Coptic Mark 4:26-32

[According to Coptic tradition, the Evangelist and Gospel writer Mark was the founder of Egyptian Christianity. The New Testament also puts Egyptians in Jerusalem when the original Christian congregation began, at Pentecost. (Acts 2:8-11) In addition, the eloquent Alexandrian Christian orator and teacher, Apollos, is mentioned at Acts 18:24-28]
