Gospel Of Mark Summary

300 Words2 Pages
According to tradition, John Mark authored the Gospel of Mark (Harris, 2014). This historical tradition has John Mark accompanying two chief apostles, Peter & Paul. The first evidence of this comes from a bishop named Papias (Harris, 2014). This bishop claims Mark was a follower of Peter and used Peter’s accounts of Jesus for his Gospels (Harris, 2014).
