Which Gospel writer is thought to have been Peter's translator?
A:Conservative Christians regard Mark as the translator who took Peter's experiences and wrote them down in the Gospel that now bears his name, but this is not the scholarly view. The conservative view arose because Mark is mentioned in the pseudonymous epistle, 1 Peter (5:13) as Peter's son, and Papias said that he was also the 'interpreter' for Peter. However, both are second-century sources and rely on Mark having actually been the author of the gospel that now bears his name.The New Testament gospels were originally anonymous and it was not until later in the second century that the Church Fathers thought to attribute authors, by which time any evidence as to who the authors were was long lost. The tradition that Mark was the author of the gospel that now bears his name arose around 130 CE, when Papias supposed that he was probably the author. Studies of this gospel have identified probable sources for some of the material in the gospel, good evidence that whatever the various sources were, they were not the words of Peter. So, although it is possible that Mark may have worked with Peter, he was not the writer of a gospel
Who wrote the shortest gospel?
The gospel of Mark is the shortest gospel.AnswerThe first and shortest gospel in the New Testament is called Mark's Gospel, as it was attributed to the apostle Mark by Papias in the second century. Bibical scholars say there is no good reason to accept this attribution, so we do not know who really wrote this gospel.
Which gospel was written for the gentiles?
John's Gospel was written for what is now called the Johannine community. Luke's gospel also seems to have been written for a limited community, although it may also have been intended to demonstrate to outsiders, such as the Roman authorities, the antiquity and virtues of Christianity. Some believe that Matthew's Gospel was written for a Jewish community, and if so this would have been a diaspora community. Mark's Gospel shows no indication of having been intended for a limited community, and in fact this gospel was known to the authors of all the other New Testament gospels - Matthew, Luke and John. So, Mark was the most universal of the gospels.
Why is Gospel Oak called gospel oak?
Gospel Oak is named after an oak tree that was said to have been a preaching spot for an early Christian preacher, hence the name Gospel Oak. However, the specific origins of the name are uncertain and there are various theories surrounding its meaning.
Which disciple outran Peter to Jesus' tomb?
-----------------------The Gospels of Matthew and Mark make it clear that none of the disciples went to the tomb of Jesus.In Luke, Peter goes alone to the tomb and finds it empty, save for two men in shining garments. There is therefore no dispute that Peter was the first disciple to reach the tomb.In John, Peter and the 'disciple whom Jesus loved', thought by some to be the disciple John, ran together to the tomb. The unknown disciple reached the tomb first and looked in, to see the cloths where Jesus' body should have been. Peter then arrived and went inside, followed by the other disciple, whereupon they saw that the tomb was empty. Some scholars, such as Elaine Pagels, say that the author of John's Gospel sought to downplay the role of Peter throughout the gospel. John is believed to have been inspired by Luke and the author is always careful not to directly contradict his source, but adds detail that makes Peter's role less compelling than in Luke. Thus, for John, Peter does not run alone to the tomb and is beaten to the tomb by the other disciple. But, in line with Luke, Peter is the first to actually enter the tomb. Any early Christian with access to both gospels would not find in John's account anything that casts serious doubt on the veracity of the evangelists. The differences could be read as no more than an expansion on Luke's version.
How many books from the Bible did Peter write?
It was once thought that the apostle Peter wrote the two epistles known as First Peter and Second Peter. It was also suggested that Mark wrote the gospel that now bears his name, based on the memoirs of Peter.Most scholars now accept that Peter did not write First Peter and Second Peter. It is also accepted that Mark was unlikely to have been the author of Mark's Gospel, which was originally anonymous and which was not written until approximately 70 CE. So the position now is that Saint Peter made no contribution to writing the New Testament.
Did Peter write Mark's Gospel?
A:The Gospel of Mark was originally anonymous, so we can not really say who wrote it, in spite of the second-century attribution to Mark. Nevertheless, New Testament scholars say that the gospel could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed, which means Peter certainly could not have written it. In any case, by about 70 CE, when Mark was written, Peter was most unlikely to have still been alive.

Who was first disciple?
ANSWER:John:1:40: One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.Matthew:4:18-20: And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.Matthew:10:2: Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother.Answer In Matthew's Gospel and Mark's Gospel, Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee when he called the brothers, Simon Peter and Andrew. They were the first disciples.In Luke's Gospel, Peter seems to have been the first disciple.In John's Gospel Andrew, and another of the disciples of John the Baptist were the first disciples of Jesus. Peter was the third.AnswerThe four Gospels each list the disciples in a different order. The ONLY ONE that occupies the same place in that order is PETER (also called Simon and Simon Peter). Yes Andrew went and found Peter and brought him to Jesus but it was not a situation of first in line gets to be it. Jesus told Peter "Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation a stone". Jesus chose Peter as his first disciple.
Who wrote the gospel between Matthew and Luke?
The Gospel of Mark is traditionally placed in the New Testament between those of Matthew and Luke, although it was actually written first. St Mark's Gospel does not identify its author and it was not until the second century that an attempt was made to assign an author to the Gospel, when it was attributed by the Church Fathers to the Apostle Mark, thus giving this previously anonymous Gospel the name by which it is now known.Eusebius (Ecclesiastical History, 3.39) says that it was Papias, bishop of Hieropolis in Asia Minor (ca.130), who named Mark as the author of the gospel and the 'interpreter' of Peter. It seems likely that he was influenced by the first epistle of Peter, a pseudonymous document from the second century, where a Mark is mentioned as Peter's son (l Peter 5:13). Since 1 Peter is now known not to have really been written by the apostle Peter, this just adds another level of unsupported conjecture to the quest for the author of Mark's Gospel.
Who is the traditional author of the first gospel?
AnswerAround 130 CE, Papias, bishop of Hieropolis, named Mark as the author of the hitherto anonymous gospel (From Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, 3.39). Since that time, Mark has traditionally been accepted as the author of what is now known as Mark's Gospel.Paul had mentioned a person called Mark, as one of his fellow workers, in his letter to Philemon. Then, in the first epistle of Peter (l Peter 5:13), a peudonymous document from the second century, a Mark is mentioned as Peter's son. Presumably these were thought to have been one and the same person.
Did Mark the Gospel writer ever meet Jesus?
The Gospel of Mark was originally written anonymously and only attributed by the Church Fathers to the apostle whose name it now bears later in the second century. There is no good reason to believe that the author was the apostle Mark, but if this was the author, the pseudepigraphical epistle, 1 Peter, says that Mark was the son of Peter.First, it is most unlikely that the author of Mark's Gospel was called Mark, and biblical scholars believe that the author seems not to have been close to anyone who was an eyewitness to the events that his gospel portrays. Second, if the Church Fathers were correct in attributing the epistle to Mark, he may have known Paul, but would not have met Jesus. 1 Peter was not written by the apostle Peter and therefore can not be relied on as evidence that Mark was even related to Peter.
What evidence is there that Mark's Gospel was written in Rome?
A:By the end of the second century, Clement of Alexandria said that Mark wrote the Gospel in Rome. However, since there was by then a strong tradition that Peter was martyred at Rome, his claim may have been an imaginative derivation from the connection that Papias made between Mark and Peter.
When was the last book of the New Testament written?
Books considered to have been written in the second century include: Acts of the Apostles, John's Gospel, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, Jude and Revelation. Luke's Gospel may have been written quite early in the second century. There is no clear consensus on which book was written last, but 2 Peter is clearly later than 1 Peter and Jude, and was probably written by 130 CE, or a little later.
