Why were some of the scrolls written about Jesus left out of the Bible?

Many of the early gospels and books about Jesus and the apostles were written by Gnostics and conflicted with the teachings of what has become known as the proto-Catholic-orthodox branch of Christianity. When Catholic-orthodox Christianity succeeded in eliminating Gnosticism, the gnostic books were destroyed.
Other early books were of doubtful provenance and were eliminated from consideration on that ground.
Books that were omitted were not in common use by the majority of Christians down through Christian history, had not been accepted as being authored by an apostle or close associate, or contained material considered heretical or at variance with the apostolic witness (such as numerology or referring to a phoenix as an existing creature).

Do you have the first words from the first bible. I guess what Im trying to say . does Rome have the first written Bible and if so can we see it?
The bible is a collection of books. The books of the old testament comes from before the birth Jesus. The new testament are the books concerning the birth of Jesus and what comes after. As well as the books in the current bible, there were many other books written by people at the time (including many fakes written afterwards). Also there were many copies and different translations that did not match up. The current bible came about when the Pope organised the theologians of the day to go through all the books and sort them out. The books of the bible were written over a long period of time, all we have left are copies of the originals.

First off, Act was written by Luke, not Mark. Second, Luke wrote Act to document what happened to disciples after Jesus left. It follows the accounts of the disciples and the apostles like Paul.
How can we follow Jesus example?
By reading about what he said and did in the gospels. Also read about those who were his followers, who carried on His work after He left earth. Keep in mind that no one in The Bible (except for Jesus) was perfect, and that shows that, like his disciples, we should try to emulate Jesus, but we can never be as "good" as Him.
Isn't it also written that Jesus called John and his brother James to come follow me and they left their boat and their father and followed Jesus?
