Complete the reasons why some sources are reliable.** Why might some of these sources not be 100% reliable? 2 reasons. • Eyewitness information from Peter is reliable because... • Mark’s personal experience is reliable because.. • Mark was directly inspired by God so he is reliable because... • Oral tradition is reliable because... • Written accounts of stories about Jesus’ miracles etc are reliable because... • Earlier documents egcollectionsof Jesus’ sayings/ UR Markus in Aramaic are reliable because... Mark heard Peter himself, many times, telling what he had seen and heard, and he was closest to Jesus They were written down very soon after Jesus, while the stories were told by eyewitnesses. Mark could tell for himself that facts like the Last Supper and the arrest were true, as he may have been there. The Holy Spirit would have helped Mark explain truthfully & correctly who Jesus was The stories are written in Aramaic, which is how they were first told, and Mark was using this Aramaic version & translating it.
