Introducing Mark and his Gospel
MARK. Mark lived during the same century as Jesus. They lived in the first century, about 2000 years ago. After Jesus rose from the dead and returned to heaven, Mark met the followers of Jesus, and learned many things about Jesus from them. Finally, Mark wrote down the story of the life of Jesus. That book is called the Gospel of Mark.

GOSPEL. The word "gospel" means "good news". Because the message about Jesus coming to earth in order to save people is "good news," therefore Mark called his book a "gospel". The Gospel of Mark is found in the second section of the Bible, called the "New Testament". (The "Old Testament" section of the Bible tells the history of the Jewish people before the time of Jesus.) In the New Testament, there are four books called "gospels". Each gospel is written by a different author, and each tells us different details about the life of Jesus. The Gospel of Mark is the shortest and simplest.
