Mark, who is supposed to have composed it in Rome as a summary of Peter’s preaching. Modern scholars, however, find little evidence to support this tradition. …Mark appears to have drawn upon a rich variety of oral traditions of Jesus’ actions and teachings… Mark ends abruptly at 16.8. …In some later manuscripts, Mark’s story was ‘completed’.”-New Oxford Annotated Bible, NT, p57
