Konkani Bible – Gospel of Mark
The Gospel of Mark, one of the four Gospels in the New Testament of the Holy Bible, narrates the life, teachings, miracles, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Traditionally attributed to John Mark, a companion of the apostles Peter and Paul, it is the shortest and likely the earliest Gospel, written around 60-70 AD. Mark’s Gospel focuses on Jesus as the Son of God and Savior, emphasizing His compassion, authority, and sacrifice for humanity. Its fast-paced style highlights Jesus’ actions, urging readers to follow Him with faith and dedication.
Background on John Mark: John Mark, often simply called Mark, was a young follower of Jesus’ disciples. He is believed to be a native of Jerusalem, and his mother’s house was a meeting place for early Christians (Acts 12:12). Mark accompanied Paul and Barnabas on their missionary journeys but later parted ways due to a disagreement (Acts 15:37-39). He became a close companion of Peter, who called him “my son” (1 Peter 5:13), and likely wrote the Gospel based on Peter’s teachings. Mark’s life reflects growth from inexperience to a faithful servant, contributing a vivid account of Jesus’ ministry that inspires believers today.
