Gospel of Mark

Canonical Gospel of the New Testament
(Redirected fromBible/Mark)

The Gospel According to Mark[Greek: τὸ κατὰ Μᾶρκον εὐαγγέλιον,to kata Markon euangelion] (c.70), commonly referred to as theGospel of Markor simplyMark,is the second book of theNew Testament,but most contemporary scholars now regard it as the earliest of the gospels accepted ascanonby most Christians, believing it to be a source for the othersynoptic gospels.It focuses particularly on the last week of the life ofJesusin Jerusalem, and emphasizes theMessianic Secret,with Jesus concealing his message through parables, and his disciples failing to understand both the implication of his miracles and the meaning of the things he predicts about his arrest, death and resurrection. Most scholars believe that the original text of the gospel ends at Mark 16:8 with the discovery of Jesus' empty tomb and that the following account of his resurrection appearances is a later addition. According to tradition and some early church writers, the author isMark the Evangelist,a companion of the apostlePeter,but this has been disputed.

Jesuscame from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

  • The beginning of the gospel ofJesusChrist,theSon of God;As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.Johndid baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they ofJerusalem,and were all baptized of him in theriverof Jordan, confessing theirsins.And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; And preached, saying,There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. I indeed have baptized you withwater:but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

  • And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.AndJesus,moved withcompassion,put forth hishand,and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; And saith unto him,See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things whichMosescommanded, for a testimony unto them.
