A:
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 should not be thought of as the only ways in which Mark portrays Jesus, but they are important to our understanding of Mark's Gospel.

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.

Do the other three gospels agree with John's Gospel over details in the life of Jesus?
A:Not closely. The Gospels of Matthew and Luke agree moderately well with Mark's Gospel because they were based largely on that original gospel. However, John's Gospel was only loosely based on Luke's Gospel and the anonymous author made numerous changes to events portrayed in Luke. For example, the other three gospels, known as the synoptic gospels, have the Cleasing of the Temple episode at the end of the mission of Jesus, as the trigger for his arrest. Since Johnuses the miraculous resurrection of Lazarus as the trigger for his arrest (John 12:19: "The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. "), it moves the Cleansing of the Temple to the beginning of the mission of Jesus. Some say that there must have been two identical episodes in which Jesus overturned the tables of the moneychangers and said they had made his father's Temple like a den of thieves, but this is illogical.The synoptic gospels say that the Last Supper was the Passover feast and that Jesus was crucified after the Passover feast, but John says that Jesus was crucified at the time of preparation for the Passover feast and likens him to the sacrificial lamb.Luke's Gospel has the risen Jesus appear to the disciples at a meal in Jerusalem, before taking them out to Bethany, where he ascended into heaven. John's Gospel adds a second appearance at a meal in Jerusalem, to portray 'Doubting Thomas' absent at the first and so missing out on receiving the Holy Spirit when Jesus breathed on the others.
