St. Mark, a companion of both Saints Peter and Paul (1Pet 5:13, Col 4:10), probably wrote this Gospel around the year 70 AD, soon after the Roman Empire martyred these two apostles and destroyed the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. This timing makes Mark’s Gospel the earliest of the four and suggests that it probably reflects his memory of Peter’s eyewitness account. It is also the shortest of the four Gospels, making it a good introduction to the main character of the whole Bible, Jesus Christ. Click on the links below to read this Mark’s Gospel in four parts.
