So that's something that is unique about him as well. But I think one thing that people would be interested in knowing that in Mark chapter 6, Mark's gospel is the only one of the four gospels which Jesus calls, is called the son of Mary, the son of Mary. And so it's talking about, again, those first eight chapters, the identity of Jesus as the powerful Messiah, the son of the son of Mary.

And it also says in chapter six that he is called a carpenter. And that's where we get that from. While the gospel of Matthew states that he was the son of a carpenter.

Right, right. So that's an interesting part there. And there are a number of other things that make this gospel unique that people are going to run into. And that's kind of one of the challenges that I would encourage people to do is that as they read through it with you, to make note of the first half, the identity of Jesus. Just mark or underline, highlight, if you will, the identity of Jesus.

And then after that, to the end of the gospel, the mission of Jesus. So those are two things that people can really focus on. By the way, he's also the only one who identifies himself as the author.

Yeah, that's so funny you mention that, because when I read that years ago, I always thought it was reverse psychology. You know, you say, don't tell anybody about this, knowing they're going to open their mouth, you know.
