| Here is a special page that you may become very familiar with. We have decided to read books of the Bible broken into their chapters. The readers of these are hometown Viola folk. The 'twang' in our language is very appealing to some visitors to our site. We offer these readings to you as a help in your daily reading or study. You may also notice that our readings will be from the New King James translation. Enjoy! |

| Mark is the shortest of the four Gospels, and is widely accepted as being the oldest. It was probably written about thirty years after Jesus’ resurrection in the early to mid ‘60s AD. During this time, the Christians in Rome were suffering severe persecution by the Emperor Nero in Rome, and so the themes of sacrifice and adversity are strong in the book of Mark. |
