Comment about second Gospel (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

remark

'comment' is the definition.
(a remark is a spoken comment)

'second gospel' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 're' (prefix meaning second in eg review, re-education).
'gospel' becomes 'Mark' (book of the New Testament).
're'+'mark'='REMARK'

'about' is the link.

(Other definitions for remark that I've seen before include "what someone says?" , "Notice; happen to say" , "(E.g. Virgil's) pastoral poems" , "Notice or comment on" , "Mention - observe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
