`  == Lead of article ==  According to WP:LEAD,``The lead should be able to stand alone as a concise overview. It should define the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points—including any prominent controversies. The emphasis given to material in the lead should roughly reflect its importance to the topic, according to reliable, published sources, and the notability of the article's subject is usually established in the first few sentences. Apart from trivial basic facts, significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article.`` This article's lead does not follow those guidelines. The lead should refer to the accepted theory that Mark was used as a source of both Matthew and Luke and briefly discuss the very ``prominent controversy`` surrounding the end of the Gospel. It should not refer to  ``an understanding of 1st century Greco-Roman culture regarding oral tradition`` or `` pre-Pauline beliefs`` because those concepts are not covered in the remainder of the article. The guidelines also state ``the lead should be written in a clear, accessible style`` which the last paragraph is not. Once again I will leave this for a day or so to see if anyone comments before I try to change anything.  `
