Marko

Gospel · New Testament · Traditionally John Mark · circa 65-75 CE

The Gospel of Mark is the shortest of the canonical Gospels, focusing on the active ministry, suffering, and resurrection of Jesus. It depicts Jesus as the authoritative Son of God whose identity is often misunderstood or hidden. The narrative moves swiftly toward Jesus's crucifixion in Jerusalem, emphasizing the cost of true discipleship.
