(Greek: τὸ κατὰ Μᾶρκον εὐαγγέλιον, to kata Markon euangelion)
(the second book of the ‘New Testament’)
.
(the Gospel According to Mark is one of the 4 canonical gospels and the 3 ‘synoptic gospels’)
(it tells of the ministry of ‘Jesus’ from his baptism by ‘John the Baptist’ to his death and burial and the discovery of the empty tomb – there is no genealogy or birth narrative, nor, in the original ending at ‘chapter 16’, any post-resurrection appearances)
(it portrays ‘Jesus’ as an heroic man of action, an ‘exorcist’, a ‘healer’, and a ‘miracle worker’)
(‘Jesus’ is also the ‘Son of God’, but he keeps his identity secret, concealing it in parables so that even the disciples fail to understand)
(all this is in keeping with prophecy, which foretold the fate of the ‘messiah’ as ‘Suffering Servant’)
(the gospel ends, in its original version, with the discovery of the empty tomb, a promise to meet again in ‘Galilee’, and an unheeded instruction to spread the good news of the ‘resurrection’)
(traditionally thought to be an epitome (summary) of ‘Matthew’, which accounts for its place as the second gospel in the Bible, most scholars now regard it as the earliest of the gospels)
(most scholars also reject the tradition which ascribes it to ‘Mark the Evangelist’, the companion of ‘Peter’, and regard it as the work of an unknown author working with various sources including collections of miracle stories, controversy stories, parables, and a ‘passion narrative’)
