Only the Gospel of John depicts Jesus as the divine Son of God, while the other Gospels present Him merely as a righteous servant and prophet.

Muslim apologists assert that the Gospel of John is unique in portraying Jesus as the divine Son of God, suggesting that the earlier Gospels do not attribute such divinity to Him. However, a closer examination of Mark's Gospel reveals that it begins with a clear declaration of Jesus' divine sonship, stating, 'The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God' (Mark 1:1). This introduction sets the tone for the entire Gospel, indicating that Mark presents Jesus not merely as a prophet but as the divine Son of God. Furthermore, Mark's narrative includes the account of Jesus' baptism, where a voice from heaven declares, 'You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased' (Mark 1:11). This affirmation from God underscores Jesus' unique relationship with the Father, reinforcing His divine status. Additionally, Mark connects Jesus' ministry to Old Testament prophecies that speak of Yahweh coming to His temple, indicating that Jesus fulfills these divine roles. By establishing that Mark's Gospel presents Jesus as fully divine, it becomes evident that the claim that earlier Gospels do not depict Christ as the divine Son of God is unfounded. The portrayal of Jesus in Mark aligns with the understanding of His divine nature, thus challenging the assertion made by Muslim apologists.
