The Gospel According to Mark

The Greek phrase translated "and immediately" occurs 42 times in the Gospel of Mark, and the book is the shortest and most action-packed of the gospels. Tradition holds that the author of Mark was a secretary who traveled with the Apostle Peter and that the text of the book records Peter's eyewitness testimony of Jesus. The character of Jesus appears as secretive and mischievous in this gospel and his actions are often unpredictable and scandalous. While Jesus performs many miracles in Mark's gospel, such as casting out demons or healing the sick, he often orders his audience not to tell anyone what they have seen. Matthew Brown Riddle's commentary on the Gospel of Mark contains a detailed, in-depth description of the text of this powerful, vigorous gospel. Each verse of the Biblical text is followed by commentary and explanations that illuminate the meaning of the scriptures.
