Introduction to Mark

Why read the Gospel of Mark?
The Gospel of Mark is the shortest and most fast-paced of the four Gospels. Written in a vivid, action-oriented style, it presents Jesus as the Servant King—one who acts with authority, serves with compassion, and ultimately gives His life for others.

Mark focuses less on long teachings and more on what Jesus did. The word “immediately” appears again and again, drawing readers into a Gospel full of movement, miracles, and urgency. This Gospel reminds us that faith is not only something we believe, but something we live out through obedience and trust.

If you want to understand:

• Who Jesus is through His actions and power

• What true servanthood looks like in everyday life

• How following Christ involves courage, sacrifice, and faith

—— Then the Gospel of Mark is for you.

Overview

The Gospel of Mark has 16 chapters and can be broadly divided into these key sections:

1. The Beginning of the Good News (Ch. 1): The ministry of John the Baptist and the launch of Jesus’ mission.

2. The Power and Authority of Jesus (Chs. 2–8): Miracles, healings, and authority over sickness, nature, and evil.

3. The Way of the Servant (Chs. 9–10): Teachings on humility, sacrifice, and true greatness.

4. The Suffering Servant (Chs. 11–15): Jesus’ journey to the cross, revealing the cost of redemption.
