The Gospel According to Mark was written by John whose surname was Mark. Mark was a close companion of the Apostle Peter, also wrote the book of Acts, and is an individual mentioned several times in the New Testament. Mark was often referred to by the name, John Mark, who was a cousin of Barnabas. The book of Mark was originally written to target Roman believers, particularly Gentiles. Mark presents Jesus as the suffering Servant of the Lord and focuses on the deeds of Jesus. Mark explained the humanity of Jesus more clearly than the other gospel writers by emphasizing Jesus' human feelings, limitations, and other elements, which demonstrated the human side of Jesus.I believe you will enjoy this study as you gain insight into the ministry of Jesus Christ from Mark's perspective as he was led by the Holy Spirit provide his record of Jesus' life, work, and ministry.
