Evangelist whose gospel text is compared with Matthew's.
It would be a task for your diligence to set forth the sayings of the Gospel and to compare with each other those of Matthew and of Mark.
' But as for Mark's text, since it plainly seems to cut off the Son also from knowledge, we understand it thus:
Adversus Marcionem
Apostolic man credited with a gospel understood as recording Peter's preaching.
The same authority of the apostolic churches will give patronage to the other gospels too, which we likewise have through them and according to them — John's, I mean, and Matthew's — although that which Mark published is affirmed to be Peter's, whose interpreter Mark was.
In short, John and Matthew instil faith into us from the apostles, Luke and Mark renew it from the apostolic men — beginning from the same rules, so far as concerns the one God the Creator, and his Christ, born of a virgin, the supplement of the law and the prophets.
