MATTHEW

The first gospel account in the New Testament was written by the Apostle Matthew who was a tax collector until he followed Jesus. Matthew records all of the major events in Jesus' life, from His prophesied Incarnation and birth, to His miracles and teachings, all the way to His death and resurrection. One of the Twelve Apostles who were personally chosen by Christ, Matthew was an eyewitness to many of the events he records in his gospel. He wrote to confirm that Jesus had perfectly fulfilled many of the Old Testament prophesies about the Messiah and that Jesus had come to save his people from their sins.

MARK

The Gospel of Mark is the shortest of the four gospel accounts and was written to declare that Jesus is both the Messiah and the Son of God. He performed numerous miracles that demonstrated His power and authority and He "gave His life as a ransom for many." Its author was likely John Mark who recorded what the Apostle Peter could remember about the life of Jesus.
