In Mark's Gospel, Jesus almost always requests those whom he cures not to tell others of him. He even demands that demons do not say who he is. It is as if he spent his entire mission preaching and curing, but did not want to be remembered.

What New Testament book relies on the most Old Testament books?

Matthew's Gospel contains more refereences to the Old Testament than any other New Testament book.

He wanted his Gospel to be seen as the successor to the Hebrew scriptures.


Why is the Old Testament not relevant?

Christianity was founded in the Jewish religion and modern Christians do consider the Old Testament as quite relevant, even if it became less important after the development of the New Testament. Even to atheists and followers of other religions, the Old Testament is relevant purely because of its historical significance.Some early Christians, on the other hand, considered the Old Testament as of little or no relevance. The Marcionites excluded the Old Testament and much of what is now the New Testament, keeping only a gospel, called simply the Gospel or the Gospel of the Lord, plus ten epistles attributed to Paul. They believed that their gospel had been written by Paul himself, but it actually seems to have been Luke's Gospel with references to the Old Testament removed.
