“ In it Jesus is seen as the mighty Worker, rather than as the unique Teacher. It is the Gospel of Jehovah's "Servant the Branch" Zechariah 3:8 as Matthew is the Gospel of the "Branch...unto David" Jeremiah 33:15.
Everywhere the servant character of the incarnate Son is manifest. The key verse is Mark 10:45. "For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister." The characteristic word is "straightway," a servant's word. There is no genealogy, for who gives the genealogy of a servant? The distinctive character of Christ in Mark is that set forth in Philippians 2:6-8. ”

“ Isaiah 9:6 as Mark distinctly declares (Mark 1:1) and therefore mighty works accompanied and authenticated His ministry. As befits a Servant-Gospel, Mark is characteristically a Gospel of deeds, rather than on words.
The best preparation of the heart for the study of Mark is the prayerful reading of Isaiah 42:1-21; 50:4-11, 52:13-53:12; Zechariah 3:8; Philippians 2:5-8.
Mark is in five principal divisions:
The manifestation of the Servant-Son, 1:1-11. The Servant-Son tested as to His fidelity, 1:12,13. The Servant-Son at work, 1:14-13:37. The Servant-Son "obedient unto death," 14:1-15:47. ”

“ Verse 45 Master
Never once in the Gospel record does Judas Iscariot call Jesus "Lord." He was the first Arian amongst the professed followers of Jesus. No one can in reality say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Ghost, 1 Corinthians 12:3 but it is possible to use the term as an empty formality without believing the Lordship of Christ; Matthew 7:21; 25:11,12.
Verse 53 And they led
