Lessons learned from retranslated Gospel of Mark include:

nearly all English translations omit the disparaging reference to gambling, by calling it the archaic "casting lots"
nearly all English translations refer to wine in a favorable way, when it could be translated as grape juice

the original Gospel of Mark has an intriguing ending where the women told no "man" of what they found at the empty tomb after the Resurrection
the withering of the fig tree is recounted in a dramatic, captivating way
the Multiplication of the loaves is recounted twice in a dramatic manner
reinforcing the likelihood that Salome was the mother of Mark, he explains that Salome's group purchased spices for Jesus in Mark 16:1
Mark artfully explains how faith can cause action at Mark 11:23: "that man's words will become true," providing a glimpse similar to the Ontological argument to prove the existence of God.
