Mark starts when John the Baptist meets Jesus, John believes himself to be unworthy of Jesus and has a humble existence eating only what he finds in the desert (locusts and wild honey). This time when Jesus is baptised the dramatic appearance of a dove and a booming voice drives him into the wilderness for 40 days.

No details about what 'temptations' Satan offered that Jesus endured, he hung out with wild animals and was looked after by angels (so can't have been too bad out there).

Jesus starts collecting disciples, driving out demons and healing people. He doesn't let the demons speak because they'll reveal who he is before he's can explain everything himself.

Jesus tries to avoid the mobs of people by sticking to remote areas but they find him anyway.

Jesus says he is mixing with sinners (and tax collectors) because a physician wouldn't be needed by a healthy person and therefore the righteous don't need Jesus.

Jesus' family think he is out of his mind and try to arrest him, and that leads to the same accusation as in Matthew, that he must be possessed by Beezelbub (I still think Jesus is wrong that Satan wouldn't work against his own in order to convince people to follow him), and now it makes sense why he would disown his own family, they did just accuse him of being out of his mind.
