Thank you, Clay. Yes, Mark is the "action man" with his repeated breathless reporting KAI EUQUS.... Having heard Peter report these events again and again, he must have gotten a mental picture like an "action replay" playback which he then committed to paper as a direct, unrevised and uncorrected narrative. Far from being the "uncouth abbreviator of Matthew", Mark is the amanuensis of Peter. Peter along with John were reported by Luke in Acts 4:13 as being ANQRWPOI AGRAMMATOI... KAI IDIWTAI. Perhaps Mark was consciously or unconsciously reproducing Peter's Galilean fisherman's preaching style?
