Gospel of Mark

rdfs:comment

The Gospel of Mark is the second book in the Bible's New Testament canon, although it was probably the first of the gospels to be written (c. 70 to 75 CE). Despite being written 35 to 50 years after his death, this is the earliest work providing details of Jesus' life and ministry. Although anonymous, the author of Mark is traditionally John Mark, translator for Peter the Apostle. However, in addition to the lack of evidence for Markan authorship, this attribution does not make the author an eyewitness to the events described. The Gospel according to Mark is the second book of the New Testament, which tradition holds was written by Mark, a disciple of Simon Peter. It records many of the same events as the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke, with the exception of the nativity. Most Bible scholars agree that Mark was written first, and was used as a source for both Matthew and Luke (the Markan priority hypothesis). The older Augustinian hypothesis held that the Gospels were written in the order they appear in the New Testament. The Gospel of Mark was Mark of Jerusalem's account of the life of Jesus Christ. It was written in Ephesus while Mark was there with Paul of Tarsus and Barnabas, building up the newly-founded Christian church. Written in Hebrew and Aramaic, the gospel was eventually sent back to Byzantium for translation into Greek by the scribes, Amos, Rayhab and Reuben. The Gospel of Mark is the second of four gospels in the New Testament. It is the second of 26 books in the specifically Christian New Testament. It is the forty-first book of the Bible. The Gospel of Mark is an account of Jesus Christ's life and emphasizes his actions more than his words. Its structure is similar to both Matthew and Luke, but the general emphasis results in a shorter book. In some cases, though, it gives more details. From his baptism to his resurrection, Jesus is portrayed as one with a purpose. The reader is drawn along to learn of the Savior

The Gospel of Mark is the second book in the Bible's New Testament canon, although it was probably the first of the gospels to be written (c. 70 to 75 CE). Despite being written 35 to 50 years after his death, this is the earliest work providing details of Jesus' life and ministry. Although anonymous, the author of Mark is traditionally John Mark, translator for Peter the Apostle. However, in addition to the lack of evidence for Markan authorship, this attribution does not make the author an eyewitness to the events described. The Gospel of Mark does not read like history, even when compared with other historical works of the time, and is constructed almost entirely of passages taken from the Old Testament. These observations have led some to conclude that the author of Mark did not intend to write anything more than fiction, and therefore a historical Jesus never existed. Because of the use of Jewish scripture by the author of Mark, some mistakenly reach the backward conclusion that events in Mark were prophesied by the Old Testament. The gospels of Matthew and Luke are obviously largely based on the Gospel of Mark. The Gospel of Mark is the second of four gospels in the New Testament. It is the second of 26 books in the specifically Christian New Testament. It is the forty-first book of the Bible. The Gospel of Mark is an account of Jesus Christ's life and emphasizes his actions more than his words. Its structure is similar to both Matthew and Luke, but the general emphasis results in a shorter book. In some cases, though, it gives more details. Beginning with baptism of Jesus, Mark tells nothing of the early life of Christ. The book moves quickly, with a few verses sufficing to tell of the temptation. Miracles come quickly, and parables tend to be shorter. True to the very first verse, Mark points to Jesus, the Messiah and the good news concerning Him. From his baptism to his resurrection, Jesus is portrayed as one with a purpose. The reader is drawn along to learn of the Savior It was most likely written to the Gentile church at Rome during Emperor Nero's persecution of Christians around AD 60. The Gospel of Mark was Mark of Jerusalem's account of the life of Jesus Christ. It was written in Ephesus while Mark was there with Paul of Tarsus and Barnabas, building up the newly-founded Christian church. Written in Hebrew and Aramaic, the gospel was eventually sent back to Byzantium for translation into Greek by the scribes, Amos, Rayhab and Reuben. It was while visiting these scribes that the First Doctor examined Mark's hand-written originals. He thought the experience incomparably superior to his adventures with the Aztecs, the French Revolutionaries, or Marco Polo; better than his witnessing of the assassination of President McKinley or the events of the Passchendaele, Dunkirk — better even than the time when he had sailed around the Caribbean Sea on a pirate ship. The experience reminded him of the time he had helped William Shakespeare on the early drafts of Hamlet. (PROSE: Byzantium!)
