To add more to this article: Gospels themselves are of gift of God’s inspiration through Saint Mark, who wrote the first without near models. He never met Christ, but learned about him in large part from Saint Peter. He was sent by Saint Peter to be the bishop of Alexandria, the 2nd greatest city of the Roman Empire then. The immense increase of Christians there enraged the pagans against him. Finding him while he was saying mass, they dragged him through the streets for two days, until he died.
