Mark’s Chronicle of Jesus’s Life
Initially failing in ministry after abandoning Paul’s mission team, Mark matured into a trusted church leader and authored the earliest Gospel. He worked closely with Peter in Rome, carefully recording the apostle’s eyewitness accounts of Jesus’s life. His writing focused on action and immediacy, creating a vivid portrait for Roman readers. According to Coptic tradition and Eusebius, he died around 68 AD in Alexandria, dragged through the streets for opposing pagan festivals.
