What characteristic of the Gospel of Mark least points to Rome as the place where Mark wrote it?
A:Had Mark's Gospel been written in Rome for gentiles, the first choice of language would certainly have been Latin, and there is evidence in Mark's Gospel that its author knew Latin. In fact, it can be assumed that anyone living in Rome would have been able to speak Latin. Mark's Gospel was written in neither Latin nor classical Greek, but in Greek Koine, the lingua franca of the Hellenistic Near East. This alone points to the Gospel being written in the east, from Asia Minor to Mesopotamia, perhaps the gentile communities of Palestine, or Egypt.
Where was Mark's Gospel written?
It is not known where the Gospel was written, but there are some clues that may help. The book was written in Greek by a person with some knowledge of Judaism, but apparently very unfamiliar with Palestinian geography. It seems that the book was written in poor Greek, yet the writer was a quite skilled writer.Mark's Gospel may have been written in Rome, but the fact that the author chose to write in Greek suggests that the eastern Empire was more likely. However, it was unlikely to have been written in Palestine, since his readers would have recognised the geographic errors. Tyre and Sidon have been suggested as probable locations for Mark. Here he would have been familiar with the early Christian traditions of northern Syria.
Why did Mark's Gospel appeal to Romans?
The gospel of Mark seems to have been written with non-Jews in mind because it's terminology was different than other gospel accounts. Mark's account includes explanations that were not necessary for natural Jews. For example, He explains that the Jordan was a "river" and that you could see the temple of Jerusalem from the "Mount of Olives" ... even explaining to the reader that the Pharisees were "fasting" and did not believe in the "resurrection". So in this way, Mark's account is more descriptive and geared for someone with more limited knowledge of the Jewish ways. Since Mark was known to accompany the Apostle Paul (as the Apostle to the nations) and visited him when he was imprisoned in Rome, it is acceptable that his gospel would help continue the preaching of the good news to non-Jews.
Who is Romans chapter 4 written to?
Well the book of Romans was written to all of the believers who were in Rome. So I would have to say that Romans chapter 4 was written to the Believers in Rome.
Was Clement the writer of Paul's epistles?
On the evidence of Eusebius, Clement was bishop of Rome between 92 and 101 CE. Clement is said to have written two letters to the Corinthians, but these are not the same letters as Paul wrote to the Corinthians. In any case, Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians must have been written before Mark's Gospel, which is reliably dated to around 70 CE. The Clementine epistle, 1 Clement does refer to Paul's letter to the Corinthians. No, he did not write Paul's epistles - Paul wrote them. Some are of the opinion that Clement may have written Hebrews.
Where was the Gospel of Luke written?
The Gospel of Luke was written in either Antioch or Rome, with scholars debating the exact location.

Which gospel was the first to be written and where was it written?
A:Mark's gospel was written first, although it is traditionally listed second in the Bible. The generally accepted date it was written is approximately the year 70 - between 68 and 73 CE. Matthew and Luke were undoubtedly written second and third, because scholars have demonstrated that they were actually based on Mark's Gospel. John's Gospel is almost universally accepted as the last New Testament gospel to be written and is dated to early in the second century. A widely held tradition is that Mark's Gospel was probably written in Rome, probably because of the two traditions that Mark was related to Peter and that Peter travelled to Rome to lead the Christians there. However, the Gospel was originally anonymous and was only attributed to thae apostle Mark around 130 CE.Had Mark's Gospel been written in Rome for gentiles, the first choice of language would certainly have been Latin, and there is evidence in Mark's Gospel that its author knew Latin. In fact, it can be assumed that even members of the Jewish community living in Rome would have been able to speak Latin.

This alone points to the Gospel being written in the east, from Asia Minor to Mesopotamia, perhaps the gentile communities of Palestine, or Egypt.
Was Mark's Gospel written in Rome?
Mark's Gospel is traditionally said to have been written in Rome, and that is indeed possible. However, it is more likely that if Mark was written in Rome, it would have been written in Latin, a language which the author seems to have known. There seems little point in writing in a language that many Romans would not have understood.As Mark was written in Greek Koine, it was more likely written somewhere in the eastern empire, where this was the language spoken. On this evidence, it was not written in the Jewish communities of Palestine, where Aramaic would have been the language of choice.
People of the Gospel of Mark?
Mark wrote his gospel to the people of Rome to comfort them as they were being blamed on the burning of Rome.
Why did Mark choose to write his gospel from Rome?
The Gospel of Mark was written in Greek Koine, the language used throughout the eastern empire, as were the other books of the New Testament. Some say that the Gospel of Mark was written for Roman Christians because it contains some words derived from Latin. However, this is a most improbable explanation, although strongly supported. The Latinisms do indeed demonstrate that the author of Mark knew the Latin language. Since we can therefore establish that he knew Latin, he would have written his Gospel in Latin, rather than Greek, since Romans would have been more comfortable in their own language and many would not even have understood Greek.It was Clement of Alexandria, around the end of the second century, who proposed Rome as the place where Mark wrote the Gospel. There was by then a strong tradition that Peter was martyred at Rome, and Clement's claim might have been an imaginative derivation from the connection that Papias made between Mark and Peter.
What is unique about Lukess picture of Jesus?
Luke's gospel shows some Romans in a positive light. It is speculated by some that it was part of Paul's evidence at his trial in Rome.
Was John's Gospel written before or after Paul and Peter died?
A:We do not know when or how Paul and Peter died, but we have no epistle written by Paul after about 60 CE. A later tradition says that the were both executed in Rome during the mid-60s of the first century. It has been established that John's Gospel was loosely based on Luke's Gospel, which was written around the end of the first century. For this and other reasons, New Testament scholars date John to early in the second century, although some conservative Christians still prefer a somewhat earlier date.Based on the above evidence, John was written long after the death of the apostles Paul and Peter.
