In the modern sense of the term, a biography tells about what a particular person was like over the course of their existence on earth (Professor Dale B. Martin, “Lecture 6 - The Gospel of Mark,” 2009: http://oyc.yale.edu/religious-studies/rlst-152/lecture-6). The gospels of Mark; however, only tells about what Jesus did as an adult, thus it is not considered a biography. Mark does not give any information regarding Jesus’ birth, such as Luke and Matthew, how he was raised, or any other information leading to the understanding of how he became notable, as a modern biography would. The gospel of mark reveals several actions that Jesus did as an adult, such as performing miracles, healings, and other divine activities. This is not an account
