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
• More action than teaching, just two major
  discourses, chapters 4 13
• Jesus flagrantly misunderstood
• Jesus suffering
• Two halves, 1-8 9-16
• Ends abruptly 16v8

3
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

• The Word, Jesus as Creator
• World fails to recognise or receive
• Not miracles that enacts the Kingdom but signs of
  Kingship

  the Christ and to have life in his name,

  him 10v18
