The Gospel of Mark is the shortest of the four gospel accounts and was written to declare that Jesus is both the Messiah and the Son of God. He performed numerous miracles that demonstrated His power and authority and He "gave His life as a ransom for many." Its author was likely John Mark who recorded what the Apostle Peter could remember about the life of Jesus.
