Since Luke wrote a short Gospel based on Mathew for evangelizing Aramaic speaking gentiles
in the northern part of Asia Minor, his Gospel in Aramaic was the first to reach Greece.
Since Mark's Gospel was the first to reach Greece, it was the first to be translated into Greek,
apparently sometime after 70 A.D.
Probably, but from Mark we have a short fragment among the Dead Sea Scrolls, which is dated at 52AD. I doubt it can be said so exact, but it is anyway from before 70.
