Garland points to two possibilities as to why Mark’s Gospel is written in a narrative style or form. Garland believes the Gospel of Mark either came from an oral story circulating in the Jerusalem church or it came from a firsthand account of the Apostle Peter. Some bible scholars point to the idea that the Gospel of Mark was narrativized, so it could be heard rather than be read silently.

or message that is told in another verse, but the context or delivery of the story or message differs from each other, because the authors want to convey a different message in each scene. An example of an event conveyed in two different verses is Mark 6:45–52 and Matthew 14:22–33. Both verses recall the events of The Walking on the Water.

The Aeneid and The Gospel of Mark Mahad Sheikh Vergil and Mark are the respective authors of the The Aeneid and The Gospel of Mark. Both share the theme of what defines a good leader.
