As you, David, are a CT (contributing theologian) on TT, ought we exhibit the same caution when reading you? IFO always do.

I don't know where you got the 340 AD date.  Hippolytus was born 80 years
after the apostle John died, about 170 A.D.  He died a martyr around 236
A.D.  His mentor was Irenaeus, whose mentor was Polycarp, whose mentor was
John the apostle. What reason do you have to doubt the names that he lists
for the seventy ordained by Jesus in Luke 10?

Use him for an authority if you wish.
I don't

Upon what authority do you base your perspective that Mark was not around
during Christ's ministry?

I caution you not to embellish upon second hand theories that you read from
theologians in such a way that it would cause you to reject primary
historical documents.

Peace be with you.
David Miller.
