The Gospel of Mark[a] is the second of the four canonical Gospels and one of the three synoptic Gospels. It tells of the ministry of Jesus from his baptism by John the Baptist to his death, the burial of his body, and the discovery of his empty tomb. It portrays Jesus as a teacher, an exorcist, a healer, and a miracle worker, though it does not mention a miraculous birth or divine pre-existence.[3] Jesus refers to himself as the Son of Man. He is called the Son of God but keeps his messianic nature secret; even his disciples fail to understand him.[4] All this is in keeping with the Christian interpretation of prophecy, which is believed to foretell the fate of the messiah as a suffering servant.[5]
Traditionally attributed to Mark the Evangelist, the companion of the Apostle Peter,[6] the gospel is anonymous,[7] and scholarship is inconclusive on its authorship.[8] It is dated to around 70 AD [9] and was likely written in Rome for a gentile audience.[10] Mark is classified as an ancient biography and was meant to strengthen the faith of its readers.[11] The hypothesis of Marcan priority is held by the majority of scholars today, and as the earliest of the four gospels, it was used as a source by both Matthew and Luke, whose similarities to one another have led to the study of what is termed the Synoptic Problem.[12]
