Analysis of the Gospel of Mark by Harold St. John

Who but the Lord Himself would think of giving John Mark the young servant who went home in disgrace-the high privilege of painting this portrait of God's Perfect Servant Perhaps it was this that stirred Mark to become a servant, as Paul would later commend him. We also need encouragement in our service for the Lord and, by helping us understand this Gospel, the author has done us a great service. After giving a helpful and detailed outline, brief and thought-provoking comments are given on each of the 100 paragraphs of the Gospel narrative. Difficult points are discussed and the reader is encouraged to form his own conclusions.
