Do not fill this in! ===Mark=== Matthew is a creative reinterpretation of Mark,{{sfn|Beaton|2005|p=117}} stressing Jesus's teachings as much as his acts,{{sfn|Morris|1986|p=114}} and making subtle changes in order to stress his divine nature: for example, Mark's "young man" who appears at Jesus's tomb becomes "a radiant angel" in Matthew.{{sfn|Beaton|2005|p=123}} The miracle stories in Mark do not demonstrate the divinity of Jesus, but rather confirm his status as an emissary of God (which was Mark's understanding of the Messiah).{{sfn|Aune|1987|p=59}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
