Mark's intent is to convince Romans of the mission and deity of Jesus. The Roman mind would have been impressed by Jesus' power and the things He did so Mark concentrates on the miraculous ministry of Jesus.
Mark gives details about geography and customs of the time
The Gospel of Luke best fits the answer, although some might suggest the Gospel of Mark. Luke is written in good Greek, traces the lineage of Christ back to Adam (not just to Abraham as in Matthew), and seems to emphasize the inclusion of both Gentile and Jew in the church. In Acts, which is a second volume of the Gospel, you will note that Paul is proud of his Roman citizenship and that the Roman empire is generally shown as protective of the new church.
He wrote the second, the Gospel of Mark.
Although not at first apparent, the context of Mark's Gospel was the First Jewish War and the destruction of the Temple. There had been no gospel written in the decades since the time of Jesus, but scholars say that this gospel was written within about two years either side of the year 70 CE, when the Romans entered Jerusalem. The apocalyptic material in Mark was the consequence of the civil war in Jerusalem and the terrible destruction that eventuated.
In the King James version the word - gospel - appears in the following books Matthew Mark Luke Acts Romans 1 Corinthians 2 Corinthians Galatians Ephesians Philippians Colossians 1 Thessalonians 2 Thessalonians Philemon Hebrews 1 Peter Revelations
They are the Gospel of Matthew,Gospel of Mark,Gospel of Luke,and the Gospel of John.
Mark was one of the writers of the Gospel accounts. The Gospel according to Mark is the second one.
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.
Mark primarily wrote to a Gentile audience especially a Roman audience. Mark is the Gospel of action and this would appeal to the practical, action-oriened Romans. Jesus is portrayed as the Servant who came to suffer for the sins of many.
AnswerThe Gospel According to Luke follows after Mark's Gospel.
Secret Gospel of Mark was born on 1915-05-29.
A:Most Romans could not understand Greek, so it would not have appealed directly, but in translation. By the time Mark was written, approximately 70 CE, we know from Paul's Epistle to the Romans that there was already a thriving Christian community in Rome, although this was at least temporarily dispersed by Nero, who accused the Roman Christians of starting the Great Fire of Rome. We know very little about the theology being taught by the earlier Christians in Rome, but Mark provided a compelling story of success, then failure, despair and hope. At the same time, Mark's Gospel is careful not to apportion blame for the crucifixion of Jesus to the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, making it clear that he was a reluctant judge, who committed Jesus to crucifixion under duress. Mark further endears itself to the Romans by stating, "Give unto Caesar, that which is Caesar's..." (Mark 12:17). Mark's story was clearly not a threat to the Roman empire, and it was safe for Romans to associate with the gospel.
The Gospel of Mark is located in the New Testament. It is the second Gospel; in order they go Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
