Gospel of Mark

The Gospel of Mark is the earliest of the Gospels. By conservative estimates, it was already published by the year 70 AD. It is the most rudimentary among the Gospels retaining an outline that is simple and straightforward. It begins its narrative with the mission of John the Baptist and goes on with the ministry of Jesus in Galilee. After this, the evangelist narrates the ministry of Jesus in Jerusalem, his subsequent arrest, passion, death and ends with frightened and confused women at the empty tomb of Resurrection Sunday.
