The Gospel of Mark narrates the preaching of Jesus from his baptism by John the Baptist to his death and burial and the miracle of the empty tomb. It describes Jesus as a nobleman of performing healing, teaching, and miracles throughout his life. Listed below are some of the unique aspects from the Mark in the Bible:
Solely Mark gives healing commands of Jesus in the Aramaic: Talitha koum (Mark 5:41), Ephphatha (Mark 7:34)
Mark is the only location in the New Testament Jesus is mentioned to as "the son of Mary" (Mark 6:3)
Mark is the only gospel where Jesus is described as a carpenter (Mark 6:3); in Matthew, he is noted as a carpenter's son (Matthew 13:55).
