The Gospel According to Mark

Mark's writting on the bible is somewhat dull and repeats alot the word then. Mark is diferent from the rest because his accounts are more shopisticated and he leaves out Jesus's birth and rather starts off with his adult life. I have researched that the gospel of Mark was left out for some time but in the last 20 or 30 years some scholarshave considered it the most important piece of the new testament because he creates a vivd example of Jesus's life. The Gospel of Mark is vivid and concrete. Action dominates. A dramatic sense of urgency is present.

This gospel of Mark has the most important pieces of Jesus's life like his trial with stan in the dessert, the fishermen and the net, and describes all the miracles Jesus made throughtout the testament like for example when he revived the dead girl. I find this piece very metaphorical even though I am a strong beleiver but I am completely sure that the real meaning of this miracle like many other miracles is diferent. God revives a dead girl. This might actuallymena that the girl was a girl "dead in life" which had many problems and what Jesus just did was bring her back and end all her problems to make her a normal person again. Jesus’ ministry attracts many followers. The miracle stories become increasingly longer and more elaborate, emphasizing the supernatural power of Jesus’ authority. Mark says that “even wind and sea obey him” (4:35–41).
