Gospel of Mark
Shortest canonical biography
The Gospel of Mark is the second book of the New Testament, traditionally attributed to John Mark, a companion of the apostle Peter.
It is the shortest and likely earliest of the four canonical gospels, presenting a fast-paced narrative of Jesus's ministry, miracles, death, and resurrection.
Mark emphasizes action over discourse, frequently using "immediately" to drive the story forward.
Scholars often refer to it simply as Mark: Mark portrays Jesus as a suffering servant.
