Mark is unavailable, but you can change that!

Understood today as the first written gospel, Mark seems to be the most direct and straightforward account of Jesus’ life. In his verse-by-verse commentary, Ralph P. Martin brings out the power of this eminently practical and persuasive Gospel. Martin emphasizes how Mark’s Gospel is a story of action—as encouraging and compelling today as when it was written.

These three human experiences are graphically portrayed in several stories and pieces of teaching in our chapter. They can be illustrated from Mark’s accounts. We will, however, deal with the chief contents of the unfolding drama of Jesus’ life as the evangelist records it. These men are genuinely puzzled. They have heard their teacher speak of a Son of man who is bound to suffer (8:31) before he receives the crown (8:38).
