Mark - quickly giving powerful examples of who Jesus is

Mark is a gospel written principally to the Gentiles and quickly tells who Jesus is and what he did. It's the shortest of the gospels and probably the first written.

Notice how much he tells about Jesus in the very first chapter:

1) John the Baptist prepared the way for jesus by preaching about him

2) Jesus was baptized

3) Called several Apostles

4) Taught in synagogues and impressed many by his doctrine, which was spoken with authority

5) Cast out devils

6) healed those with fevers and lepers

7) Fame spread throughout the land and many came to him

Mark didn't waste time in explaining how impressive Jesus is.
