Frustration must be setting in among Christian apologists at their failure to find those elusive 1st-century NT manuscripts!
In 2012, during a debate with Dr. Bart Ehrman, Dr. Daniel Wallace proclaimed that there had been a discovery of a 1st century fragment of the Gospel attributed to Mark. Textual critics have been waiting for over 5 years to finally see a 1st century manuscript only to receive some bad news today. As covered on the Evangelical Textual Criticism blog, if the fragment published about in the The Oxyrhynchus Papyri Vol. LXXXIII, is the one Daniel Wallace claimed was from the 1st century (and this looks increasingly likely) then it should at least be known now that it actually dates from the late second to early third centuries CE:
The absolute silence from Wallace, Habermas, Evans and others who promoted a 1st century dating is palpable, they all seem to have gone silent with this recent news. Hopefully more information can be made available soon. Thanks to Peter Gurry for…

it seems that mark is saying that FEAR/being afraid KILLS iman.
Quote:
It definitely says they were afraid. “They went out quickly and fled [ephugon] from the tomb for they were tromos kai ekstatsis. Tromos means “trembling” and ekstasis means something knocked out of its normal state, displaced or cast down. More figuratively it means knocked outside of one’s normal state of mind, i.e. “amazed.” “gobsmacked.” It can also mean”trance.” Ekstasis is the word we get “ecstasy” and “ecstatic” from, although it did not have the same meaning of bliss that it has in English, it’s more like “not oneself.” “Knocked for a loop.”
It says “they did not say anything to anybody” and ends with that. I don’t think that sentence or ending would make any sense at all if Mark really meant the reader to understand that they told people at all, much less that they ran straight to the disciples and told them.
