Best Answer

Mark's Gospel has been called a book about the trial and crucifixion of Jesus, with a long introduction. In other words, the author of this Gospel focusses on the trial and crucifixion, providing only sufficient detail of the life and mission of Jesus in order to explain the context and reason for the crucifixion.

Mark's theme is the power and authority of Jesus as the eternal son of God.

Jesus Christ as the suffering servant.

What are the 4 Gospels in Christian Bible?

They are the Gospel of Matthew,Gospel of Mark,Gospel of Luke,and the Gospel of John.


The Gospel of John shows many similarities with which other gospel?

Because the Gospel of John was inspired largely by the Gospel of Luke, whenever John parallels the synoptic gospels it is usually most similar to Luke, except for a small number of passages that came direct from Mark's Gospel. John's Gospel has altered, elaborated and even reversed much of the original, while being careful not to too clearly contradict Luke.Luke and John are the only gospels that mentions Mary and Martha or Lazarus. Luke's Gospel tells of a parable in which Lazarus is resurrected. In John's Gospel, Lazarus, now the brother of Mary and Martha, really is resurrected by Jesus. The similarities could not have come by chance, while the differences are so great that they could not have been the same story, from a common source.Luke's Gospel is the only synoptic account that has Peter run to the tomb and, stooping down, look in and see the linen clothes laid by themselves. A feature of John's Gospel is that it often compares Peter unfavourably with the"disciple whom Jesus loved", and that is the case here, when John has the disciple accompanying Peter, outrunning Peter and seeing the clothes before Peter arrived. Nevertheless, John was careful to agree with Lukein that Peter did go straight to the tomb and see the clothes.The author of John seems to have wanted to place Thomas in an inferior position compared to the other apostles. Luke's Gospel developed the theme of the risen Jesus meeting the apostles at a meal in a room in Jerusalem. John's Gospel maintains that theme, but splits it into two meetings, with Thomas absent from the first and therefore not receiving the Holy Spirit. The final appearance of Jesus, in which he tells the fishermen to cast their nets on the other side, parallels a pre-crucifixion event in Luke's Gospel.
