-
you just get the one young man
-
at the tomb telling the women that he's been raised.
-
A huge bulk of the book tells us
-
about the last week of Jesus' life,
-
and even in the previous ten chapters of the book
-
you have Jesus talking about his upcoming crucifixion.
-
These passion predictions, we call them,that occur in the Gospel,
-
you have several of those in the Gospel of Mark.
-
There are several references to Jesus' upcoming death.
-
That focuses our attention even more on the last part of the book.
-
Is that important? Does that tell us anything
-
about what sort of thing Mark's gospel is if it's not a biography?
