Teofylakta uzasadnienie Wyjaśnienia do Ewangelii Marka
Theophylact’s Reasons for The Explanation to the Gospel of Mark

Summary/Abstract: In ancient times the Gospel of Mark was understood to be summarized version of the first Gospel – the Gospel of Matthew. Because of that the Fathers of the Church limited to commentaries on the longer Gospel. Theophylact of Ohrid, was the first to write an explanation of the Gospel of Mark in Greek, after he had commented the First Gospel. The Preface to this explanation shows the reasons for explaining these Gospels separately. The Bishop of Ohrid refers to the biblical visions of four creatures (Eze 1:5-6.10; Rev 4:6-7). The symbols of the creatures, according to him, indicate the various contents of the Gospels, which require distinct commentaries.
