The Gospel of Mark -
  Note: The Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) are very similar accounts. Most events are considered in the Book Notes on Matthew.
  Therefore, the commentary (in the Book Notes) on Mark and Luke is limited to passages which do not appear in Matthew.
  See How to use the Book Notes on Mark & Luke.
