One thing about Matthew and Mark that I didn’t quite understand is that the disciples and the people keep questioning Jesus. I really don’t get this because after everything he has done even his own “students” question him and like mentioned in Matthew they think he is a ghost, which from my point of view is very offensive.
Mark makes a great emphasize in gathering crowds of people and preaching to them, also teach them new things. They also keep mentioning that Jesus has an “issue” with rich people or people who have money. They even mention that rich people will have trouble entering the Kingdom of God.
A part they pint out a lot is when Jesus goes to the Gethsemane garden to pray. He goes with three of his disciples but they keep falling asleep and Jesus waked them up each time because he was really scared. This shows a very human side of Jesus because he is scared and he just wants to avoid everything that is coming. He is showing us that he also has fears and wants someone to be by his side.
It was till this Gospel I noticed that Mary was the only person that stood by Jesus’ side through the entire journey. She was the only one, not even Joseph, actually you never ever hear from Joseph again in the whole Jesus story.

You are making good insights. I particularly like the Jesus scared analysis. You could use some more text to prove your points.
