Argument 1 — Jesus's death predictions are very early: (a) Matthew 16:17-23 contains Semiticisms ("son of Jonah," "flesh and blood," "Hades") pointing to Aramaic origins, not later Greek tradition. (b) Mark 9:31 has a paronomasia (pun) in Aramaic: "son of man handed into the hands of men." (c) 1 Corinthians 11:24-25 (Last Supper) is written before the Gospels. (d) Paul distinguishes Jesus's commands from his own (1 Cor 7) — proving he doesn't invent words of Jesus.

Argument 1 — earliness of predictions

Hans Bayer: Semiticisms in Matthew 16 suggest pre-Matthean tradition with Palestinian Jewish-Christian roots, independent of Mark. Mark 9:31 aramaic paronomasia. 1 Corinthians 11 predates the Gospels. Paul's honesty in 1 Cor 7 ("I have no command from the Lord") proves he wouldn't fabricate Jesus sayings — yet he records the Last Supper prediction. All indicators point to authentic Jesus sayings, not later church invention.
