Some very interesting points here. Thank you.
How similar are the Synoptics, and how do we represent it?

Goodacre represents the relationship between Matthew and Mark, in terms of the overlap between them, this way:

And this is his diagram for Luke and Mark:

In other words, by adopting so much of Mark (according to the hypothesis) in Matthew and in Luke, very little is left in terms of passages that are unique to Mark.
Mark Goodacre has a relevant post here:Third - and this one is really interesting to me - there does not appear to be a SINGLE indisputable reference to Mark in ANY of these writings. There are many possible uses of Mark, but every single one can be mirrored in another gospel. There's not even one reference to unique Markan material or even specifically Markan phrasing, which I find particularly interesting seeing as Markan priority seems to be a very common belief. Maybe Mark was written first but kept private until well after the other gospels were authored? I'm not sure. I feel like I'm missing something here - I'm very new to this after all - but this is certainly something to note.
