Did Mark know Jesus personally?
Since scholars say that the Mark mentioned in the epistles was not really the author of the Gospel later attributed to him, there are two 'Marks' and therefore two answers to this question.1 Peter 5:13 says that Mark, presumably the same Mark as mentioned by Paul, was the author's son. If the author of this epistle was really the disciple Peter, we could say that there was a good chance of Mark having met Jesus, perhaps as a young child. However, scholars say that the epistle now known as 1 Peter was written pseudonymously and not really by Peter. There is no reason to believe that Mark, Paul's "fellow-labourer", had really met Jesus personally.The Gospel According to Mark was originally written anonymously and only attributed to Mark by Papias, bishop of Hieropolis in Asia Minor, around 130 CE. For convenience, scholars continue to call this anonymous author 'Mark', but the evidence of the Gospel itself is that 'Mark' never met Jesus.

Why did Mark portray the disciples of Jesus as not understanding who he really was?
Mark frequently stressed that Jesus instructed witnesses to his miracles to keep his true identity a secret. The demons always seemed to know who he really was, but not his disciples.Dennis R MacDonald (The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark) recently argued that this was the result of Homeric influence, with Jesus a counterpart to Odysseus, who also had to keep his identity secret. This is an interesting theory, but not yet widely accepted by scholars (assuming it ever will be).Another possible reason could be that Mark needed to show why few people had ever heard of Jesus at the time he wrote his Gospel, even though Mark described so many great wonders and miracles Jesus performed in the recent past.

What are the three ways Jesus is portrayed in Mark's Gospel?
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.
