→Authorship: Mark uses Aramaic far more than the other Gospels, which again suggests that Mark had a different, probably Gentile, background. Aramaic was more popular among Gentiles than Greek was.
The author wrote as an outsider with imprecise knowledge of Jewish customs, while having greater fluency with [[Aramaic]]. Indeed, as shown above, this outsider was more blunt in his statements than [[the Apostles]] were, bolder in his claims.

An early tradition connects Mark, who wrote the Gospel of Mark, with John Mark as "Peter's copyist," putting to paper what Peter preached. [[Irenaeus]] says: "Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter, himself also handed down to us in writing what was preached by Peter."<ref>Against Heresies, 3.1</ref> Papius, [[Origen]], [[Tertullian]], and Clement of Alexandria also support a similar position.
