The Gospel of Mark

I find an interest in this article that discusses the contextual and atomistical difference in Mark’s account of Jesus’ tirade in the Temple as well as the meaning of this tirade [1]. This story has always been a frequently taught story from the New Testament. The interesting aspect of this article’s discussion about Mark’s account of Jesus is that the way Jesus is represented in this book of the Bible is different than we see him elsewhere—more emotional and acting out in a way that Jesus is most often portrayed suppressing in other books.
