DESCRIPTION:A disciple of Jesus\, named Mark\, appears in several places in
  the New Testament. If all references to Mark can be accepted as referring
  to the same person\, we learn that he was the son of a woman who owned a 
 house in Jerusalem. Church tradition suggests that Mark may have been the 
 young man who fled naked when Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsema
 ne. In his letter to the Colossians\, Paul refers to “Mark the cousin of
  Barnabas\,” who was with him in his imprisonment. Mark set out with Pau
 l and Barnabas on their first missionary journey\, but he turned back for 
 reasons which failed to satisfy Paul (Acts 15:36-40). When another journey
  was planned\, Paul refused to have Mark with him. Instead\, Mark went wit
 h Barnabas to Cyprus. The breach between Paul and Mark was later healed\, 
 and Mark became one of Paul’s companions in Rome\, as well as a close fr
 iend of Peter’s.\nAn early tradition recorded by Papias\, Bishop of Hier
 opolis inAsia Minor at the beginning of the second century\, names Mark as
  theauthor of the Gospel bearing his name\, drawing his information from t
 he teachings of Peter. In his First Letter\, Peter refers to “my son Mar
 k\,” which shows a close relationship between the two men (1 Peter 5:13)
 .\nThe Church of Alexandria in Egypt claimed Mark as its first bishop and 
 most illustrious martyr\, and the great Church of St. Mark in Venice comme
 morates the disciple who progressed from turning back while on a missionar
 y journey with Paul and Barnabas to proclaiming in his Gospel Jesus of Naz
 areth as Son of God\, and bearing witness to that faith in his later life 
 as friend and companion to the apostles Peter and Paul.
