No. Paul's genuine epistles were written before Mark, as was Hebrews, but most other New Testament books were actually written later than Mark's Gospel.

It can be demonstrated that the Gospels of Matthew and Luke were derived directly form Mark's Gospel and the hypothetical 'Q' document, thus Mark is necessarily earlier than those gospels. John's Gospel was inspired in turn by Luke's Gospel, with some material taken direct from Mark, so once again, Mark is earlier.

Mark's Gospel is also earlier than many of the epistles, including all the pseudo-Pauline epistles.

In what community did Luke write his gospel?

We know little about the community in which Luke his Gospel, but we can infer some things. The Gospel was written in Greek Koine, long after 70 CE and very possibly in the first decade of the second century. It was therefore, no doubt, intended for a community somewhere in the Middle East around the end of the first century.There is no reason to believe that Luke's Gospel was written by Luke, the companion of Paul, an attribution that was only made later in the second century. It is possible to establish that this Luke knew nothing about the gospel Jesus, other than what he found in an incomplete copy of Marks' Gospel. Whenever Luke agrees with Mark, the text is almost identical in Greek, something that could not happen unless one Gospel was being copied. We also have the "Missing Block", a section of text that was obviously missing from the copy of Mark that Luke was using. That he was trying to follow Mark faithfully and did not know that there were missing sheets in his copy, is demonstrated by the fact that he unintelligibly merged the verses from Mark, before and after the Missing Block. Given the importance of material in the "Missing Block", particularly the miracle of walking on water, we could expect that Luke would have added this material from his other sources, if any such sources were known to him. If Luke knew nothing of the gospel story, we can infer that Luke's community knew nothing about the gospel Jesus before Luke began to preach from his Gospel, although they might have received the 'Q' document, which contained sayings attributed to Jesus.So we can build a picture of a Greek-speaking, gentile community in the Middle East, with no knowledge of the gospel stories, but which could have read and followed the sayings of Jesus from the 'Q' document, and wondered about the great man behind those sayings.

What event marks the end of Luke's Gospel and the beginning of Acts?

Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles were written by the same author, long assumed to be the apostle Luke. The Gospel was written first, with Acts apparently written after an interval, during which some of Luke's assumptions may have changed.Luke's Gospel ends when the risen Jesus last spoke to the disciples and was then taken bodily up into heaven on the evening of the day of his resurrection.Acts begins when the risen Jesus, who had remained on earth for forty days, seen by many, last spoke to the disciples and was then taken bodily up into heaven.
