Mark opens, “The beginning of the gospel
Of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.”
The reader knows who Jesus is from the beginning.
God from heaven declares Jesus his Son ten verses later.
We watch for anyone else to clue in.
Jesus calls himself only the Son of man.
Unclean spirits recognize him and fall down before him.
The Transfiguration: God again speaks: My beloved Son.
The high priest asks if he is the Christ,
The Son of the Blessed. Jesus says plainly, I am.
Jesus dies. The Roman centurion says, “Truly,
This man was the Son of God.”
The demons and the Roman get it right.
