Gospel of Mark
Scripture · Gospel · c. 66–70 · Greek
The shortest and, most scholars hold, the earliest gospel — urgent, vivid, built toward the cross. Papias records the tradition: Mark, Peter's interpreter, wrote down accurately what Peter preached. East and West never doubted it.
To: the church at Rome, by early tradition
