 Supporters of Marcan priority see this as Matthew and Luke improving the style of the material they incorporate from Mark.Supporters of Marcan posteriority, however, see Mark as recasting material from Matthew and Luke in his own peculiar style, less like lofty literature and more in a vivid, fast-moving style befitting oral preaching.Mark's gospel is by far the shortest, just over half the length of Luke, and omits much found in Matthew and Luke.
