Perhaps fifteen years later, Matthew's Gospel could use the term Son of God quite freely and sarcasm was no longer necessary in the centurion's statement when Jesus died.

What is significant about the centurion's proclamation when Jesus died?
A:The centurion is said to have exclaimed, "Truly this man was the Son of God," although perhaps sarcastically, when Jesus died (Mark 15:39). In Mark's Gospel, Jesus referred to himself as the Son of Man, and Peter called him the Christ ('anointed one'). To have called Jesus the Son of God might have been considered blasphemous when Mark was written, but the demons and the centurion, as outsiders, could call do so because their statements would not bring the Christian community into disrepute. Perhaps fifteen years later, Matthew's Gospel could use the term Son of God quite freely and sarcasm was no longer evident in the centurion's statement.

What is the Literary genre in Book of Mark?
Mark's Gospel was the first of a new genre, the narrative gospel.Mark's Gospel is also thought by some to use an ancient Greek literary style known as mimesis. This would arguably place it in a genre of epic adventures.
Is there a gospel of Paul?
A:There is no Gospel of Paul, but there is evidence that Mark's Gospel did use come material out of Paul's Epistles to the Galatians and the Corinthians. There is also evidence found in Luke's Gospel of borrowing from Paul's epistles.
Who was involved in the Gospel of Mark?
We do not know who actually wrote Mark's Gospel, although the second-century Church Fathers attributed the Gospel to Paul's companion Mark. What we do know is that he was a brilliant author, skilled in the use of Greek rhetoric and with an excellent knowledge of the Greek classics and Hebrew scriptures. Rhoads, Dewey and Michie (Mark as Story) say that this gospel was written to be read out loud by skilled narrators to an 'ideal' audience. They believe the Gospel, properly performed by a narrator, had a dramatic effect on the audience.
Who wrote St Mark's Gospel?
Mark the Evangelist is the traditional author of the Gospel of Mark.Another AnswerThe writer of the Gospel of Mark is deemed normally to be the man known in the New Testament as John Mark. This is the person referred to in the verse below:Acts 12:25 (King James Version): And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.Apart from the fact that there is no evidence which contradicts the Markan authorship, there is also concrete positive concrete evidence from external sources supporting it. Papias indicates that Mark got much of his information from the disciple Peter, although he certainly used other sources. The Aramaic coloring of some of Mark's work demonstrates his Jewish background. Others have suggested he also made use of what is referred to as 'Aramaic Matthew', the first Gospel of Matthew, written in Aramaic which is now lost. Whatever were his sources, there is no reason to doubt the attribution to him.Answer from Wikipedia"The gospel itself is anonymous."
What is known about the author of Mark's Gospel?
Mark's Gospel was originally anonymous, but in the second century was attributed by Papias to the apostle Mark. Mark was a companion of the apostle Paul, supposedly a relative of Barnabas and, according to the pseudepigraphical epistle 1 Peter, the son of Peter. However, biblical scholars say it is unlikely that Mark was the author of the Gospel that now bears his name.Mark's Gospel was written in Greek Koine, suggesting that he was a native of the Middle East, in spite of traditions that he was Libyan or even Jewish. He wrote the Gospel in a poor grammatical style, which on the face of it would suggest that he was not well educated, but there are good grounds for believing that this was a pretence and that he was, in fact, a master of Greek rhetoric. He seems to have known at least some Latin, but appears to have been out of his depth on Palestinian geography and Jewish culture. The parallel and chiastic structures in Mark and the use of mimesis and other devices suggest a writer of considerable genius.Scholars say that Mark's Gospel was written approximately 70 CE, so all we can say in terms of the author's birth and death is that he was alive around that year.
What name did Matthew use before Jesus renamed him?
A:The original New Testament gospel, now known as Mark's Gospel, refers to Levi, son of Alphaeus, as a tax collector. However, for some reason, Mark never again refers to Levi, but introduces other disciples, including Matthew (verse 3:18) and James, son of Alphaeus. The implication is that Levi just disappeared after being called to follow Jesus, unless one of the twelve disciples listed in Mark 3:16-19 must be another name for Levi. Matthew's Gospel, which is now known to have been based on Mark, resolves this by never referring to Levi, speaking instead of the disciple and former tax collector as Matthew. As Matthew's Gospel is derivative, the author must have found a clue in Mark that he believed pointed to Levi and Matthew as the same person, yet no such clue seems to exist. It would even seem more likely that Levi, son of Alphaeus, and James, son of Alphaeus, could be the same person. At the very least they appear to have the same father. Luke's Gospel, in copying from Mark, retains Levi as the tax collector in the parallel passage.Matthew's Gospel does not equate Matthew with Levi, but simply replaces Levi by Matthew. Because of this decision by its author, most modern Christians assume that Levi was another name for Matthew.
Why is Mark's Gospel account better than Matthew's?
A:Scholars tell us that Matthew's Gospel was actually copied in large part from Mark's Gospel. Whenever the two gospels agree, they use almost exactly the same words in the Greek language, something that could not happen if the two authors were simply relying on a common oral tradition or even Aramaic source. Being the original gospel, Mark ought to be more historically accurate than Matthew or any other gospel.
Who is The audience in Luke's gospel?
This was the earliest New Testament gospel and was written for people familiar with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. The use of mimesis flags suggests the possibility that he sought to keep outsiders in the dark as to what Christians really believed. This is parallelled by Chapter 4, where he talks of Jesus speaking in parables so that others would not understand.So it may be that there were really two audiences for Mark's Gospel - outsiders such as the Romans and the Jewish religious leaders, and the Christian converts who would really understand what the Gospel was meant to say. In Mark's Gospel, only outsiders such as demons and the high priest refer to Jesus as 'Son of God', suggesting a level of caution was needed.
