The author of this particular book of the Bible is unknown, making the book of Hebrews. Although this is the case, there have been many speculations to who the author could be.

In Colossians 3:22, it said” Bondservants, obey in everything those who are you earthly master, not by way of eye-services, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.” In Matthew 19:19, it said that we should love our neighbor as ourself.

The New Testament begins with four accounts of Christ's life; same person, same life, somewhat different stories. In general, it seems as though the church looks at all the gospels as a whole, treating each gospel as pieces of a puzzle that give us a full picture of Jesus’s time here on earth. However, if we look at it from the perspective of the people who would be reading

The Gospel of Mark is the shortest but contains prominent themes. The book has an immense significance in the Christian religion. In this gospel, we are introduced to Jesus and right away, one can conclude that he is the Son of God as "the Son of God" MT 1:1. It is a recurring assertion throughout the gospel that Jesus was the Son of God.

widely accepted theory. The Augustinian Theory suggests that Matthew was written in Aramaic and the first Gospel. Then it says that Mark was written based off of Mathew and was written in Greek when Hellenistic culture became prominent which is why it is the shorter Gospel. The Griesbach Hypothesis, also known as the Two-Gospel hypothesis, written by 18th century biblical scholar Griesbach, maintains that the order of the Gospels is Matthew, Luke, then Mark.
