THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK
This shortest of all New Testament gospels is likely the first to have been
written, yet it often tells of Jesus' ministry in more detail than either
Matthew or Luke (for example, the miracle stories at Mark 5:1-20 or Mark
9:14-29). It recounts what Jesus did in a vivid style, where one incident
follows directly upon another. In this almost breathless narrative, Mark
stresses Jesus' message about the kingdom of God now breaking into human life as
good news (Mark 1:14-15) and Jesus himself as the gospel of God (Mark 1:1; 8:35;
10:29). Jesus is the Son whom God has sent to rescue humanity by serving and by
sacrificing his life (Mark 10:45).
