The
whole Gospel of Mark was written rather in collaboration with Peter and
Barnabas. This, as given, was the first of the WRITTEN words respecting the acts,
the life, the deeds of the Master; while it is shorter in words, there is more
in body content of the acts than in most of the other writings. It is nearer in
accord with that in Matthew, but not an abridged condition or abridged writing;
for Matthew was written from the churches in Pamphylia, while Mark wrote from
Rome. There had been some distribution, or a portion had been carried to many
of the various groups before Mark's was accepted, and before Matthew's was
given; for this was written some ten to eighteen years later.
