I read the book of Mark annually when going through the Bible with my Sunday school class but I’ve never done a deep review or study of this book. For me Mark has always seemed a little less organized then Matthew. Mark provides an excellent resource of for information of the things that Jesus said during his time on earth but for me I generally reference the other gospels more frequently then the book of Mark.

Matthew provides the information clearer to me and more in chronological order that Mark. For me Matthew’s writing about Jesus is easier to follow.
I do like the fact that Mark provides more information about John the Baptist and the purpose for his
