Suddenly! Just Then! At Once! The Gospel of Mark is the shortest gospel in the New Testament. It is also the most active. John uses a literary device like some fiction writers use to keep the action moving. I said "LIKE". We know the book of Mark isn't fiction, but he is trying to show how Jesus was a man who did miracles. There is a greek phrase that is in this gospel more than any others. The transliteration of it is: KAI EUTHUS (hint, a transliteration is bringing the phonetical sound of the original word into the speakers language, making it possible for them to sound it out. Here's all the places where it shows up: Matt. 3:3, 16; 13:20–21; 14:27; 21:3; Mark 1:3, 10, 12, 18, 20–21, 28–30, 42–43; 2:8, 12; 3:6; 4:5, 15–17; 5:2, 29–30, 42; 6:25, 27, 45, 50, 54; 7:25; 8:10; 9:20, 24; 10:52; 11:2–3; 14:43, 45, 72–15:1; Luke 3:4–5; 6:49; John 13:30, 32; 19:34; Acts 8:21; 9:11; 10:16; 13:10; 2 Pet. 2:15. What's the point? Jesus came preaching about the kingdom of God with intention and activity. He is still alive and active in the world for all who believe.
