Three important ways in which Mark's Gospel portrays Jesus are:
- Racist. In chapter 7, he called Gentiles 'dogs' and only agreed to help a Gentile woman when she humbly accepted that description.
- Given to irrational anger, as when he cursed the fig tree for not bearing fruit out of season.
- Less than divine. He had some extraordinary powers and God called him his son, but Mark did not believe him to be one with God. For example:
6:5: And he (Jesus) could there do no mighty work.
10:18 Why call me good. There is none good but God.
These portrayals present a challenge for the reader conditioned to believe in Jesus as without sin, and fully divine and pre-existing.

How does Luke's portrayal of Jesus present a challenge for the reader?
Who was Jesus Christ? Mark: He was the Victorious King. Matthew and Luke: He was the Son of God. John: He was God himself. In the Four Gospels are presented three different perspectives on the same story of the Christ. In Mark he is represented as the coming King. In Matthew and Luke we have the story of the miraculous conception -- he is represented as the Son of God. In John he is declared to be God himself. "In the beginning was the Word [Christ], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (i, 1). Though all the Gospels point to the fact that Jesus was both fully God and fully man, each one does have a differing focus. Mark focuses on Christ's humanity; Matthew upon the fact that Jesus was the long awaited Hebrew Messiah; Luke upon the fact that Jesus was the Redeemer of all mankind; and finally John upon the fact that Jesus is the fully realized expression of who God is. Luke presents a Jesus who has come to die for the atonement of the whole human race. He points for example by taking the genealogy of Jesus all the way back to Adam and Eve instead of back to the Abrahamic or Davidic roots that were considered more relevant and popular at the time. However, because of the setting (Jewish culture and practices) into which Jesus comes the reader can get disoriented and lose sight of the fact that Jesus was humanity's savior not just the Jews.
