this Gospel uses the "Markan sandwich'' style whereby a narrative is described in the middle of another narrative, but the best and simplest explanation for this is that Mark described events as they occurred, with interruptions as they do occur i

Line 6: Line 6:

*early in [[Paul]]'s ministry, not long after the [[Resurrection]], he quoted from the [[Gospel of Mark]] concerning "the sandals of whose feet I <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[John the Baptist]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> am not worthy to untie" {{bibleref|Acts|13|25}} ([[ESV]]) (taken from {{bibleref|Mark|1|7}})

*the verb tenses in this Gospel are often in the present, as a daily log or diary would be rather than a historical account, and many translations convert to the past tense while others consider this a proper use of the historical present;<ref>A comparison of the translations in the past versus present tense is here: [https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Mark%201%3A12].</ref>

*this Gospel uses the "[[Markan sandwich]]'' style whereby a narrative is described in the middle of another narrative, but the best and simplest explanation for this is that [[Mark]] described events as they occurred, with interruptions as they do occur in daily life while a retrospect account many years later would separate the narratives;

*the [[Gospel of Mark]], without the [[Mark ending]] apparently added later, omits subsequent events after the [[Resurrection]], implying that it was finalized with the Resurrection;

*the Gospel of Mark is concise and to-the-point, almost like notes, while a later work would have been (and was) more verbose;
