Paul’s first missionary journey, undertaken with Barnabas and John Mark, marked a foundational moment in the spread of early Christianity as they traveled from Antioch to Cyprus, Pisidian Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe, preaching the Gospel, performing miracles, facing persecution, and establishing new churches, thereby demonstrating the transformative power of the Gospel and the inclusivity of God’s salvation plan.
Mark, also known as John Mark, was a companion of Paul and Barnabas and is traditionally believed to be the author of the Gospel of Mark, playing a crucial role in the early Christian movement and the spread of the Gospel.
The Gospel of Mark remains a foundational text for understanding the life and teachings of Jesus, offering insights into his profound impact and the essence of his message.
