St. Mark, the disciple and interpreter of St. Peter (saith St. Jerome),according to what he heard from Peter himself, wrote at Rome a briefGospel at the request of the Brethren, about ten years after our lord'sAscension; which when Peter had heard, he approved of it and with hisauthority published it to the church to be read.
