About Mark's gospel

Mark's gospel is the most ancient written record of Jesus of Nazareth, written around 65 AD by a close companion of Jesus and his disciple, Peter. Mark is part of the Holy Bible – the second book of the New Testament. Its 16 action-packed chapters reveal the unique identity, teaching and works of Jesus. Gospel means 'good news', and Mark describes this book as "the good news about Jesus the Messiah".

What is the Gospel?

The Holy Bible teaches us that all people deserve shame and judgement for our sin. But the good news is that Jesus died on the cross and took the judgement we deserve. He rose from the dead on the third day to prove he has paid for the sin of everyone who trusts him. And when we trust Jesus as Lord and Saviour, God forgives us fully and forever. We experience a real and restored relationship with God that will never end.

Tips for reading

You can browse this book by chapter and verse numbers (see the links at the bottom of the page to switch chapter). For example, 'Mark 8:29' refers to Mark chapter 8, verse 29. Because the Bible is an old book from another place, there are many things you may find hard to understand at first. When this happens, pray for God's help, and consider reading the book with an experienced follower of Jesus. Online commentaries such as bibleref.com can also help you as you study.
