Mark's view of the disciples
Where I demonstrate and than some that "Mark" (author) had a primary purpose of discrediting supposed Jesus' disciples (dissed peoples). This Thread should be sent out into the World with its companion Thread:
"The Simontic Problem". "Mark's" Negative Casting of Peter
Brenda Deen Schildgen points out in A Blind Promise: Mark's Retrieval of Esther:
14:49-50The verb pleroo (fill, fulfill, accomplish), however, occurs only once in the Gos-pel of Mark in relation to Scripture, when Jesus says at the time of his arrest, all hina plerothosin hai graphai. kai aphentes auton ephugon pantes ("'Let the Scriptures be fulfilled.' Then the disciples all deserted him and ran away" [Mk 14:49]).

How ironic that the only time "Mark" presents a straight-forward supposed claim of prophecy fulfillment it is that the supposed disciples would abandon Jesus. This dove tales (so to speak) nicely with "Mark's" Jesus being unclear when speaking to his disciples regarding his Teaching & Healing Ministry but in contrast being clear to his disciples regarding his Passion Ministry. His disciples think they understand his Teaching & Healing Ministry even though he is unclear and do not understand his Passion Ministry even though he is clear (those Readers initiated into the mysteries of GMark understand that "understand" means "accept" and "do not understand" means "reject"). Marcion must have loved interpreting this.
Note that evil & wicked Christian translators have tried to hide "Mark's" point here by making the second part a separate verse. As spin would say "That's naughty". Even naughtier is that this same Church of Satan has forged another use of the offending word with a non-Markan type of use as previously indicated in this unholy Forum:
JoeWallack fulfilled, the KJV was reckoned with transgressor
Fat Bastard? "Even stink would say, "That stinks"".
