Concise Bible Dictionary
:
A
disciple
described as “
John
, whose
surname
was Mark,” and as “sister’s
son
to
Barnabas
.” When
Peter
was miraculously delivered from
prison
he resorted to the
house
of
Mary
, who was Mark’s
mother
. Peter may have been the means of his
conversion
, for he calls him his “son” (
1 Peter 5:13
13
The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son. (1 Peter 5:13)
). He accompanied
Paul
and Barnabas on their first missionary journey, but left them at
Perga
. When the second journey was proposed, Paul did not think it right to take Mark with them; but on Barnabas pressing this, they separated, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed to
Cyprus
(
Acts 12:12,25
12
And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying. (Acts 12:12)
25
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark. (Acts 12:25)
;
Acts 13:5,13
5
And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister. (Acts 13:5)
13
Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem. (Acts 13:13)
;
Acts 15:37,39
37
And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark. (Acts 15:37)
39
And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus; (Acts 15:39)
). Paul and Mark were afterward reconciled; he was with Paul at
Rome
and was commended to the Colossians (
Acts 4:10
10
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. (Acts 4:10)
;
Philem. 1:24
24
Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlaborers. (Philemon 24)
). He was with Peter at
Babylon
, and when Paul was a second
time
a prisoner at Rome, he asked for Mark, saying he was serviceable for the ministry (
2 Tim. 4:11
11
Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. (2 Timothy 4:11)
). Doubtless this Mark was
God
’s instrument in
writing
the Gospel
bearing his name.
