Of course Jesus didn't really say any of this - you're quoting a
legend. The ancients' standard operating procedure was to invent
quotations. The Old Testament's sop was to invent quotations - 'God
said "Let there be light." '.

"Mark", who never claimed to be Mark, who never claimed to have been
there for any of this, who never claimed to have known Jesus, followed
ancient tradition. He needed a quote, he made it up.

You are citing legend.

It is not morally acceptable to say ... our story is truth but yours is
myth; ours is history but yours is a lie. It is even less morally
acceptable to ... manufactur[e] defensive or protective strategies that
apply only to one's own story.
