Brief Outline of
the Four Gospels — Part 2 |
| “Have an outline of sound words” (2 Timothy 1:13, JND). |
| Markpresents Christ as the Perfect Servant: “He hath done all things well” (Mark 7:37). “For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). |
| It was written by the Lord’s failing servant, John Mark, who was not an apostle or eyewitness of the Lord’s life and ministry. This is a proof of its divine inspiration. Mark was later restored and used of the Lord (2 Timothy 4:11). |
| There is no genealogy, nothing of His birth or youth. In Bible times, it was not necessary for servants to be able to declare their parentage or ancestry. |
| It begins with His baptism, temptation, and His public ministry, and then records one busy activity of service to the next. It uses words like anon, forthwith, immediately, straightway, etc. “There were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat” (Mark 6:31). |
| It is the shortest of the four Gospels, but gives more details as to historical events. |
| It is also the most chronological of the four Gospels. |
