Gospel of Mark FULL
Background: This Gospel concentrates mainly on what Jesus did, although the writer does include some of Jesus’ teachings. Within the first few chapters several miracles are recorded. He does not speak about Jesus’ birth but begins with John the Baptist’s work and Jesus’ baptism and temptations. Ch1-9are about Jesus’ work in Galilee, Ch10-15his journey to Jerusalem ending in his death, and Ch16, about his resurrection. Ch16:9-20, was probably by the early church. 16chs
Author: John Mark wrote this Gospel using Peter’s sermons as his main source. Thus, Mark lets us see Jesus through Peter’s eyes
Date and Location: About 57-59AD, Mark wrote his Gospel from Rome (Col.1:10) places him with Paul in c.62 *Mt., Mark, Luke are called Synoptic Gospels. Only about 30veres in Mark contain accounts not paralleled in either Mat. and Luke. While Mt. and Luke may have borrowed from Mark, they each tell what Mark have omitted and vice versa
Recipients: Gentile Roman Christians, as indicated by:
*Mark’s portrait of Jesus as a man of action fits Roman mind-set
*Latin words “denarius” (12:15) ”Praetorium”(15:16)
*Scarcity of OT quotations
*Its explanation of Jewish words (3:17; 5:41; 7:11, 34; 14:36) and Customs (7:3; 14:12; 15:42)
*its omission of parables meaningful mainly to Jews, such as the Good Samaritan and the Pharisee and the tax collector
Purpose: Roman Christians had come early to a personal knowledge of Jesus and had a vibrant testimony for him (1:8) but would soon face persecution. Mark as a good pastor, provided them a fresh and exciting biographical portrait of Jesus
Comparison:
Isa and Mark
*Both present Christ as the servant of God
Luke and John:See Mat. Comparison
*John and Mark emphasis the power of miracles
