Mark Background

The Gospel of Mark is the earliest chronicle of the ministry of Jesus. These writings emphasize what following Christ looks like.

Although no direct authorship is given in the gospel, early church testimony attributes its writing to John Mark, the relative of Barnabas (Acts 12).

Mark likely was not a personal follower of Jesus, but was a companion of the Apostle Peter. This relationship would explain Mark’s knowledge of the details of Christ’s life.
