class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The early Church Fathers attribute the Second Gospel to John Mark, the son of a woman named Mary from Jerusalem and the nephew of Barnabas (Acts 12:12; 2 Timothy 4:11).<br>Mark was not one of the disciples; even though he likely encountered Jesus in person, he was still a teenager or even a child during Jesus\u2019 ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He accompanied Barnabas and Paul on their first missionary journey but parted ways with them in Perge for unknown reasons (Acts 13:13); later, he became their colleague again.<br>Finally, according to early witnesses, he wrote his Gospel while serving as Peter\u2019s companion and interpreter during Peter\u2019s stay in Rome between the years 64 and 68 AD (1 Peter 5:13).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The target audience for the Gospel according to Mark was not Jews, as with Matthew, but the \u201cGentile Christian\u201d world of the Roman cultural sphere. That is why many Jewish expressions and customs are explained in his account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gospel of Mark is the shortest account of Jesus, and the emphasis is on the actions of Christ\u2014on serving, on being a \u201cservant of humanity.\u201d<br>At the same time, it clearly presents Jesus\u2019 power and authority as the Son of God, both in the natural and supernatural realms. Mark most clearly reveals the invisible power structures of the demonic world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It concludes with Jesus\u2019 voluntary self-humiliation as a servant even unto death, which thereby becomes the source of our redemption and salvation.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-2520_38ac51-f0
