Reply To: WEEK 7 – Mark

[Brooke Percy]

This week we did our reading on the Gospel of Mark which will be very repetitive stories from different points of views in comparison to the other three Gospels (Matthew, John and Luke) in the Bible. The difference with Mark is that in His point of view He very much represents Jesus as not only King but Servant of God. His book is very fast paced in comparison to the other Gospels as well; he uses the word immediately quite often as if to put a sense or urgency behind it. Very little aside from the pivotal point of Jesus in Gethsemane before His arrest is it really even mentioned of Jesus walking away for alone time with God the Father; the other Gospels make Jesus appear to be very connected and at one needing His alone time during prayer to maintain that connection with God, yet in Mark we see very rarely him discussing the moments we know from the other Gospels that Jesus capitalized on in order to pray to the Father then reconnect with the disciples at a later time.
