The Modern American Bible: Mark (1899) is a book written by Frank Schell Ballentine. It is a modern translation of the Gospel of Mark, one of the four canonical gospels in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The book was first published in 1899 and is considered a classic of American Biblical scholarship. The translation is written in modern American English and is intended to be accessible to contemporary readers. Ballentine sought to capture the spirit and meaning of the original text while also making it relevant to the concerns and issues of his own time.

It tells the story of Jesus of Nazareth, his teachings, miracles, and eventual crucifixion and resurrection. The book is divided into 16 chapters and covers the period from Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist to his ascension into heaven.
