I'll be writing up more threads showing where Mark copied the OT. The fact that it's arguably word for word is strong evidence he was deliberately referencing what Jews would have picked up on instantly; the OT.

Of course it is extremely similar, you would use the prophecies to show Christ fulfilled them. Why would a Jew write about Jesus and show Him in a light that did not meet the expected Jewish Christ, why start trouble for ones self in going against the Jewish belief, it would not benefit yourself. So why do something that you would not know would work and take the abuse that came there way.

It cuts both ways the thing about prophecies, but your problem is that the few similarities I have shown so far are not prophecies. They're 'off-shoot' comments about these people's lives. How strange that their lives mirror the OT as if these facts about their lives were hand picked from the OT?

Theologically, why would God send a mediocre Messiah that no one was expecting. Being an all-knowing being he knew that his very own people, the Jews, would reject him. Jews are still not believing in Jesus today. It's all a part of God's plan though right?
