Mark: Quick Summary

[csberry]

Where Matthew started with Jesus's genealogy and spent his Gospel recounting out Jesus's life and words fulfilled Old Testament prophesy, Mark's version is more action-packed. Mark skipped all of those "begats" and jumped right into a quick intro of John the Baptist and Jesus's baptism. Then BOOM! Jesus's ministry then kicks into gear. In this Gospel there were a lot of times that Jesus told people he healed or ministered to that he wanted them to keep what he did a secret. There also seemed to be more questioning of Jesus about who he was - Was he a prophet? Was he Elijah? Was he the Messiah?
