Why did Mark have a character in his narrative say, "He is risen!" if Mark thought Jesus' body was still in the tomb?

The honest answer is that I neither know nor care: I don't have sufficient evidence to consider that book an accurate historical record, and even if I did I certainly don't have reason to take those beliefs to be an accurate representation of what objectively happened.

I'm not asking you to make a judgment about the historical accuracy of gMark.

I'm asking you to read the text and tell me whether you think Mark really thought Jesus' body was still in tomb after seeing that one of the characters in Mark's play said, "He is risen!"?


Read the text. What did Mark think had happened?
