Marks tools
Mark makes it plain that he intends to convince us that Jesus is the Son of God.
- Mr 1:1 ¶ The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
'Gospel' just means 'good news', and Mark considers it good news that God's Son walked among us.
Remember that Mark reads the Bible like Jesus did, and Jesus thought he was the Son of God.
Direct reference to prophecy
Mark's first tool is to reference prophecy that people would be familiar with. The lack of a direct citation is evidence he expected people to be familiar with it without having to look it up.
- Mr 1:2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
- Mr 1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Mr 1:2 references Mal 3:1. And later Malachi identifies the messenger as Elijah (Mal 4:5). Mark references this with the costume
