Mark: The evangelist; "John whose surname was Mark" (Acts 12:12,25) Mark (Marcus, (Colossians 4:10) etc.) was his Roman name, which gradually came to supersede his Jewish name John. He is called John in (Acts 13:5,13) and Mark in (Acts 15:39; 2 Timothy 4:11) etc. He was the son of Mary, a woman apparently of some means and influence, and was probably born in Jerusalem, where his mother resided (Acts 12:12) Of his father we know nothing. He was cousin of Barnabas (Colossians 4:10) It was in his mother's house that Peter found "many gathered together praying" when he was released from prison; and it is probable that it was here that he was converted by Peter, who calls him his "son" (1 Peter 5:13) It is probable that the "young man" spoken of in (Mark 14:51,52) was Mark himself. He is first mentioned in (Acts 12:25) He went with Paul and Barnabas on their first journey (about A.D. 47) as their "minister," but from some cause turned back when they reached Perga in Pamphylia (Acts 12:25) (Acts 13:13) Three years afterwards a "sharp contention" arose between Paul and Barnabas (Acts 15:36-40) because Paul would not take Mark with him. He, however, was evidently at length reconciled to the apostle, for he was with him in his first imprisonment at Rome (Colossians 4:10; Philemon 1:24) At a later period he was with Peter in Babylon (1 Peter 5:13) then, and for some centuries afterwards, one of the chief seats of Jewish learning; and he was with Timothy in Ephesus when Paul wrote him during his second imprisonment (2 Timothy 4:11) He then disappears from view.
