rdfs:comment
  • Mark the Evangelist was a saint. Mark's sarcophagus lay in the Venetian catacombs under the Biblioteca di San Barnaba and was there in 1938 when doctors Indiana Jones and Elsa Schneider were searching for the Tomb of Sir Richard.
  • John Mark (born Yohanan), son of Mary, was probably born in Jerusalem around AD 10. He acquired the surname Marcus, perhaps at birth, and lived with his mother in Jerusalem. He would meet and be discipled by Peter shortly before the apostle left Jerusalem to work among the diaspora of the Jews. After being recruited by his cousin Barnabas, he would accompany Paul during his first missionary journey. After briefly leaving the mission field, he joined Barnabas planting churches on the island of Cyprus.

abstract
  • John Mark (born Yohanan), son of Mary, was probably born in Jerusalem around AD 10. He acquired the surname Marcus, perhaps at birth, and lived with his mother in Jerusalem. He would meet and be discipled by Peter shortly before the apostle left Jerusalem to work among the diaspora of the Jews. After being recruited by his cousin Barnabas, he would accompany Paul during his first missionary journey. After briefly leaving the mission field, he joined Barnabas planting churches on the island of Cyprus. Internal evidence and tradition indicate that John Mark wrote the concise Gospel that bears his name. In this account, he tells of Jesus as the miracle-working teacher who, though the Jewish Messiah, appealed to all God-fearing citizens of the Roman empire.
  • Mark the Evangelist was a saint. Mark's sarcophagus lay in the Venetian catacombs under the Biblioteca di San Barnaba and was there in 1938 when doctors Indiana Jones and Elsa Schneider were searching for the Tomb of Sir Richard.
