AB Jesus Christ directly commanded the early church to carry the Gospel to other places. Literature on mission has focused largely on its role in Matthew, Luke-Acts, and John, with little attention paid to Mark and its contribution to Jesus’s mandate for mission. I examine Mark’s gospel to discover insights regarding how Jesus carried out his mission, discussing (1) Mark’s soteriological, cultural, and ecclesiological interpretations of mission; (2) the text’s approaches to mission as kērygma, diakonia, and koinōnia; and (3) its view of missions as both centrifugal and centripetal.
