You focus on one statement, without considering WHY Mark said it and what it means. You don’t let the bible explain itself. I do.

But the point is that anyone, left to their own devices, can read what they will in the Bible. Someone further down that rabbit hole than you are will see something there that you don't see.

And once you reject the teaching authority of the Catholic Church, you will always be stuck in a position of "He said, she said"; the one institution that assembled the very Bible you cite is the only one in a position to clarify points that might come up for question, and you reject this.

You trust the teaching authority of your church. I trust the Holy Spirit. They are at odds with each other. You should reconsider.
