Two 4th-century manuscripts, now known as Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, contain the earliest complete manuscripts of Mark, but do not include the addition known as the "Long Ending" (verses 16:9-20). However, writings from the early Church Fathers indicate that the Long Ending must have existed by the late second century.
However, the gospels were originally anonymous and were only attributed by the Church fathers to these apostles later in the second century. Ian Wilson (Jesus: The Evidence) agrees it can come as quite a shock to discover that no-one can even be sure who wrote the gospels. He says that despite the versions printed in our Bibles long having borne the names Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, these names are mere attributions. The consensus of scholars is that the gospel accounts could not have been written by eyewitnesses to the events they portray.
The Church Fathers soon realised that there was a literary dependency among, at least, the synoptic gospels, such that two of them must have been copied from a third. They decided that Matthew's Gospel came first and that Mark and Lukewere copied from it. Modern scholars agree in principle with the Church Fathers, but say that Mark's Gospel was actually first, and that Matthew and Luke were copied from it. John's Gospel was inspired by Luke, with some material taken direct from Mark. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that Mark seems to depend on traditions (and perhaps already shaped sources) received in Greek, but also sees the possibility of some material coming from the somewhat earlier letters of Paul.
