The Gospel of Mark is the most corroborated testimony in all of Scriptures, as the independent eyewitness Matthew incorporated nearly all of it into his Gospel of Matthew.
The '''Gospel of Mark''' is a bold and irreverent account by an outsider, an anti-[[Establishment]] and even [[Trump]]ian-style eyewitness. It contains a direct, easy-to-understand explanation of the teachings, miracles, and [[Passion]] of [[Jesus]], emphasizing [[faith]] and deeds. It was written by [[Mark]], seeing the events as an impressionable, open-minded young boy, who subsequently was the first to publish, perhaps without authorization. The Gospel of Mark begins and ends abruptly, makes no mention of [[St. Joseph|Joseph]], and omits the post-[[Resurrection]] gatherings by [[the Apostles]] who met without him, such that it is placed second rather than in its first place chronologically.<ref>"Marcan priority" is the term used to describe the nearly universal acceptance today that the Gospel of Mark was the first chronologically among [[the Gospels]].</ref>

'''''The Gospel of Mark is the most corroborated testimony in all of [[Scriptures]], as the independent eyewitness [[Matthew]] incorporated nearly all of it into his [[Gospel of Matthew]]'''''.
The Gospel of Mark is [[Trump]]-like in its blunt, down-to-earth style critical of the elite and their practices:
*only the Gospel of Mark begins by boldly declaring, Trump-like in style, that it is "the gospel of [[Jesus Christ]], the Son of [[God]]";<ref>{{bibleref|Mark|1|1|ver=ESV}} ([[ESV]]).</ref>

*the Gospel of Mark portrays the disparagement as regional in Jesus's reference to a Greek woman's daughter as a "dog" (better translated as "puppy") in {{bible ref|Mark|7|24-30}}, while the subsequent [[Gospel of Matthew]] retells the same story with an anti-[[Gentile]] ethnic connotation in {{bible ref|Matthew|15|21-28}};
