Re[2]: Q and Papias

     Alternatively, Mark may have seen no need to repeat what Matthew had 
     already written.  One of Mark's objectives seems to have been brevity 
     so a LOT of material was left out.  I don't think the fact that 
     because a pericope of group of pericopes is in or out of a particular 
     gospel is a sign of anything other than that the author carefully 
     chose his material to fit his own particular purpose.

Does no one have a problem with the "birth story" tacked on to the 
beginning of Matthew?  The "core" text of Matthew begins exactly where
Mark begins--with the appearance of John the Baptist.  Whatever one's view of 
the nature of Q, the lack of such a birth story in Mark would seem further 
evidence of Mark's priority--as is, possibly, the lack of a genuine 
"resurrection" postscript in Mark.
