Mark

Jesus' ministry began with his baptism by John the Baptist and his temptation in the wilderness. He then preached the gospel of the kingdom of God, calling his first disciples and performing various miracles, including healing a paralytic man, a man with a withered hand, and a blind man. Jesus also taught using parables, such as the parable of the sower, and explained that true defilement comes from within, not from external actions. He fed large crowds of people with minimal food, walked on water, and healed many others, including a Syrophenician woman's daughter and a deaf and mute man. Jesus predicted his own death and resurrection, and taught his disciples about the importance of humility and service. He was eventually betrayed by Judas, arrested, and crucified, but after his death, he was buried and then rose from the dead on the third day, appearing to his disciples and commissioning them to preach the gospel to all creatures.
