Not Another Jew Story Everyone has their own conception of Jesus‚ what he was‚ what he did‚ and why he did it‚ yet these conceptions are often different than the one depicted by the earliest written account of Jesus’ life‚ “The Gospel of Mark.” The Jesus in Mark has one main purpose‚ to forgive humans’ sins through his teachings.
