*AUTHOR*
*1.
Who wrote (or is credited with writing) the text?*
/While there is little if any direct evidence of authorship, it was the unanimous testimony of the early church that this gospel was written by John Mark.
Mark was a close associate of Peter, from whom he received the tradition of the things said and done by the Lord.
The first mention of him is in connection with his mother, who had a house in Jerusalem that served as a meeting place for believers.
When Paul and Barnabas returned to Antioch from Jerusalem, Mark accompanied them.. Mark next appears as a helper to Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey, but he deserted them to return to Jerusalem.
When Barnabas proposed taking Mark on the second journey, Paul flatly refused..Barnabas took Mark and left for Cyprus.
Mark reappears in Paul’s letter to the Collossians written from Rome.
Paul sends a greeting from Mark and adds “you have received instructions about him about him, if he comes to you, welcome him.”
by the end of Paul’s life, Mark had fully regained Paul’s favor../
*2.
From what perspective does the author write?*
/Mark writes this Gospel not as a finished sequential account of the life of our Lord, but as the preaching of Peter preaching, which was directed to the needs of the early Christian communities.
Tradition holds that the Gospel of Mark largely consists of the preaching of Peter arranged and recorded by John Mark./
*3.
What are the historical and social contexts?*
*TEXT*
/" 46And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.
47And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
48And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
49And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called.
And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
50And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
51And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?
