[[Mark]] is generally believed to be the earliest [[gospel]].  Based upon common elements in Mark and the gospels of [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]] and [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]], it appears that Mark was used as the framework from which to expand.  There is a theory that Matthew was first, especially based on church tradition, but this theory does not have much popularity today.

The second [[Gospel]] is mainly concerned with the [[Galilean]] ministry of [[Christ]], and the circumstances during  the last week at [[Jerusalem]].  It begins with [[Christ| Jesus']] [[baptism]] and temptation. The main portion of the Gospel concerns the public ministry, [[Passion of Christ|Passion]], [[death]], and [[Resurrection]] of Jesus.

The Second Gospel uses 1333 different words, of which 58 are proper names. Eighty words, exclusive of proper names, are not found elsewhere in the New Testament. Compared to Luke, which has more than 250 peculiar words, Mark has only a third as many unique words. Mark shares 150 words with the other Synoptics. 15 are shared only by [[Gospel of John|John]]  and 11 others by one or other of the Synoptic '''and''' John.
