Mark 1-4, Psalm 17

from Commuter Bible Hosted by John Ross

The gospel of Mark is one of the three synoptic gospels, “Synoptic” basically means “seeing the same thing,” the other two of which are Matthew and Luke. Historical evidence from early church fathers affirms that the apostle Peter is the one who passed these reports on to his attendant and writer, John Mark. Mark’s gospel is the shortest, but the most action-packed, as he includes a number of accounts and moves quickly from one scene to the next. connecting his stories with phrases like “immediately,” “just then” and “as soon as.” We also get a sense for how hectic life must have been for Jesus, as crowds push in around him demanding more and more of His time. Mark 1 - 1:08 . Mark 2 - 8:01 . Mark 3 - 13:04 . Mark 4 - 18:13 . Psalm 17 - 24:59 . ::: Christian Standard Bible translation. All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.
