The reason for this focus in Mark would be that the author did not know anything about the birth or childhood of Jesus, nor anything about his post-resurrection appearances. Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) says that the nativity accounts in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke are, with respect to time, place, and circumstances, a "collection of legends." So Mark knew nothing of the birth of Jesus, because those stories had not yet been written. He knew nothing of the wedding story in which Jesus turns water into wine, because that story had not yet been written.

What was St Mark's focus?
Mark's Gospel focuses on Christ's divine powers. He highlights the power and authority of Jesus as the son of God. He is presented as Lord of the Sabbath and Lord over Satan, diseases, sin, legalism, and death itself. Much of the Gospel centers on the last week of Jesus' ministry before the crucifixion.
What was Jesus of Nazareth's occupation prior to his public ministry?
In the nation of Israel, Jewish father's generally taught their trade to their sons. Joseph was a carpenter (Matthew 13:55) and so was Jesus (Mark 6:3), undoubtedly learning it from his father.
What did Mark explain to the Romans in his Gospel?
Mark's intent is to convince Romans of the mission and deity of Jesus. The Roman mind would have been impressed by Jesus' power and the things He did so Mark concentrates on the miraculous ministry of Jesus. Mark gives details about geography and customs of the time
Is Mark an Epistle?
Yes, the book of Mark is one of the four Gospels in the New Testament of the Bible which narrates the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is not an Epistle but a narrative of Jesus' teachings and actions.
Did Jesus build tables?
Mark calls Jesus a carpenter, although Matthew, perhaps in deference, was reluctant to call Jesus a village carpenter and referred to him as "the carpenter's son". The other gospels do not refer to Jesus either as a carpenter or even as a carpenter's son. If Mark is correct, and Jesus was a carpenter, then he would have made tables.
According to the Gospel of Mark, how does the concept of Jesus as the suffering servant play a role in his ministry and teachings"?
In the Gospel of Mark, the concept of Jesus as the suffering servant is central to his ministry and teachings. Jesus portrays himself as a servant who suffers for the sake of others, emphasizing humility, sacrifice, and redemption through his own suffering and death. This idea underscores the importance of selflessness and service to others in the Christian faith.
What are the outstanding event connections in the book of Mark and John the Baptist in the Bible?
In the Gospel of Mark, John the Baptist is introduced as the forerunner to Jesus, fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah by preparing the way for the Messiah. He baptizes Jesus in the Jordan River, marking the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry and signaling the arrival of the Kingdom of God. John's call for repentance and his baptizing of Jesus highlight the themes of transformation and divine authority that run throughout Mark. Additionally, both the baptism and John's subsequent imprisonment set the stage for Jesus' teachings and miracles, emphasizing the continuity of their missions.
