This class, Honors New Testament part 2, has helped me discover who Paul is. Before his class, honestly too my embarassment, all I knew of Paul was that he is a follower of Christ. Through this class I was able to follow Paul through his journeys until his final records in Rome, the city of his citizenship. We know this because when Paul is at the Herodian Temple mount the Romans save him, because he is a citzen, and he also speaks perfect greek and Hebrew. Luke is Pauls traveling compainon and wrote Acts Lukes account can be trusted because he quotes Mark and he was in the right places to do the research and personal interviews. Luke however, corrects marks order. Mark is Peter’s scribe, and therefore the book of Mark contains Peter’s Memoirs. Mary is the mother of Mark, she owns the room where the last supper was held. Peter and Paul were both strong sayers of truth. When Peter and John were arrested, Peter anounces to the rullers that they killed Christ. Mark was the missionary compaion of Paul and Barnabas. In the end of Paul's life he writes to Timothy and asks him to bring John Mark. Mark going to Rome completes the triangle between Peter and Paul.
