The Gospel Of Mark

Introduction “ThebeginningofthegospelofJesusChrist,theSonofGod..."

SobeginstheGospelaccordingtoMark,theshortestofthefourgospels,likelythefirstonewritten.ItisoftenoverlookedbecauseofthegospelsofMatthewandLuke.YettheBeliever’sBibleCommentarynotesthatbecauseofitsbrevity,Mark’sgospelisanidealintroductiontotheChristianfaith.Inmissionfieldsitisoftenthefirstbooktranslatedintoanewlanguage.

WhowasMark?Whatmakeshisgospelunique?Let'sstartwiththe...

Author TheearlyandunanimousopinionisthatJohnMarkwrotethisgospel.HismotherwasMary,whohadalargehouseinJerusalem(Ac12:12).SomespeculatetheLastSuppertookplaceinherhome(Robertson’sWordPictures),alsothatMarkmayhavebeentheyoungmanwhoflednaked(Mk14:51-52).HiscousinwasBarnabas,aLevitefromCyprus(Ac4:36-37;Col4:10).

MarktraveledwithPaulandBarnabasontheirfirstmissionaryjourney,butturnedback(Ac13:5,13).ThiscausedtroublebetweenPaulandBarnabas(Ac15:36-41),thoughhelaterbecameafellowlaborerandcomforttoPaul(Phm1:24;Col4:10-11).InPaul’sfinalwords,hewrotethatMarkproved“usefultomeforministry”(2Ti4:11).

MarkalsoaccompaniedPeter,whocalledhim“hisson”(hisconvert?)andwhowasin“Babylon”(Rome?)atthetime(1Pe5:13).TraditionsoutsidetheBiblestatethatMarkwasaninterpreterforPeter(Papias,130A.D.),andthatMarkcomposedhisgospelmostlyfromPeter'smemoirs(JustinMartyr,150A.D.).

Date Accordingtotradition,MarkwenttoAlexandriainEgyptwherehediedin64A.D.Barnessuggeststhebookwaswrittenbetween56and63A.D.,andotherscholarsdatethebookintheearly50’s.Aplausibledatewouldbe57-59A.D.(BibleKnowledgeCommentary).

Theme Mark’sgospelwasevidentlywrittentoGentiles,perhapsChristiansinRome(BKC);notethefollowing:

• Jewishcustomsareexplained-Mk7:3-4

• AramaicexpressesaretranslatedintoGreek-Mk3:17;5:41;7:11

• Romanreckoningoftimeisused-Mk6:48;13:35

• OnlyMarkidentifiesSimonofCyreneasthefatherofRufus-Mk15:21;Ro16:13

• FewOTquotationsareused

ThefocusappearstobeonJesusasthePerfectServant(BBC).Markemphasizesthedeeds

oftheLordmorethanHiswords(herecordsnineteenmiracles,butonlyfourparables),thedeedsofonewho“didnotcometobeserved,buttoserve”(Mk10:45).ThusonecouldsaythatthethemeofMark’sgospelis:

“Jesus,ServantofMan”

Special Characteristics Itisanearlygospel.Probablythefirstgospelwritten.Allbut31versesarequotedintheothergospels,leadingmanytoconcludethatMatthewandLukeusedMark’sgospelassourcematerial.

Itisaconcisegospel.Theshortestofthefourgospels.Lukehas1151verses,Matthew1071,John879,Mark661.Mark’sentiregospelcanbereadaloudin1.5hours.

Itisafast-pacedgospel.Over40timesheusesawordtranslated“straightway”or“immediately.”Two-thirdsoftheversesbeginwith“and”.Thepresenttenseisusedfrequently(e.g.,theycome...Hesays...Hesends...).

Itisavividgospel.Markpresents“livelylittletouches”notfoundintheothergospels(Hendriksen).“...hewrotewithallthegraphicdistinctivenessandvividnessofaneyewitness”(Erdman).ItmayhavebeenPeter'sreminiscences,orperhapshisown,thataccountforsuchdetails.

Itisanevangelisticgospel.Itopenswith“ThebeginningofthegospelofJesusChrist...”(Mk1:1),andcloseswith"Gointoalltheworldandpreachthegospeltoeverycreature"(Mk16:15).
