“And immediately” (Greek: “\u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03b5\u1f50\u03b8\u03ad\u03c9\u03c2, kai euthe\u00f3s<\/em>“) is a recurring phrase throughout the gospel of Mark. The phrase moves the story along with an intensity unique among the gospels. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
– Luke (The Man) – Christ is human. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

– Mark (The Ox) – Christ is Servant. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Written in the present tense, the gospel of Mark presents Jesus as a man of action, doing everything “immediately.” If the gospels were presented in movie form, the gospel of Mark would be an action film! <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
