Marcan priority (or Markan priority) is the hypothesis that the Gospel of Mark was the first of the three synoptic gospels to be written, and was used as a source by the other two (Matthew and Luke).
The Gospel of Mark [a] is the second of the four canonical Gospels and one of the three synoptic Gospels. It tells of the ministry of Jesus from his baptism by John the Baptist to his death, the burial of his body, and the discovery of his empty tomb.
Aramaic Sources of Mark's Gospel is a book by Maurice Casey, who is a reader in early Jewish and Christian studies at the University of Nottingham. Casey takes four passages from the Book of Mark and reconstructs what an original written Aramaic source would have said if the Book of Mark was a translation of that source.
Textual variants in the Gospel of Mark are the subject of the study called textual criticism of the New Testament. Textual variants in manuscripts arise when a copyist makes deliberate or inadvertent alterations to a text that is being reproduced.
Casey's work argued strongly for Aramaic sources behind the New Testament documents, specifically for Q and the Gospel of Mark. [10] [11]Casey's Aramaic ideas were challenged by Stanley E. Porter in Excursus: A response to Maurice Casey on the Languages of Jesus [12] citing modern scholarship, [13] that the linguistic environment of Roman Palestine was probably multilingual.
