Mark

Mark wrote “an apology [or apologetic] for the cross,”15 contending that it is precisely as the Crucified that Jesus proved himself to be the messianic King and the Son of God

In the Gospel, God (who refers to Jesus as his “beloved Son” at Jesus’ baptism and the transfiguration; 1:11; 9:7); demons (1:25; 3:11–12; 5:7); Jesus himself (12:6; 14:61); and a Roman centurion (15:39) all agree that Jesus is the Son of God.17

Jesus as the Son of God The preeminent theological theme in Mark’s Gospel is that Jesus is the miracle-working, authoritative Son of God

misunderstanding of who Jesus was, what it meant to be Messiah

doubly blind

abrupt ending

not to be served, but to serve

The ultimate purpose and theme of Mark is to present and defend Jesus’ universal call to discipleship.
