Scientific testing confirmed that a recently discovered transcript from the Gospel of Mark dates from before A.D. 90, when Mark may have still been living.
The '''Gospel of Mark''' is an easy-to-understand account of the teachings, miracles and Passion of Jesus which emphasizes how suffering and loss enhances one's [[faith]] and [[salvation]].<ref>''See, e.g.'', Mark 8:35.</ref> This Gospel was written by [[Mark]] or John Mark, who later became an apostle of Peter and a missionary companion of Paul, and ultimately founded Christianity in Egypt.

There are several indications that this Gospel was written by a very young eyewitness. Unlike the [[Gospel of Matthew]] and the [[Gospel of Luke]], the Gospel of Mark has very few economic parables that mean more to adults than to children. The accounts that Mark does include are those making a bigger impression on a child, such as the multiplication of the loaves (which Mark references ''twice''). Mark's mother was a follower of Jesus, and Mark's account of the Resurrection was based on the account of the women disciples.
