# John Mark # ## Facts: ## John Mark, also known as "Mark," was one of the men who traveled with Paul on his missionary journeys. He is most likely the author of the Gospel of Mark. * John Mark accompanied his cousin Barnabas and Paul on their first missionary journey. * When Peter was put in prison in Jerusalem, the believers there were praying for him at John Mark's mother's house. * Mark was not an original apostle, but was taught by both Paul and Peter and worked together with them in ministry.
