Best Answer

The gospel generally attributed to St Mark was written in Greek Koine, a dialect adopted in the Hellenistic world after the conquests of Alexander the great. Although the author has been described as a brilliant and creative writer, clearly quite literate in Greek, it is a paradox that he seems to have chosen to write in the style of a person struggling to express himself clearly, and occasionally using poor grammar.
