Well I want to wrap up this topic on my side.

Per ** you do not have permission to see this link ** point,”innumerable nodes along the chain of transmission where a factual mistake could have crept into the tradition” no doubt about it. As I have said countless time, I myself (I am a christian) do not hold the belief of the inerrancy of the scripture itself, however, I still believe that its general context are reliable and trustworthy. This is a passage that are a strong candidate to be a mistake and it seems to me that all I have read and analysed are indeed a mistake done by the writer of the Gospel of Mark. 

When you start to understand that the Gospels started to be written down years later after the events of Jesus´s life, and that the copyists and scribes were copying it one after another, you realize that inherent in this process, mistakes would be inevitable. The problem I think that people try to come up with so many gymnastics and elasticity somehow to reconcile some events, is because they are so attached to their fundamentalist and conservative mindset and views. I WAS ONCE LIKE THAT, but it changed when I started to read crucial and seriously sources on it and when I also started to do my own investigations and research on this topics, which I love it. 

Once again, thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts on this topic of mine.
