    "May I beg you to read Mark's work again… let the strong lines of this narrative build up for you, as they did for me, a vigorous portrait of the One who is matchless Man. When you see for yourself the stature and quality of that Man, it will not seem to you nearly so difficult to accept what Christians have always accepted - that the Son of Man was also the Son of God". - J.B. Phillips, Plain Christianity (p.78)   “I find no trace at all in Mark's Gospel of ‘gentle Jesus meek and mild'! I find instead a most powerful Figure who moves with confidence, cheerfulness and courage. He is a Man plainly in touch with the unseen world and plainly conscious that, though  fully human, He speaks with the authority of God Himself…" (p.71)   "The Man who moves with such confidence in the pages of Mark's story is plainly One to whom the resources of God are always available." (p.74)
