In a New Testament context, the evangelists were the authors of the four gospels.

The Gospel of Mark was written first and therefore its author was the first evangelist. Although traditionally referred to as Mark, some say that we do not really know who the author was, as the Gospel was only attributed to Mark later in the second century.

Who was the first evanglist in the bible?

A:In a biblical context, the word 'evangelist' usually refers to the authors of the four New Testament gospels. In spite of current attributions, these were originally anonymous and were only attributed to the apostles whose names they now bear later in the second century. Modern New Testament scholars say there is no good reason to accept these attributions, so we do not actually know who wrote any of the gospels. The names Matthew, Mark, Luke and John continue to be used for convenience. The first New Testament gospel to be written was the Gospel of Mark, as can be shown by the reliance of the three other evangelists on Mark as a source for their gospels. So the evangelist known as Mark was the very first evangelist in the Bible.
