4. The Hebrew scriptures (Old Testament) is quoted only once.

5. It is presumed that the readers know the Roman leader in Palestine - Pontius Pilot. (Pilot is explained in Mathew's and Luke's Gospels.)

6. Everyday uses of Latin and Greek occur more frequently in Mark than in the other Gospels - give examples - see 5:9, 5:15, 6:37, 15:39, 44
