He views himself

known after having been hidden for ages.
This "mystery" pertains to
the Gentiles, and how Christ would be in them (

o
Main Theme-
Jesus of Nazareth is the suffering servant who came to die for the sins of
all men. He did His work and "immediately" went to the cross, so be encouraged all who
are suffering because Christ suffered for you.
o
Structure- Apparently Mark wrote his Gospel account to encourage gentile Christians in
Rome who were facing the persecutions of the Emperor Nero. History is clear about the
atrocious behavior of the Romans and especially the insanity of Nero. The other
evidence that scholars bring up concerning mark's audience as being gentiles is the fact
that Mark does not deal with Jewish Laws and he only quotes one prophecy from the
Old Testament. There is also careful thought into explaining Jewish customs and idioms.
(See Mark 3:7; 5:41; 7:2; 10:46; 14:36; 15:34; 9:43; 14:12; 15:42).
o
Major People- Jesus Christ, Mark, the roman readers
References Used- Early Christian writers and traditions place the Gospel of Mark sometime close
to the end of Peter's life, around 60-65 AD. Most scholars agree that the Gospel of Mark was
written before the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, while the Second Temple in Jerusalem was
still standing (Mark 13:1-2). Many scholars do not believe in the miracle of predictive prophecy
and argue that the Gospel of Mark was written after the fall of Jerusalem, because of the
accurate details of the events that Jesus spoke about. Mark's Gospel account seems to have
been written as encouragement to the Christians who were facing the persecution of the
Emperor Nero which took place in 64 AD.
Background of Book- The gospel of Mark does not proclaim who the author is within the
document, yet the information that we know about Mark can be seen in the writer of this
gospel. It is evident that the writer was Jewish, he was a Christian, and he was familiar with
every day Jewish life, as well as the Jewish Scriptures. We know from the Scriptures that Mark
was Jewish, and he knew the teachings of Jesus very well. He also knew the teachings of the rest

of the apostles. It is also important to notice that after Peter was imprisoned he went to the
house of Mary, the mother of Mark (Acts 12:12-17). Also Peter mentions in his epistle "my son
Mark" (1 Peter 5:13). During Paul's missionary journeys Mark became a companion of Paul and
Barnabas, and he left them at Perga in Pamphylia (Acts 13:13), after Paul had rebuked him. Many
years later Mark regained the favor of Paul (Col. 4:10; 2 Tim. 4:11). Early Church tradition
unanimously ascribes the second gospel to Mark as a companion of Peter and the writer of the
second Gospel. One prologue to the Gospels which was written around 160 AD has this
statement: "Mark… Was Peter's interpreter, and after Peter's decease wrote down this gospel in
the region of Italy." Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria and Tertullian also attest to Mark as the
author.

Tentative Outline of the Book-
Personal Application- For me, in reading the book of Mark, it helps me to understand just how
great our lord and Savior Jesus Christ was. I have such stronger faith in him simply because I
know by reading this text, he performed many miracles and was definitely a man of actions
rather than just words.
