Jesus is never portrayed as an apocalyptic prophet in any writings of biblical text
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Immanuel means "God with us"
Christ will provide you with detailed prophecy concerning the end of this 2nd of 3 earth iterations (2nd Peter 3). Those are given in Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 and the book of Revelation. It should be interesting that the book of Revelation is an expanded version of the final chapters of the book of Daniel 8,11, 7 (in that order).

P . Herod thinks that Jesus is John the Baptist risen from the dead (6:14)
Q . Herodias and her daughter conspire to kill John the Baptist (6:16-29)
R . Feeding the thousands, and related miracles and discourses (6:33-8:21)

What is the gospel message of Christ in Mark's gospel?
Jesus is portrayed as an apocalyptic prophet. If we take Mark's account seriously, Jesus would be a monumental failure, or at least whoever wrote Mark would have been a monumental failure. The evidence that Jesus was an apocalyptic prophet is that Mark begins with John the Baptist, who taught a very similar message of an ending world soon to come. Furthermore, some of Jesus' teachings really only sound moral in the context of a world that is close to an end. And lastly, the Coming of the Son of Man is a major theme in Mark, Matthew, and Luke.

What are some of the strengths of Simon Peter?
In the gospel accounts, especially the earliest gospel, the Gospel of Mark, it is difficult to find any strengths of Simon Peter. He is portrayed as impetuous and constantly unable to understand, and his faith is inadequate. Despite his strongest assertion that even if he had to die with Jesus he would never deny him, Peter deserted Jesus and later denied Jesus three times. Nevertheless, Matthew's Gospel has Peter finally emerge as the pre-eminent leader of the twelve, cast as the disciple Jesus selected to carry on his work. In Acts of the Apostles, Peter is represented quite differently. Here he is portrayed as a great leader, orator, miracle worker and intermediary to God, in many ways an equal to Jesus.
What kind of person was Jesus in the Gospel of John?
The Gospel of John portrayed Jesus as fully divine and pre-existing, in contrast to the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), wherein he was the Son of God. however, the question asks the portrayal of Jesus as a person and thus as a human.In John's Gospel, many of Jesus' friends were the rich and powerful, and Jesus reserved his best miracles for his rich and powerful friends.Mark has Jesus wish to remain anonymous as far as possible, with Jesus even commanding those he helped to tell no one about him, and Matthew and Luke followed this theme to a lesser extent. However, John's Gospel says that Jesus was quite open about who he was. John moved the episode of the Cleansing of the Temple from the very end of the gospel, where it was the event that forced the priests to decide to get rid of Jesus, to the beginning of the gospel, where it served to ensure that everyone knew of Jesus from the beginning of his mission.Perhaps even more than in the other gospels, the Jesus of John's Gospel was a charismatic preacher.
