Number: 41

Person: Mark (John Mark)

Action: Writing the Gospel (the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ)

Object: Scroll / Gospel

Scripture connection: Mark 1:1 — The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Acts 12:12 — He went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark.

Memory hook: 41 = the Gospel of Mark — the second Gospel, fast-paced and vivid. One author, one scroll; the number 41 is the gospel that runs.

Why this number? 41 = Gospel of Mark (41). Mark (John Mark) is the one who wrote the earliest Gospel; the number 41 ties the book to the man.
