Mark gets a couple of things wrong. He names the wrong brother as Herodius' first husband (Mark says she was married to Philip but she was married to yet another brother named Herod). Mark also places the death of JBap within the lifetime of Jesus while Josephus places it around 36 CE- several years after the alleged crucifixion.
