The relationship of ἀρχὴ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου to its context has been considered by Cranfield, who lists ten options,7 and Boring, who considers twelve.8 The main question is whether 1:1 functions as a title (or an incipit9) for the entire work or whether it introducesthe book either on its own or part of a larger section (e.g., 1:1–8; 1:1–11; 1:1–13; 1:...
Traditionally Mark has been associated with the apostle Peter, while Luke has been associated with Paul.39 In Eusebius’s Ecclesiastical History (3:39) he discusses “the extant five books of Papias” (a 2nd century bishop of Hierapolis).
