Mark's Gospel was written around the end of the First Roman-Jewish War, so it is plausible that the War was the reason for writing this gospel. It could be that the traumatic events leading up to the time of writing really did seem as if the world was about to end, just as Mark says in chapter 13. It could be that the Christians, who were still regarded very much as Jews, wanted to show the Romans that Christians bore them no ill-will and would be no threat to the Roman peace. Or it could be that the disarray in which Judaism now found itself created a potential for converting some of the Jews, at a time when Rabbinic Judaism had not yet established itself.
