Mark-<br />
In light <strong>of</strong> both external and internal evidence it is<br />
reasonable to affirm that <strong>the</strong> “John/Mark” in Acts and <strong>the</strong><br />
Epistles authored this Gospel. He was a <strong>Jewish</strong> Christian<br />
who lived in Jerusalem with Mary his mo<strong>the</strong>r during <strong>the</strong><br />
early days <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> church.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir home was an early Christian meeting place (cf. Acts<br />
12:12). It is possible it was <strong>the</strong> location <strong>of</strong> Jesus’ last<br />
Passover meal (cf. comments on Mark 14:12-16). Mark<br />
was probably <strong>the</strong> “young man” who fled away naked after<br />
Jesus’ arrest in Gethsemane (cf. comments on 14:51-52).<br />
Peter’s calling him “my son” (cf. 1 Peter 5:13) may mean<br />
Mark became a Believer through Peter’s influence.
