Clearly; just note how many times Mark begins sentences with KAI. This is in
imitation of the Hebrew narrative style. There are, to be sure, whole
sections with very few KAI's beginning sentences, but they are rare. This is
a significant argument against the Markan authorship of the long ending of
Mark as well as of in the passage in question. The danger in this is that
style dictates a likelihood of a particular conjunction occuring. It really
cannot say whether in a given situation it did or did not occur.
