Mark or John Mark (ca. CE 19 - ?) the writer of the gospel of Mark,
was the first cousin of Barnabas, a son of Mary. He is understood herein as the John Mark of
the Acts, the Mark of the Pauline Epistles (Colossians, Philippians, II Timothy), the Mark
of I Peter, and Mark the Evangelist mentioned in early Christian literature.
His birth
was about CE 19. The basis of this inference is the account of John Mark, presumably
concerning himself, about a certain young man who escaped naked from the scene of Jesus'
arrest in CE 30 (Mark 14:50-51).
The behavior is that of a pre-teenager. See Mary, Mother of John
Mark. Mark's youth is consistent of his deserting Paul and Barnabas. By this reckoning
he would have been about 24 years old.

national archive and treasury of the kings of Judah lie hidden deep
underground in the ancient City of David? |
The tomb of King David has been lost
since the days of Herod the Great. Have archaeologists and historians now
isolated its location? New research suggests the tomb, and a national
archive and treasury containing unbelievable wealth, lies not far south of
the Haram esh-Sharif. You will find the implications astounding. |
