the Gospel According to Mark
The message of Mark's gospel is captured in a single verse: "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many" (10:45). Chapter by chapter, the book unfolds the dual focus of Christ's life: service and sacrifice.
Mark portrays Jesus as a Servant on the move, instantly responsive to the will of the Father. By preaching, teaching and healing, He ministers to the needs of others even to the point of death. After the Resurrection, He commissions His followers to continue His work in His power - servants following in the steps of the perfect Servant.
The ancient title for this gospel was Kata Markon, "According to Mark." The author is best known by his Latin name Marcus, but in Jewish circles he was called by his Hebrew name John. Acts 12:12, 25 refer to him as "John, whose surname was Mark.
