Did Mark’s Gospel Really End Early? Easter Text Mysteries & the Joanna Ossuary

That Don’t Sound Right is all about conversation—the kind we had before the internet, when you couldn’t fact-check mid-sentence and the “experts” were just whoever was in the room. If you’ve ever listened along and thought, that don’t sound right, you’re exactly who this show is for.

In this special Easter episode, Peter and Cecil welcome guest Phillip Murray—creator of the YouTube channel The League of Biblical Enthusiasts—for a fascinating, down-to-earth conversation about some of the most intriguing questions in biblical texts.

Did the Gospel of Mark originally end at 16:8? Why do later manuscripts include a longer ending? What happened in the 19th century that reshaped how scholars understand the New Testament? And what about the mysterious Joanna ossuary—could it connect Luke’s Joanna and Theophilus to real, high-status historical figures?

Phillip brings thoughtful insight (and a knack for making complex ideas accessible) as the conversation weaves through manuscript discoveries, historical context, and what these findings might mean for how we read the Gospels today.

It’s curious, conversational, and just the right amount of “wait…what?”
