Mark

• The beginning of the Gospel about Jesus Christ,
  the Son of God. 1v1
• Frenzied, crowded, punchy
• Jesus authority to teach, over sickness, to
  forgive sin, over evil spirits, over death, over
  creation.
• Kingdom of God

  discourses, chapters 4 13
• Jesus flagrantly misunderstood
• Jesus suffering
• Two halves, 1-8 9-16
• Ends abruptly 16v8

John

• John adds stereoscopic depth to the picture we
  might gain of Jesus and his ministry, death and
  resurrection from the synoptic accounts alone. By
  telling the same story from another angle, with
  many things omitted that they include and with
  many emphasis that they scarcely treat, the total
  portrait is vastly richer than what would
  otherwise have been achieved.
• Dillard Longman, p174
