Comparing the Gospels of Mark and John – S6 CRE Paper 2 Notes

These teacher-prepared notes for Senior 6 Christian Religious Education (Division 2) compare the Gospels of Mark and John in point form. They list similarities and differences between the two gospels, such as how each presents the messiahship of Jesus, the order of events, the use of parables and signs, and the crucifixion and burial accounts. Further sections cover the disciples' lack of understanding in each gospel and the ways both gospels are said to fulfil Old Testament scriptures. They also explain the sources of conflict between Jesus and the Pharisees and compare the two accounts of the cleansing of the temple. The notes are useful for A-level revision and essay preparation.
