 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?
