MarkThe Passion According to Mark

The Gospel of Mark was probably the first gospel to be written so we will begin with his passion story. Like his gospel as a whole, Mark's passion narrative is lean and taut, moving swiftly and in a haunting fashion from the events of the last supper to Jesus' death and burial.
