The Gospel of Mark
The Gospel According to Mark was approximately written between 50 and 60 A.D. It is the shortest of the four Gospels and also the second in chronological order.

The New Oxford Annotated Bible (NOAB) describes Mark as "a story of conflict – or rather multiple conflicts." There are numerous stories about how Jesus challenges teachings and opinions of rulers and high priest of the synagogues. Mark also mentions several episodes where Jesus drives out Satan's demons and other unclean spirits out of the local communities. In addition, the story of Jesus' temptation in the wilderness is depicted in this Gospel.
Mark is organized in seven distinctive sections which combined describe the adult life and ministry of Jesus Christ. The first details Christ baptism and temptation. The second section begins Jesus' ministry in Galilee. The third section continues his ministry and intensifies the conflict between him and the Pharisees. The forth section covers the last portions of his ministry past the Galilean region along with the prediction of his death and his resurrection. The fifth section begins his journey to Jerusalem. The sixth section tells of the continual ministry within Jerusalem. And the seventh and final section tells of his death and his resurrection.
