I get to do a "My Cousin Vinny" remake for Christian apologetics.I believe Mark was an eyewitness, since he was one of the "Seventy Disciples." Even so, the witnesses I referred to were Matthew, John and Peter. You called the wrong man up to the stand. Peter, though he was absent during the night of the investigation, witnessed Jesus' death and saw Him alive again. One insignificant moment of "hearsay" (which is just reporting the words of another, like a journalist) is not going to kill the verdict. At the time, the inquisition of Jesus would have been public and recorded by official scribes. Also, you didn't call up the other witnesses, who are vital for fact-checking in a court case. If three of the four witnesses saw the murder’s buildup, you don’t need the fourth who happened to be somewhere else.
