About Mark's Gospel
Mark probably wrote this book while he was living in Rome. #1:0 Rome was an important city in the world at the time of Jesus. It was a powerful city and it had a strong army. The Romans ruled many other countries and they made the people obey the laws of Rome. They made them pay taxes to Rome. He wrote it at some time between AD 50 and AD 70. Mark was also called John Mark. It is the shortest one of the four Gospels.
Mark wrote his book for Gentiles.
Mark wanted to tell everyone about the things that Jesus had done. He described how Jesus lived. He explained who Jesus was. Jesus was a man, but he was also God's Son. Mark described how Jesus died on a cross. And he described how Jesus became alive again after his death. He explained how people could let God rule in their lives (the kingdom of God). He wrote about the things that Jesus taught the people.
People think that Mark was a friend of Peter, who was one of Jesus' apostles. Mark listened to Peter when he was talking about Jesus. He wrote down the things that Peter said. People also think that Mark was the young man in Mark 14:51-52. If that man was Mark, then he saw some of those things himself.
