{{Gospels}} The '''Gospel of Mark''' is the second [[Gospel]] of the [[New Testament]]; chronologically the first Gospel written. Like the other four gospels; Mark (known as John Mark) was one of the 12 disciples who used [[Apostle Peter |Peter]] as the primary source of his gospel as well as his own personal experiences.
==Authorship and writing of the Gospel==
==ContentsBackground ==According to some Church Fathers, Mark is most brief writing for the Christian community of Rome, which either was experiencing the great persecution by Nero (beginning in AD 64) or was caught up in the apocalyptic fervor occasioned by the Jewish war. Mark tells the story of Jesus so readers may see their own suffering as a prelude to the glorious Second Coming of Jesus and may discern the gospels which centers around reward of those who endure to the main them end. == Major Theme ==The major theme of this gospel is Jesus Christ as the ''Servant '' and ''Sacrifice''.Other sub-themes include: # The Suffering of the suffering Messiah (8:27-33) Being rejected by the elders and chief priests and the passion [crucifixion] of Jesus Christ. This suffering was analogous for his immediate disciples [[disciple]]s who say as their Messiah tribulations.# The Messianic Secret messianic secrete (1:34, 44; 8:30) One of the main reasons he wanted to be secret was to avoid public attention of the Romans and Jewish religious authorities such as the Sanhedrin (via Saducee and [[Pharisee ]] agents) who saw him as a threat. Later in the New Testament, Paul in his writings, used this description of Jesus because we are lost without him if we are in the world (non-Christian.)# Discipleship (8:34-38) Only the gospel saves and will be with you forever. Invitation to be in the presence of God and the holy angels.
