Mark is the s___est, f__test, least chr_______al of all the Gospels. The other Gospel with the most similar viewpoints of the events is _______.
The sayings in this passage are all around a particular theme:

- Can you give a testimony of something you have ever 'cut off' in order to avoid a spiritual or lifestyle 'stumble'?
