Argument 2 — Multiple attestation: Mike Licona found 19+ passages across Mark, M (Matthew-only), L (Luke-only), and John independently attesting Jesus's death/resurrection predictions. Historians consider TWO independent sources "pay dirt" — this has far more. Jesus's prayer in Gethsemane (knowing he'll die) is in Mark 14, Matthew 26, and Luke 22 independently.

Historical Evidence Jesus Predicted His Death and Resurrection: The Mark Series pt 38 (10_32-34) 00:17:20 – 00:19:25

Argument 2 — multiple independent attestation

M = content unique to Matthew (not in Luke/Mark). L = content unique to Luke (not in Matthew/Mark). John = non-synoptic. Licona surveys 19+ passages across these independent sources. Historians normally consider 2 independent sources strong confirmation. Having 19+ is extraordinary. The variety of forms (direct predictions, prayer, Last Supper words, parables) adds strength.
