the word "gospel" in mark 1:1

[judge]

It is interesting to note, also, that Roman Empire usewd that greek work (or a slight variation) to describe the saving power of Ceaser and the Roan Empire. So the NT's use of it can be seen as juxtaposing the saving power of the real good news against the political saving power of the Empire.

See for exaple the Prirene inscription.
