'''Mark''', also known as John Mark,<ref>Acts 12:12</ref> was the author of the second Gospel, the [[Gospel of Mark]]. Written in [[Greek]] for a [[Christian]] audience, and using terms that were meaningless to non-believers, Mark’s Gospel is a mixture of theology and history. It is written in a simple, forceful style.

Mark himself accompanied [[Paul]] and [[Barnabas]], his cousin, on their missionary journey.<ref>Acts 12:25</ref> Mark’s unexplained departure from that trip at Perga caused a later split between Paul and Barnabas, when Paul refused to take Mark on the second mission. Barnabas, in loyalty to his cousin Mark, broke off his relationship with Paul and traveled with Mark instead to Cyprus.<ref>Acts 15:36-39</ref> Later Paul and Mark were reunited and went on an additional trip together.

Mark was close to the older [[Peter]], who once described Mark as "my son."<ref>I Peter 5:13</ref>. Mark likely acted as an interpreter for Peter and the Gospel According to Mark is often considered to be Peter’s Gospel as transcribed by Mark.
