First step, *which* Mark? For our purposes, we'll recreate a super-gospel by merging all parts that we are reasonably sure have been considered part of Mark by some early Christian or another (up to 5th century or so). We know we don't have any *direct* evidence what the "early versions" (wherever they came from) looked like, so we'll have to reconstruct the separate sources through higher criticism anyway. However, looking at *where* and *how* separate variants have been merged into the text will tell us how *other* variants have likely been inserted, even when we don't have the pre-merged manuscripts anymore.

You've probably heard of the Documentary Hypothesis, according to which the Torah is the result of merging four previously independent narratives into one text. This *may* imply multiple authorship, but it doesn't have to - the original author might've just used multiple sources and didn't edit out the seams. Before we speculate about specific authorship and chronologies, we first have to identify the internal layers.

Note that in Jesus' rejection at home, we aren't actually told *where* that is. Mark takes no position on this because either it wasn't settled yet (likely), or because it is of little concern to its primary authors, who don't consider Jesus earthly to begin with and couldn't care less about Jewish midrash (except for trolling purposes).

The problem is that the primary reason to suspect Basilides is that he fits the profile. Our reference pool is so small that we only know like three Gnostics, and if two of them couldn't have written it, and it looks Gnostic, well it must've been the third!

# Ephphatha
On returning from the district of Tyre, Jesus went, by way of Sidon, to the Sea of Galilee, across the district of the Ten Towns. Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and almost dumb, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him. Jesus took him aside from the crowd quietly, put his fingers into the man's ears, and touched his tongue with saliva. Then, looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to the man, "Ephphatha!", which means "Be opened.". The man's ears were opened, the string of his tongue was freed, and he began to talk plainly. Jesus insisted on their not telling anyone; but the more he insisted, the more perseveringly they made it known, and a profound impression was made on the people. "He has done everything well!", they exclaimed. "He makes even the deaf hear and the dumb speak!".
# Feeding the 4000
About that time, when there was again a great crowd of people who had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him, and said, "My heart is moved at the sight of all these people, for they have already been with me three days and they have nothing to eat. If I send them away to their homes hungry, they will break down on the way; and some of them have come a long distance.".
"Where will it be possible", his disciples answered, "to get sufficient bread for these people in this lonely place?".
"How many loaves have you?", he asked. "Seven", they answered. Jesus told the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve out; and they served them out to the crowd. They had also a few small fish; and, after he had said the blessing, he told the disciples to serve out these as well. The people had sufficient to eat, and they picked up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left. There were about four thousand people. Then Jesus dismissed them.
Immediately afterwards, getting into the boat with his disciples, Jesus went to the district of Dalmanutha.
# Explanation of the Feedings
Here the Pharisees came out, and began to argue with Jesus, asking him for some sign from the heavens, to test him. Sighing deeply, Jesus said, "Why does this generation ask for a sign? I tell you, no sign will be given it.". So he left them to themselves, and, getting into the boat again, went away to the opposite shore.
Now the disciples had forgotten to take any bread with them, one loaf being all that they had in the boat. So Jesus gave them this warning. "Take care", he said, "beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.".
They began talking to one another about their being short of bread. Noticing this, Jesus said to them, "Why are you talking about your being short of bread? Don't you yet see or understand? Are your minds still so slow or comprehension? "Though you have eyes, do you not see? And though you have ears, do you not hear?". Don't you remember, when I broke up the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets of broken pieces you picked up?".
"Twelve", they said. "And when the seven for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you pick up?".
"Seven", they said. "Don’t you understand now?" he repeated.
# Like Trees
They came to Bethsaida. There some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and begged him to touch him. Taking the blind man's hand, Jesus led him to the outskirts of the village, and, when he had put saliva on the man's eyes, he placed his hands on him, and asked him, "Do you see anything?". The man looked up, and said, "I see the people, for, as they walk about, they look to me like trees.".
Then Jesus again placed his hands on the man's eyes; and the man saw clearly, his sight was restored, and he saw everything with perfect distinctness. Jesus sent him to his home, and said, "Do not go even into the village.".
# Who is Jesus?
Afterwards Jesus and his disciples went into the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples this question, "Who do people say that I am?".
"John the Baptist", they answered, "but others say Elijah, while others say one of the prophets.".
"But you", he asked, "who do you say that I am?". To this Peter replied, "You are the Christ." On which Jesus charged them not to say this about him to anyone.
# Rebuking of Peter
Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo much suffering, and that he must be rejected by the councillors, and the chief priests, and the teachers of the law, and be put to death, and rise again after three days. He said all this quite openly. But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him. Jesus, however, turning around and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter. "Out of my sight, Satan!", he exclaimed. "For you look at things, not as God does, but as people do.".
# Following Jesus
Calling the people and his disciples to him, Jesus said, "If anyone wishes to walk in my steps, let them renounce self, take up their cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save their life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, will lose their life will save it. What good is it to a person to gain the whole world and forfeit their life? For what could a person give that is of equal value with their life? Whoever is ashamed of me and of my teaching, in this unfaithful and wicked generation, of them will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels.".
# Those Who Are Standing Here
"I tell you", he added, "that some of those who are standing here will not know death until they have seen the kingdom of God come in power.".

2 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain alone by themselves. There his appearance was transformed before their eyes, 3 and his clothes became of a more dazzling white than any bleacher in the world could make them. 4 And Elijah appeared to them, in company with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus. 5 “Rabbi,” said Peter, interposing, “it is good to be here; let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6 For he did not know what to say, because they were much afraid. 7 Then a cloud came down and enveloped them; and from the cloud there came a voice — “This is my dearly loved son; listen to him.” 8 And suddenly, on looking around, they saw that there was now no one with them but Jesus alone.

9 As they were going down the mountainside, Jesus cautioned them not to relate what they had seen to anyone, until after the Son of Man should have risen again from the dead. 10 They seized on these words and discussed with one another what this ‘rising from the dead’ meant. 11 “How is it,” they asked Jesus, “that our teachers of the law say that Elijah has to come first?”
