'''John Mark''' was an early [[Christian]] [[evangelist]] mentioned in the [[New Testament]], but probably not the author of the [[Gospel of Mark]] as some historians have suggested.
 +
 
 +
Reasons why John Mark was not the author of the Gospel of Mark include:
 +
*Mark was his surname, but the Gospel authors went by their first name, and his was John
 +
*[[Luke]] refers to John Mark disparagingly, yet Luke copied extensively in the [[Gospel of Luke]] from the Gospel of Mark
 +
*multiple references to John Mark in the New Testament make no mention of his writing anything
 +
*John was a common Semitic name, while Mark was a common Roman name; it is unjustified to link two persons just because they shared one of those names
