Its contents are largely composed of a succession of events which do not readily fall into a climactic sequence. However, a roughly geographical organization of its contents is clear; therefore, after the introductory section, the material is geographically grouped—Galilee, Galilee and surrounding areas, journey to Jerusalem, and Jerusalem. The theme may be stated as “The Servant of Jehovah.” Coming of the Servant, Mark 1:1-13 Title of the book, Mark 1:1 Ministry of the baptist, Mark 1:2-8 Baptism of Jesus, Mark 1:9-11 Temptation by Satan, Mark 1:2-13 Ministry of the Servant, Mark 1:14-13:37 Ministry in Galilee, Mark 1:14-4:34 Summary of the preaching, Mark 1:14-15 Call to four fishermen, Mark 1:16-20 Ministry in Capernaum, Mark 1:21-34 Excitement in the synagogue, Mark 1:21-28 Healing of Peter's mother-in-law, Mark 1:29-31 Healing ministry at sundown, Mark 1:32-34 Tour of Galilee, Mark 1:35-45 Departure from Capernaum, Mark 1:35-39 Cleansing of a leper, Mark 1:40-45 (An Introduction to the New Testament - Hiebert) John MacArthur's Outline - Mark Introduction I.

Mark 1:1-13 serves as "prologue" much like the prologue in the Gospel of John (Jn 1:1-18) and gives us give us certain information about Jesus which enables us to understand the significance of the events that follow beginning in the heart of the Gospel Mark 1:19-13:37. Ralph Martin says it this way - The page of a modern book that first catches our interest is the title page. We want to know what the book is all about. Ancient books had no dust covers or words printed on the spine to arrest attention. So the first page—or even, as here in Mark 1:1, the first sentence—had to convey the writer’s main message. This is exactly what Mark’s opening verse is trying to do: to alert the reader to what is to follow. It is both his “table of contents” and title page brought together in a bold statement.
