The classic study of The Four Gospels<\/em> by B. H. Streeter is available online<\/a>. I am linking to the chapter on the end of Mark\u2019s Gospel<\/a> because of my longstanding interest in that subject. Streeter drew the conclusion that John 21 was the lost ending of Mark. I think that putting it that way is problematic, but I do think that John 21 reflects knowledge of a lost ending of the Gospel of Mark, knowledge of which is also reflected in the Gospel of Peter.<\/p>\n
