I love the New Testament! Mark is the second book of the New Testament and it’s almost like a summary of what we read in Matthew. which explains why it’s the shortest of the 4 gospels. The book of Mark does not disclose the author but many are in agreement that it’s one of Peter’s friends John Mark. Mark skips the whole genealogy of Jesus and starts right out with his Baptism in the Jordan. The leading and temping of Jesus is the desert is cut down to a couple verses as opposed to what we got in the book of Matthew. The book continues with Jesus choosing his disciples and going on about with his teaching. This book since it is shorter seems to move much faster and is filled with much action.
