#### What is the Book of Mark about? #### #### What is the Book of Mark about? ####
The Gospel of Mark is one of four books in the New Testament that describe some of the life of Jesus Christ. The authors of the gospels wrote about different aspects of who Jesus was and what he did. Mark wrote a lot about Jesus suffering and his death on the cross. He did this to enourage his readers who were being persecuted in Rome. Mark also explained Jewish customs and some Aramaic words. This may indicate that Mark expected most of his first readers to be Gentiles. The Gospel of Mark is one of four books in the New Testament that describe some of the life of Jesus Christ.

Jews of Jesus' time did not use "Son of Man" as a title for anyone. Therefore, Jesus used it for himself to help them undestand who he truly was.
