The author of the Gospel of Mark was John Mark. John Mark had been a Greek-Speaker. He hadn’t been an eye witness of Jesus’ ministry and often made inaccurate recalling about the geography of Palestine. According to the Acts of the Apostles and letters in the New Testament, John Mark was the son of Mary, a Christian in Jerusalem, the cousin of Barnabas with which he accompanied on his first missionary journey along with Paul, and is referred to as ‘my son’ by St Peter. He was associated with St Peter and was his follower an interpreter and recorded his preaches. Mark, having become the interpreter of Peter, wrote down accurately whatsoever he remembered. It was not, however, in exact order that he related the sayings or deeds of Christ because he neither heard the Lord nor accompanied Him. It is believed he probably used existing collections of miracle stories and saying of Jesus to piece together his gospel. However it is believed that Mark had once encountered Jesus, described in the passage Mk 14:51-52, and talks of a young man fleeing the garden when Jesus was captured.
