UArius IPolycarp Kabir UBenedict weNursiaWayengubani uMarko uMvangeli?
UMark uMvangeli wayengomnye wabafundi bokuqala bakaYesu Krestu. Ukhunjulwa kakuhle njengombhali ‘weVangeli kaMarko’ ‘eBhayibhileni.’ Kukwakholelwa ukuba ungumseki ‘weCawa yaseAlexandria,’ enye yezona bhishophu zibalulekileyo ibona ubuKristu bokuqala. Yena, kunye nomnye umfundi kaYesu, uSanta Peter, bashumayela ngokomoya kwaye bahambisa iintshumayelo kwihlabathi liphela emva kokufa kukaYesu. Uyaziwa ngokuba ngongcwele weengonyama, amagqwetha, oosokhemesti, amabanjwa noonobhala. Abantu baqala ukudibanisa isibindi sikaMarko neso seNgonyama emva kokuba ehambise umyalezo weVangeli kaSanta uYohane uMbhaptizi, owawufumana kuYesu wawuhambisa kuMarko ngelizwi leNgonyama entlango. UMarko wayengqina lokuqala lemimangaliso emininzi eyenzeka ngexesha likaYesu Krestu. Wakhankanya ezimbalwa kwiVangeli yakhe. Wayekwangumsunguli wesikolo sokuqala samaKristu e-Egypt. Waqhubeka ekhonza ubuntu de kwasekufeni kwakhe emva kokuba wangcungcuthekiswa kwaye wavalelwa malunga no-68 AD.
Ityala lemifanekiso https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ifayile:Grandes_Heures_Anne_de_Bretagne_Saint_Marc.jpg (UJean Bourdichon [Indawo yoluntu]) Ubomi bokuqala kunye noBuntwana Ngokwengxelo, uMarko wazalwa kwi-5 AD kwi-Cyrene, ePentapolis yaseNtla Afrika. U-Aristopolus wayekholelwa ukuba ngutata wakhe. Umama kanina wayekholelwa ukuba useYerusalem kwaye wawusebenza njengeziko lobomi bobuKristu. Ngokomfundi wezakwalizwi waseMelika weTestamente eNtsha kunye noprofesa wezifundo zebhayibhile, uWilliam Lane, uMark uMvangeli wazibonakalisa noJohn Mark. Ukwabizwa ngokuba ngumza kaBharnabhas, omnye wabafundi bokuqala abangamaKristu eYerusalem. Kwakukholelwa ukuba wayengomnye ‘wabafundi abangamashumi asixhenxe’ owayethunyelwe nguYesu Krestu. Uninzi luye lwacinga ukuba yayiyindoda eyayiphatha amanzi isiya endlwini apho kwakusenzelwa khona ‘iSidlo Sangokuhlwa Sokugqibela’. Phakathi kokuzazi kwakhe okuninzi, wayeqwalaselwa njengendoda ebaleke ze xa kubanjwa uYesu. Nangona kunjalo, akukho zirekhodi zaneleyo kwimbali ukuqinisekisa nakuphi na kwezi. Qhubeka nokuFunda apha ngezantsi Umsebenzi wokuqala Akukho lwazi luninzi malunga nobomi bakhe bobutsha. Nangona kunjalo, kwafunyanwa kwiirekhodi zokuqala ukuba uMarko washiya idolophu yakhe ukuze alandele uSaint Paul. Emva kwexesha, wajoyina uSanta Peter kwaye wasebenza njengomvangeli wasemazweni kunye naye. Wayesaziwa ukuba wayehamba noBarnabus waya eAntiyokwe kwaye wasebenza naye ngokunjalo. USanta uPeter wayehlala engumlobi, kodwa kungekudala wayekuhambo lokufumana iCawa. Ngokuka ‘Eusebius waseKesareya,’ uPeter wabanjwa nguHerode Agripa ngo-41 AD ukuze abulawe emva ‘kwePasika.’ Kodwa, uPetros wasindiswa ngokungummangaliso ziingelosi wasaba waya kwa-Antiyokwe. Emva koko, waya kwiicawa ezahlukeneyo ePonto, eGalatiya, eAsia naseKapadokiya ngaphambi kokufika eRoma. ERoma, wadibana noMarko oNgcwele wamenza ukuba abe liqabane lakhe lokuhamba. Akukho xesha lokudibanisa ngobomi bukaMarko ngaphambi kokudibana noPeter. Wahamba noPaul eAsia Minor kwisiganeko esinye kodwa kwangaxeshanye, kwakukho iimeko zokuhamba kwakhe noBharnabhas. Wadibana noPeter kwaye wasebenza njengomtoliki. Wabhala iVangeli esekwe kwiintshumayelo ezininzi ezazisenziwa nguPeter, ngokwe ‘Mpostile uBawo uPapias wase Hierapolis.’ Umsebenzi Emva ‘koNyuko lukaYesu,’ uPeter noMark bazinikezela ubomi babo ekuhambiseni iintshumayelo zobuKristu kunye nokomoya kwihlabathi liphela. Malunga no-49 AD, uMarko waya eAlexandria, e-Egypt, waseka i-‘Cawa yase-Alexandria. ’Emva kokuba esungule iCawe e-Alexandria, uMark watyelela umthungi weempahla ogama linguAnianus ukuyokulungisa izihlangu zakhe. UAnianus usike ngengozi umnwe wakhe ngelixa elungisa izihlangu zikaMarko. UMarko wathabatha intwana yodongwe, wayitshica, wayifaka into efanayo kumnwe weentsimbi xa wayethandaza kuYesu ukuba aphilise inxeba lakhe. Inxeba laphola kwaphela ngemizuzwana. Ukulandela lo mmangaliso, u-Anianus wacela uMarko ukuba amfundise yonke into ngobuKrestu noYesu. Uthembisile ukusasaza umyalezo kubantwana bakhe nakubo bonke abanye abantu. Ngapha koko, uAnianus ngokwakhe waba nguBhishophu kwicawa yase-Egypt. Yile ndlela uMarko ashumayela ngayo imimangaliso kunye nenyaniso yobuKristu kwihlabathi lonke. Uye waba ngu-Bhishophu wokuqala wase-Alexandria. Kukwakholelwa ukuba ungumseki wobuKristu eAfrika. Qhubeka nokuFunda apha ngezantsi 'kwiVangeli kaMarko,' kwakhankanywa ukuba uYohane oNgcwele uMbhaptizi wakhala ngokulungiselela ulungiselelo lukaYesu. Ngokwe ‘Vangeli,’ isikhalo sakhe sasibonakala ngokungathi sisandi sengonyama. UMarko uthathe uxanduva lokuhambisa umyalezo ngesibindi kunye namandla engonyama. Kungenxa yoko le nto ehlala enxulunyaniswa nengonyama. Ngapha koko, wavela njengengonyama kumbono womprofeti uHezekile naye. Mhlawumbi, yiloo nto uMarko uMfuziseli wesimboli ingonyama enamaphiko. Ngexesha lakhe emhlabeni, uMarko wabona imimangaliso emininzi kwaye uninzi lwaye lwachaphazeleka nakuye. Kwakhona wabhala ngezinye zeVangeli yakhe. Omnye wemimangaliso wenzeka xa uMarko kunye notata wakhe babewela uMlambo iJordani xa badibana nengonyama kunye nenkunzi yengonyama. Kwakungomcimbi wexesha xa uMarko wavala amehlo akhe wathandaza kuYesu kwaye ngequbuliso, zombini iingonyama zawa emhlabeni, zafa. Wachitha isiqwenga sobomi bakhe esebenza no-Saint Peter kwaye esasaza umyalezo ka Yesu kwiilwandle ezisixhenxe. Umsebenzi wakhe wagqitywa emva kokuba iVangeli yakhe ibhalwe kwiPapyrus. Ubomi boBuntu kunye nelifa Akukho zirekhodi zobomi bomtshato bukaMarko. Wanikela ngobomi bakhe kuYesu kwaye ehambisa imiyalezo yakhe ebhaliweyo okanye ebhaliweyo. Emva kokugqiba umsebenzi wakhe, uMarko wabuyela ePentapolis kamva ebomini bakhe. Ukusuka apho, wabuyela eAlexandria. Nangona kunjalo, akazange amkelwe e-Alexandria ngabahedeni, abagweba iinjongo zakhe zokuthatha ukuzinikela kwabo koothixo bemveli. Kuthiwa nge AD 68, intambo yayisongelwe entanyeni ngaba bahedeni kwaye warhuqwa ezitratweni, nto leyo eyakhokelela ekufeni kwakhe. Kuthiwa uMarko wabona imibono yeengelosi kwaye weva ilizwi likaYesu ngexesha lokufa kwakhe. Amathambo omzimba wakhe abiwa ngoomatiloshe, abathi bawusa eVenice. I-Basilica yaseSt. Kuthiwa nasemva kokuba eswelekile, waphilisa ngokungummangaliso abantu, xa kuthandazwa. Waye wabonwa ngabantu abaninzi kwimibono yabo. 'Umthendeleko weSt. Kwimimandla yamaKrestu, apho uJohn Mark engoyena mntu wahlukileyo kuJohn uMvangeli, kukwabhiyozelwa okufanayo ngoSeptemba 27. Kukho inani lemizobo kunye nemisebenzi yobugcisa enikezelwe kuye. Uhlala ebonakaliswa ebhala okanye ephethe iVangeli yakhe okanye njengoBhishophu etroneni ejikelezwe ziingonyama.
