In Mark the power and authority of Jesus as the eternal Son of God is highlighted in various ways. Mark shows Jesus as having authority:
as a teacher in 1:22
over unclean spirits in 1:27 and 3:19-30
sin in 2:1-12
the Sabbath in 2:27-28 and 3:1-6
nature in 4:35-41 and 6:45-52
disease in 5:21-34
death in 5:35-43
legalistic tradition in 7:1-13 and 14-20
the temple in 11:15-18
Mark has little of Jesus' teaching and thus centre's on His actions, which to Mark demonstrate His identity as the Son of God, with the authority He demonstrates in the various areas above a witness to this fact. This stress on authority partly of course in Mark's appeal to his Roman audience, as is the stress on action and activity to back up the divine identity.
By quoting many prophesies of the coming of the messiah from the Old Testament and using these to point to the life of Jesus, Matthew tries, and very successfully, to persuade the reader that Jesus is the awaited Messiah.
(Matthew 16:16: "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."NIV)
Mark substantiates the Messianic claims of Jesus. The opening title of Mark's work, "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, Son of God."

According to Mark Jesus fed 5000 men. According to Matthew, Jesus fed 5000 men plus women and children. In other words, Matthew had a little more detail than Mark. Perhaps this lines up with his background. He was used to counting everything and everybody. Mark was also a briefer Gospel and he left a few incidentals out.
AnswerThe earliest of the New Testament gospels, now known as Mark's Gospel, did not include an account of the birth of Jesus. THese accounts were added by the authors of Matthew and Luke.The author of John knew Luke's account of the birth of Jesus, but did not include it in his gospel. In fact, he suggests that he did not even believe that Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
Since scholars say that the Mark mentioned in the epistles was not really the author of the Gospel later attributed to him, there are two 'Marks' and therefore two answers to this question.1 Peter 5:13 says that Mark, presumably the same Mark as mentioned by Paul, was the author's son. If the author of this epistle was really the disciple Peter, we could say that there was a good chance of Mark having met Jesus, perhaps as a young child. However, scholars say that the epistle now known as 1 Peter was written pseudonymously and not really by Peter. There is no reason to believe that Mark, Paul's "fellow-labourer", had really met Jesus personally.The Gospel According to Mark was originally written anonymously and only attributed to Mark by Papias, bishop of Hieropolis in Asia Minor, around 130 CE. For convenience, scholars continue to call this anonymous author 'Mark', but the evidence of the Gospel itself is that 'Mark' never met Jesus.
The gospel according to Mark is independent of the gospel according to Thomas. The Gospel according to Mark is the second of the four found in the New Testament. This gospel relates the story and experiences in the life of Jesus Christ. The Gospel according to Thomas is described by many scholars as being a tribute to oral tradition. Instead of containing information about the actual life of Jesus Christ, it is said to be an actual account of Jesusâ??s own words and teachings.
