Gospel of Mark

The Gospel of Mark is the second of the synoptic gospels. It is very similar to Matthew, but it has some key differences. Unlike the Gospel of Matthew, Mark starts out with the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. The Gospel mostly concentrates on the last week of his life. Its swift narritive portrays Jesus as a heroic man if action, an exorcist, a healer, and a miracal worker. It calls him the Son of Man, the Son of God, and the Christ.
